On September 20, 2005, Books-A-Million, Inc.

The Company will request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to ask for a waiver of the compliance failure until the Company files its From 10-Q for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2005. The Company intends to become current in its filing obligations as soon as possible. The Company previously announced that it would not be able to file its Form 10-Q for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2005, as a result of management's ongoing evaluation of the Company's internal control over financial reporting for such period. The Company's appeal to the Panel will automatically stay the delisting of its common stock pending the Panel's review and determination. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. The Company's stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq National Market under the trading symbol "BAMME" during the pendency of the Panel's review and determination.
