I have bought books from Barnes & Noble for years. They can get you a book in a timely manner. The service is great!

Yay for books! The customer service and supervisor where very generous to honor a coupon when circumstances had previously changed. They truly put the customer first and did the right thing even though they didnt have to.

The guy was super nice who checked me out and they had a great deal going on; I got 4 books for $30! Only downside is that theyre facing a bag shortage and I had to carry my book stack around for the rest of my trip which makes some things a little more difficult. Still loved the trip though!!

Its time to put the furniture/chairs back in so people can sit down and relax when theyre reading/studying. They took all of the benches and comfortable chairs out at the start of the pandemic and it doesnt seem like they have any plans on returning them. The cafe is also closed with seemingly no timeline on when it is to reopen. Why did Paul Singer buy the company if hes going to run it into the ground? Why not invest in it and make it the best bookstore in the world? I just do not understand the business strategy or the pathway for success. Its disappointing because it could be great.

It was a very pleasant experience. The associate who assisted me was very helpful in showing me different games and books. The cashier was very patient and pleasant as well. I had a gift card and she had no troublelooking it up for me.

Great place if you like being oppressed and brain washed! No mask orders in this area yet they require masks. My family was told to leave if we wouldnt wear a mask even though we have a religious exception! They clearly dont care about all thier customers only a select group. This is a violation of ADA and civil rights acts! I will be contacting my attorney.

Review №28

It shouldnt be required to drive over an hour to get to a bookstore and then be ignored by the associates working there. Until you get to checkout. Was there 4 hours with my family, 5 people total passed several associates and none offered help or even said hi, excuse me, please move nothing. It was as if we werent even there until they saw money and then the cashier was more than helpful to ensure the sale. Upon coming home we looked up the books on Amazon and we would have saved 62% on our purchases. Guess thatswhy they cant keep more stores open. Bad customer service + exorbitant prices= the internet will shut this store down too. Though I doubt the Corp. Cares anyway.

So the hours are inaccurate. They close at 8pm. Not 9pm. Sure wouldve been nice to know this before driving a half hour to get there as they were closing.

Couldnt find a book to give to my sister as a gift so I called B&N and they had it. I was able to complete my transaction and pick up the book literally within 5 mins of calling and placing the order. Book was in excellent condition and staff was professional, helpful, and kind. I cant wait to come back and next time find a new read for me!!

On Friday, August 21, after the store just opened, I had a passive-aggressive experience from the staff at this B&N and it was obvious on why I did. As I was waiting for my SUV to be repaired at a nearby garage, I visited B&N to look around and I eventually bought something. But, as I walked up to the Information desk in the middle of the store, the employee, with a terse tone asked, what are you looking for? I stated that I was looking for the audio/visual section; he pointed to where they were located. I went over to a display that had CDs & DVDs and looked around (not only was the location changed from the last time I visited, but some B&Ns have ceased even having a section). After watching me for several minutes, he walked over to me and again with a terse tone, pointed to the other sections that had more items. After finding a DVD that I was going to buy, I looked for others within the same subject matter (the NASA missions, especially to the moon). Then, I noticed the woman that was working the Cafe counter came over to the section and began to hover and watch me, pretending to clean and straighten up when there was nothing to clean nor put back in its place. After observing this for several minutes, there was another customer that was in the same area and she barely noticed him; however, she eventually came up to me and wanted to know what I was looking for. While she did assist me (they had no more of the subject in-store but would have to order it), I went to the front and purchased the DVD. After I walked out the store, I walked back in to address the woman working at the Cafe. I mentioned to her that I felt she was watching me in the CD/DVD area; she insisted that this was her area that she was responsible for and apologized that I felt that way...Considering that I was the only African-American in the store explains the attitude and behavior...The store nor Corporate has responded to this complaint, and I dont expect them to (not that it would make a difference if they did)...

A Book Lovers Palace. It has comfort for the body, a helpful staff for the temperament, and books aplenty for the mind. It helped that I got there early. They had both books I was looking for in stock.

The staff are very friendly. They have a couple of comfy chairs and you can check out books before you buy them. I wish more book stores in the area would have a seating area. When I visited I had to laugh to myself because apparently a customer was giving the clerk all kinds of trouble over the phone. But he took it like a champ. I hope his day improved.

Post your new hours online so that people who travel to your location because it is the only one open dont get there thinking they have a couple of hours to browse, and then get told they have to leave.

Love this place. It is one of the few bookstores left after Amazon has forced almost everything closed. We are very happy to support this place anytime we can. It is a fun place to browed, it is super clean, had very friendly staff, a coffee shop, and of course every type of book and accessories you can imagine. Please support Barnes $ Nobels if you appreciate books!

A store for book lovers of all ages! (And for coffee lovers too - theres a Starbucks inside!) Employees are friendly and helpful and their selection of books and magazines is unrivaled. I love their childrens area in the back of the store; theres a little stage and chairs and benches so kids can put on a show! This store is inside the beautiful Perry Crossing outdoor mall with tons of shopping and good food. Come check it out for yourself!

I have a nook(two actually) but it is still nice to look through real books. This Barnes & Noble is very nice and clean. There is plenty of space between the aisles and they have plenty of cozy chairs yup look through the books youve selected. The staff is always pleasant and helpful without being overly intrusive and annoying. I do get the feeling they truly love selling books.

Was looking to add a Blu-ray disc to my movie collection. Best Buy claimed to have it at a lower price, but they couldnt locate it. Barnes and Noble had it at a higher price, but located it immediately. It was delivered to their store a day earlier than expected by a day. I completed my collection! I could say I wished Barnes and Noble wouldve priced match, but Im just grateful for their help.

I forever pray bookstores can resist the soaring flight that is Amazon, because theres something great about having the book in hand to look through when youre looking for something altogether new to read. Plus theres awesome journals and coffee table books that youd never find otherwise.

Such a great places to leisurely browse through magazines and books. This is particularly nice, perhaps due to it being a newer facility or perhaps its just keep nicer. Either way we tend to visit this one when were are in the area.

The gentleman who helped me find the category of books I was looking for was new. He pointed me into a direction he thought, and went to go ask another employee. I didnt expect him to come back but he did and took me right to it. He also offered to look up what they had online as well. Very well taken care of as a customer, he didnt even try to sell me any trinkets or addons like at the register. Spent more time saying no to things I didnt need than to process the actual purchase.

I went in to buy a magazine that had an article written by a relative. It took a short time to find the magazine. I went to the checkout at clerk changeover time. I told the person who checked me out why I was buying the magazine. She takes the same one, and said she would read the article when she got home. I do not normally go to this store. It was a pleasant, quick experience.

Have you ever walked into somewhere and you know that thats what heaven is? The smell hits you and you know, youre home. You can find ANYTHING here. I mean not EVERYTHING, but just about every subject. I get my cookbooks from here so my boyfriend takes me often so I cook more. I dont even care. This has been my favorite place since I was little.

This is one of the few good bookstores left that is anywhere near this location. The store has a great selection, and I can always find a good deal on something interesting. Theres a Starbucks, as well as a decent media section with DVDs and Cds, and a few stocked magazine racks. The game section always has something unexpected as well. Ill definitely be coming back again!

Review №95

Barnes was always second tier, after BORDERS, but since borders has been closed for a lonnng while, Barnes is the place to go if you want a physical book. I have a membership and go enough during the year that it pays for itself and more. Dont get the membership if youre a casual reader because the cost per year is low for it, youll just be wasting that money if you dont go that often.
