Books-A-Million Receives 10,000 Copies

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Books-A-Million, Inc. (NASDAQ:BAMM) today announced that Forbes magazine has reprinted 10,000 copies of its issue featuring Alabama head football coach Nick Saban. Customer demand at Books-A-Million stores helped convince the publisher of Forbes to reprint 10,000 copies of the popular issue, which sold out in 10 minutes at Books-A-Million's Alabama stores last Friday.

The magazine features Coach Nick Saban on the cover as the most powerful coach in sports. He will be the first college football coach to make the Forbes cover since the magazine was started in 1917.

Books-A-Million is one of the nation's leading book retailers and sells on the Internet at www.booksamillion.com. The Company presently operates more than 200 stores in 20 states and the District of Columbia. The Company operates two distinct store formats, including large superstores operating under the names Books-A-Million and Books & Co., and traditional bookstores operating under the name Bookland. The Company's wholesale operations include American Wholesale Book Company and Book$mart, both based in Florence, Alabama.
