Barnes & Noble Booksellers

I stopped in here to pick up a book so I had something to read at night instead of watching tv in the hotel. Walking around, I noticed this place has a large animae collection compared to bother B&N bookstores I have visited in the pass. Good selection, well organized, and plenty of parking.

Nice bookstore in town, they have many magazines selection which you could read through when you visit there, and I love the puzzles sell there, and employees are helpful to find the book you want, although if you don’t know specific book you want, you could do research before go there, it’s hard to find a specific book in bookstore when you are in rush, but if you have a lot if time, it’s good to spend time there going through books on the shelf.

You hear a lot about how brick and mortar chains are unable to compete with online retailers like Amazon. Here’s a shining example of why.
Went into this B&N after seeing they had a book on stock for $ 33. There was an option to pick up in store, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted it, so I went into the store to flip through it first. I decided I wanted it and brought it to the register to pay for it, only to be told that it was $ 50, and that, despite the $ 33 pick up in store option, that was an online-​only price.
So let’s wrap our heads around that one. Despite the fact that I saved them the labor costs of getting my book from the shelf, additional storage space for items to be set aside, and online credit card processing fees, they were going to charge me 50% more for the book.
Sorry, B&N; I decided to wait an additional day for my order from Amazon and get the book for $ 33. But when you guys decide to close 40% of your stores because you can’t compete, just take a look through your pricing policies to realize why you squandered the one distribution advantage you had over Amazon.

Yes. It’s a chain bookstore and, chain or not, bookstores are a sadly dying thing. Yes, you can get the things they sell cheaper online. That can be said for any product from any store because warehouses cost less in rent, electricity, paying employees, theft (maybe), etc.
But in a REAL bookstore, you can LEISURELY (remember when things didn’t have to happen IMMEDIATELY to satisfy people?) stumble on things you might not find in your Internet search. You can browse a book or magazine before purchase (not just the first few pages.) You can physically assess the worth of the item to you.
Not to mention that every employee with whom I’ve interacted here, whether at the café, music/​video dept., info desks, or cash wrap, has been extremely friendly and helpful. Hell, Christi in the café alone makes a trip here worth it.
The store is spacious, there is lots of seating, desks at which one can do computer/​school work or socialize, and it’s pretty clean.
They also have a pretty good discount program. Sure, it costs $ 25 bucks a year, but it gets you 10 percent off everything (and 40% off hardcover bestsellers), and as someone who buys tons of books, mags and café items during my visits, it winds up being cheaper than it would cost me to pay shipping for these items if I bought them online.
And no matter how many reviews I read online from nameless faceless strangers, I will always prefer getting recommendations from people I can look in the eye and get to know, B&N. Someone still loves you.

I’m really going to miss bookstores once they become «extinct.» This Barnes and Noble is very well organized and easy to find everything. The central help desk is a huge plus so you don’t have to hunt down a sales associate. It’s a great place to find books and magazines on every topic that you can think of.
I’m begging all of you, don’t just come here to scan barcodes to see if Amazon has it cheaper or to just use the wifi and read the books there. Buy something to keep these places in business.

This is actually one of the nicest Barnes and Noble I’ve been to. It is more spacious, it has it’s own café area selling Starbucks coffee, an area where there are comfy couches to read books, and tables and chair for college students to study. My bf and I love to come here during the weekend just to chill and read books and I somehow prefer this place more than the Monroe Library.
The staffs are really friendly too, whenever they passes me, they’d ask if they could help me find anything. Pleasant experience so far!
