Barnes & Noble Booksellers

I personally love books so any b&n will do but I love this one I can find what I want but if they don’t you can order it online from their online book store
I think it would be an amazing place to just go and relax and get some star bucks and read the book you just purchased
I hope if you go there you like it as much as I do and treat yourself to some Starbucks right there

It’s got all the necessities of a typical BN, but does not have many of the luxuries of many BNs.
Seating is limited with nothing too fancy. One of the major reasons for limited seating is that there is no café or starbucks within the store. There is one that’s connected thru a non-​outdoors entrance, but what’s the point if you can’t just grab an unpurchased book and just sit, relax and read? That starbucks might as well not even have that entrance, although it probably brings more business to the starbucks.
There are a wide selection of books and gifts, like most BNs.
One upside is that this BN is quiet and there are nooks where you can sit. chairs along the windows in the front, benches by the magazines and a totally empty room for floor or chair seating.

This Barn’s & Noble store has a Dim Sum near by. A Shopper Food Warehouse, Red Robin Hamburger, Wendy’s I have some question about on it’s review. They had a Blockbuster Video Store and more.
Here’s my review.
Even it a nice location but it only has so many table for there customer. We’ll stock with a Starbuck’s with the store. So you can’t take any book in the store. Plug outlet are little or noon.
Restroom like all another has some what clean restroom. Nook station and a well stock magazine stand. It will slowly disappear do to detail copy sold online. Every thing is a one floor and not like Tyson’s Corner or other double floor stores.
I my go back one more time. But I still like Tyson’s better then all. Second is Potomac Yard. Soon in remodeling for a town center.

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: A relaxing atmosphere with helpful and knowledgeable staff.
A great place to buy books for gift giving or to relax and read and find a book for yourself.
There are lots of sitting areas and benches for reading.

We were disappointed with this store. Having a Starbucks attached is OK, but I far prefer the B&N stores that have their own coffee shop. There is much more seating in the B&N in the Clarendon area, and you can bring books rom the store there to read. Ditto at Tyson’s Corner. At this store you can only bring books into Starbucks you have paid for.
Stopped by again tonight, since this is the closest store to us, and left empty-​handed after experiencing a long wait and complete incompetence at the checkout counter. Who wants to spend 20 minutes waiting in line to buy a book?

This place gets a solid 3 stars for one reason… They have an actual Starbucks inside of it. In this part of Arlington there are not many small/​local coffee spots and no actual Starbucks around. So this Barnes & Noble is it for coffee.
That being said — I was pleasantly surprised to find a full legit Starbucks. Not only that too boot they were staffed fully to handle the really large crowd of people who needed their morning fix as well. If you need coffee and for some reason find yourself in this part of Arlington this B&N is the stop off point for you!

Nice store. Never seems too busy at this location so it’s easy to get in and get out if needed.
The kids section is really nice!

I shop at many B&N’s in the area (as they are the only chain bookstore left) and I think the staff there is helpful and friendly. Like most retailers they have their opportunities with things but I think overall I would say this store does a better job then most in the area.
On several occasions Managers have offered to pick up a product on their way home or way in and bring to the store so I don’t have to drive and are always quick to find a way for me to save money, which in this day and age is rare at a retail store!
I hope these guys stay around because the cozy atmosphere in the store is worth the headache the parking lot and shopping center provide!

I occasionally would come here to study and do a quick read. It’s a really relaxing place with friendly staff. The only thing that I wish they could improve upon is the study area – I shouldn’t complain because most Bookstore doesn’t have a dedicated study area. The furniture would sometime be moved to an awkward location and sometime there would be hardly any chairs.
Tip: Just ignore the nook-​guy/​gal that keep asking you if you have any questions when you just take ONE look at the new nook tablet. I suggest look and run.
As for sales and prices, it’s a typical book store =(. They have a pretty good selection on books.

Nightmare return. I recently purchased a nook tablet that I decided to return on the same day. I found it heavy, and I decided to keep the lighter nook reader. This store made it near impossible and quite a hassle to return the tablet. I had my original receipt and all original packaging. It took more than 40 minutes to complete the return. Also, since the device was purchased in DC and returned in VA, they did not refund me the full amount of tax paid in DC. So, you waste 40 minutes of your time and you still don’t get all your money back. Avoid the hassle and go for the iPad if you want a nice screen. Keep the light nook if you want a compact reader.

I love it there, it’s a really great place to just chill, read, or get some homework done. Sometimes I go after work and just read for hours. I love doing homework there. It’s nice, tranquil, there’s music playing; it’s just a relaxing atmosphere.
Except just one time only, there was an employee that acted like a bitch to me and my study group. We were sitting around a pillar using our laptops and doing homework. (Sitting on the floor was allowed, as long as you weren’t sitting in an aisle.) She kept eyeing us and giving us dirty looks. We ignored it her, but then this guy came over and said that we were being disruptive. I didn’t understand how because we weren’t talking at all. We looked over at the lady and she just smirked and walked away.

Barnes and Noble is awesome. I love the selection, and I can literally spend hours in here.

I love coming here to peruse their discount titles and magazines. I don’t think I’ve ever had any trouble finding a book I was looking for, but I agree that their reading area isn’t very welcoming. The chairs are pretty uncomfortable so it seems like they don’t want you staying and reading the book inside but actually buy it.
The parking lot can be hectic around meal times on weekends with people going to eat at Fortune. I’ve been stuck in many a parking aisle waiting for stupid drivers to get out of the middle (and I mean dead center) of the lane.

This is the only Barnes & Noble in the area that I’ve seen that has outdoor seating. Just that fact alone deserves an extra star, especially now that the weather has gotten so nice.
But if you don’t like the smell of cigarettes, try to avoid the outdoor seating between 5 – 7 on weekend evenings. Apparently this is where all the cabbies (read: usually heavy smokers) hang out during their break. Who knew?! On a recent Sunday, I finally moved to a table far away after being attacked by smoke from both sides where groups of 5 – 6 cabbies gathered.
The inside is your typical Barnes and Noble, with a Starbucks attached.

I found this to be a decent Barnes and Noble. I visited here while in town from Cleveland and found it to have an extensive selection. The Starbucks next door is great to have there too, even though I didn’t patronize it. But, it’s dark on the inside, it’s hard to find things, and the seating area is horribly empty. Only about 5 chairs fill a large room. and there’s nothing to fill the remaining space. I had a hard time finding sections of the store. I eventually found what I was looking for though. In the end, it’s still a Barnes & Noble, but there are a few problems that plague it.

I think the best thing about this store is that it has a starbucks attached to it. As any other B&N, they have a good selection of books, but their seating area sucks monkey butt. IFor some reason, the stores seems on the dark side for me so I had to find a spot to peruse my books. I came across this brightly lighted room with a few chairs scattered throughout and huge empty area in the middle. It was not inviting or comfortable and actually just made you feel a little bit odd. They need to add more seating in this area and get rid of hte dead space in the middle — at least re-​arrange things so its not so akward! I felt like I was in some medical waiting room. Blah. This bookstore is closer to my apt, but I prefer to drive the extra distance to go to a bookstore I feel more comfortable at.
