Barnes & Noble

Barnes & Noble is a great place to browse potential investments in literature. What I like about this Barnes & Noble is that it appeals to many demographics by having different types of displays and designated sections of the store. There is a children’s section, a traveler’s section, a tabloid section, and of course, sections for, pretty much, all major book genres. There is also a café!
What I like about this Barnes & Noble is that it looks clean, has a helpful staff, and overall is a great location to read, study, or just ponder about life. With a great selection of books, and a peaceful yet active atmosphere, this Barnes & Noble is worth a visit for all book worms.

Absolutely love reading, and love books!
I was around the area, so I stopped by this book store. Not like I had a choice, since all other book stores are closed in town. It’s really a matter of time how long Barnes and Noble will be in business, too.
I hope for a very, very long time!
It feels different, holding a beautiful book in hand and reading it, thank read something online.
So, I particularly came to this store, to pick up a copy of a handbook, Windows 10, guide book, for my friend.
As soon as I walked in, I got distracted by the newly released books, in the front area.
Behind that, a huge amount of beautiful books …
Bargain Books … Seriously, they’re priced ridiculously low, around $ 9.99-$ 19.99.
I found the book, further back, what I purchased for my friend.
I didn’t sign up for a membership, so I got no more discounts. The cashier would sign you up or give you information about their website to visit and complete the registration. If you are shopping regularly, it’s worth it!
There is also Starbucks coffee inside the bookstore!

If you fancy browsing books, magazines etc in Antartica, then this is your place. Does not compare to Boca Park location in terms of variety.

What a terrible store! We waited 10 minutes in line while a cashier helped a customer, we thought she finally acknowledged our wait when she called help, only to have that person start to help her and ignore the ever growing line! After 15 minutes in line to buy one item someone finally showed up to open a second cash register, in a crowded store! They definitely need to realize when a wait is forming.

Great service! Great selection! Great staff!!! Highly recommend this book store over any others in town! They always have what i’m looking for!

Nice place to enjoy some peace and quiet. Lots to chose for kids and toys too– collectables.

In this day & age when bookstores are in financial trouble (can buy a used book, which are just as good as new, on amazon for .99 cents), u would think they would try harder to appeal to customer service. Was in store the other day & the men’s room was an abomination. It looked like the men’s room at a football stadium during homecoming: toilet paper on floor in stalls, hand towels all over the floor & in sinks; toilets unflushed. One sink had all black soot in it like someone lit something on fire & left the ashes in the sink. Floor was filthy; didn’t even want to walk in there.

Quite, clean and friendly staff. Starbucks and coffee always make for an enjoyable visit.

3 stars for the Starbucks staff member training a new employee. In no uncertain terms, and loud enough for all the café to hear, the staff member placed very heavy emphasis on details, details, DETAILS! When every other staff member, including her, most likely fails miserably at providing even okay service.
5 stars for the quiet, clean location and great inventory. Additional plus for the AC in the aisle as it blew icy air during a very hot day.

I’ve stopped in on occasion to pick out gifts for people, but this time it was for me. I went on their website to reserve 2 copies of a book I needed for a book signing I would be attending the following day. When I arrived to pick up the books there was a long line yet it moved along smoothly. When it was my turn at the register, I explained to the guy that I ordered a couple of books online and gave him my name. The books were saved behind the counter which I liked because you just have to go to one spot to get your order and pay without the hassle of going through the store searching for what you are looking for or having to ask to help. The guy helping me was a little bizarre. He said as he brought my books back that I could have ordered online and had it all shipped to my house for a discount. I explained that found out last minute about a book signing that I wanted to attend and didn’t have time waiting for them to be mailed to me. He then ask me if I was sure and I told him that I was very sure and didn’t mind paying regular price for both books since I needed them right away. I get them letting customers know about different discounts and offers, but I sort of felt like he was a salesman that would have rather I buy the order online than in the store. I ended up getting my books and liked the convenience of reserving books online since sometimes certain stuff runs out. This way if it’s in stock, they will send you an e-​mail confirming that they have your items on hold at the location you selected and how long they will hold it for.

This location is an old favorite for mine. Friendly booksellers, comfortable café and a relaxed shopping environment to browse through some shelves full of books.

