Barnes & Noble Booksellers

This Barnes & Noble is large, seems well stock but tidy, and has some helpful clerks. Yet, this location does not have a music and movie department which I would have liked. While the magazine section was large there were less travel magazines as I have seen in other B & N locations. If I lived locally the lack of these features, which I would miss, would merit a 3 star rating. Not wanting to downgrade the average of this Barnes & Noble, a favorite among locals, I posted 4 stars.

As compared to my review of the Manchester location this one is great. They are friendly, nice, willing to help and assist. They know where things are mostly unlike Manchester and off and on they even make recommendations which are helpful and don’t tear off that part on the receipt like Manchester does.

Barnes and Noble has Legos! Lots and lots of Legos!
This B&N has the added bonus of a toy section. Half of those toys are Legos. Star Wars Legos, Harry Potter Legos, city Legos, castle Legos! Legos Legos Legos.
There are apparently books here as well, which makes this a Barnes & Noble.

I love, love, love this place.
In my old age (snicker) I have turned in my party shoes and now frequently find myself HERE, of all places, on random nights. Who would have thought that? Certainly not me.
I’m mostly broke lately (because crippling debt is FUN) so I spend most of my time browsing for new titles (that I can eventually buy used for $ 2.00 on
). Okay, okay. I know. I’m a cheapskate. I’m sorry.
Anyway. What I love about Barnes and Noble (it’s not «Barnes and Nobles»…pet peeve…) is the fact that it’s mostly nice and quiet and no one bothers me. I can grab a coffee from the Starbucks café (they also sell Cheesecake Factory dishes, if you are so inclined) and wander the store for hours without a single person staring me down or trying to chat. I love that.
I can also hole up in the café for however long I want writing and surfing the (now free) internet.
When I do make conversation with the employees, they are friendly and helpful (although I did manage to completely stump the girl in the music/​movie section. Go me!). Most employees really know a lot about… well, books. Which SHOULD be a no-​brainer, really, but in this day and age isn’t. (When you’re working 40 hours a week and going to school full time, who has time to read? I’m not placing blame here. I understand totally.)
I would give this store a full five stars if there were more comfy seats available on the sales floor (I can never seem to find one that’s free) and extended hours. While I believe they close at 8 on Sunday, which is better than every other store in Enfield, I’d still like the option of going later!

I love this location of Barnes and Nobles! They have a fantastic and large selection of teaching supplies and flashcards. A much bigger selection then any other B+N’s that I have shopped at in the area. The café was nice and quite on a Saturday night, something which I am not accustomed to. It was nice!