3 stars for the terrible service at Starbucks and 4 stars for B&N. It’s so sad that technology has taken over the book universe because our beloved borders and now Barnes and noble is going downhill. From what went to my favorite book spot has been cut down into ¹⁄₃ of what it originally was. It’s so sad that Amazon and other sites have taken my favorite pleasures away from me. The books are pretty lame now and super overpriced. I missed how books were back in the day.

Best Barnes & Noble in town! They have a huge selection of books, magazines, calendars, music and other things. Very rarely are they ever out of stock on something or don’t have something I need. The staff is very friendly and provide excellent service. There is a Starbucks there which is awesome to go to after purchasing a book to relax. I come at least once a month and make the drive from green valley to the north side, so I definitely recommend it.

I went into this store with my daughter i really think is organize and the staff know where the books you want are and they’d even accepted my expire coupon .
My daughter got the book she wanted and we walk out very happy, because we were treated nicely ad got take care of.

I live southwest now, but after visiting the Charleston location today… I would definitely make the drive to this location instead. Information desk & cashiers are more friendlier, acknowledge you & offer extra help (ie offering to look it up on their computer).

I wish I could give a zero star rating. Last night I brought my daughter to Barnes & Nobel to pick out a book. I’ve been coming to this location since it opened in 2001. In the last year I’ve noticed the book selection is getting smaller and smaller and the toy selection (and not educational toys) is getting larger and larger. Seriously, toys now occupy 15 — 20% of the store. Rather than go to the children’s book area my daughter, naturally, wanted to check out the toys. What happened to the zen atomosphere of the book store? If I wanted to be around a bunch of screaming kids I’d be at Toys ** Us.
I went to share my opinion with the manager. She was very rude and said the toys sell better than the books and that Barnes & Nobel is closing stores that don’t sell toys.
Books are my thing. I own an iPad, and iPhone, a touch laptop and a Samsung tablet. and guese what? I still prefer to buy the hard books rather than read them on an electronic device. I love the feel of a book and I love to re-​read them. I also spend a minimum of $ 2,500+ per year on books and magazines. All at Barnes & Nobel. But the dumb Barnes & Noble manager could care less.
Note to Barnes & Noble — please do a better job training your managers to be more customer friendly. It would also help to hire managers that actually like to read.

Sometimes you just need to go wander around in a bookstore for a few hours right? Maybe a title or cover art will grab you and when you get home you will actually read something instead of watching reruns of keeping up with the Kardashians. What? You won’t? Yea probably not…
Look I get it– I have Amazon prime. The bookstore is probably going the way of the Dinosaur. Online is cheaper, more convenient blah blah blah. But you know what? I still enjoy shopping around in an actual bookstore looking at titles, judging other people based on their purchase of teen vampire novels, buying overpriced coffee.
I get most of my stuff online, but I still try to get at least 1 out of 3 books in an actual store to support them financially so that there will always be a place I can go to kill time between other more important things like getting southwest egg rolls at Chilis and then getting a shake at Which Wich.
In terms of book stores though it’s not like there is any competition in the area so Barnes and Nobles it is. I don’t like that 90% of the store is dedicated to young adult, self improvement, and origami kits but I guess those are just the trends these days. Plus it gives me something to complain about in my snooty voice to any employee unlucky enough to engage me in conversation.

I seek out a Barnes and Noble every year for my new pocket calendar and this one didn’t fail me! I bought it just after the new year so I scored with 50% off.
I do wish there were more locations around though because this one was QUITE out of the way!

Coffee, snacks, books, gets a little loud and crowded and Sundays. I preferred Borders, but they are gone. :(As Barnes and Nobles is the last big bookstore with coffee, and tables, it’ll do.
I wish they were more consistent with their snacks. The cheesecake usually has a hard crust on it, and the cream puffs come and go. Sigh.

Not that I have many options, seeing as this is all that’s left of the big bookstores, but this is currently my favorite bookstore. I love grabbing a cup of coffee and wandering around looking for something to add to my already full bookcases.
The store is nice and roomy, and most of it dedicated to books, unlike the store on Charleston, which is 30% kids section, 30% cds and dvds, with the rest left over for the Starbucks and a few lonely bookshelves.
That’s not the case here. They have a very wide selection of books and magazines, and I always find what I’m looking for here.
The staff is also very helpful and friendly.
It’s not my precious Borders, but it’ll do.
