    The Barnes & Noble and the Buck A Book in Downtown Crossing closed years ago, and more recently the…read moreB&N at the Pru closed during the pandemic in 2022. When I happened upon the Barnes & Noble at Derby St Shops, I came to realize that I had somehow been mentally convinced that there were no more open locations. So this was a pleasant surprise! Nice and spacious with a well decorated children's area and a Starbucks on the right. Stop on by and peruse some books!

    As book stores close everywhere around and people are sad maybe the CEOs should visit the stores…read moreand see the problems. I have a kindle but went to Barnes and Noble for a book for a gift and was also shopping around. The person in the middle that helps you look up books was very helpful. However that's where it ended. We went to the cafe and I know it's Starbucks not Barnes and Noble but the people working there were very rude to us. They gave us moldy food we had to return no apology. Then when we went to check out at Barnes and Noble we couldn't remember the number for our rewards and the woman checking us out said snarkily "oh now we are onto the 3rd number" then when we went to give the other number she goes "wait a minute wait a minute" like yelling at us.....safe to say we will stick to our kindles and go elsewhere for gifts which sucks! But like I said if anyone is wondering why places are closing it's customer service related!

    I buy all of my books from the Frugal Bookstore. If they don't have it in stock, they order it for…read moreme and they have it for me the next time I go in. They give me 10% off every time I spend a certain amount of money (I don't remember what the amount is. They keep track for me). What I love most about the Frugal Bookstore is their collection of BIPOC children's books. I love knowing that the books that I buy for my nieces and nephews will feature BIPOC characters and stories. Thanks to these books, they will grow up seeing representation and knowing that diversity and inclusion is normal. Most of the books at the Frugal Bookstore are written by BIPOC authors or feature BIPOC characters and issues. There are also a few small gift items and calendars. The store is pretty small but packs a big punch. It's well-organized, clean and usually overseen by Nia, the owners' daughter. She's really welcoming and friendly. She got me into Sister Souljah's books! I'd want people stopping by to know that the hours are kind of limited. I sometimes kill time at the nearby Dudley Cafe before heading over to the Frugal Bookstore. Also, the front door can stick and requires a good pull/push to open. I wouldn't want those characteristics to deter anybody because I love frequenting this bookstore!

    Very helpful staff. It's a place for anyone to enter who wants to expand their options as readers…read moreand citizens of the world. Broad selection for sure! Staff can help you hone in on in store and online options.

    Blue Bunny Books is easily one of my favorite locations to walk to and hang out. During my…read morepregnancy, I have found myself walking into town just to be able to sit and do some work while sipping on a yummy drink. Their cafe isn't just creative, it's extensive! They really have something for everyone here. My boyfriend, who is more of a tea than a coffee person, hasn't found any complaints when trying their drinks (and he may be as much of a drink critic as I am). If you have kids, Blue Bunny also does creative and fun events to engage and involve your little ones in some much-needed book-themed fun. With our family expecting our first baby, we're beyond thrilled to bring her over to Blue Bunny's events, no matter how old she is. Blue Bunny is such a staple to the Dedham community, and I will always enjoy going back for some yummy coffees and good books.

    What a cute little bookshop with cafe! We stopped in just to check out the selection but I was…read moredrawn in by its small chop charm. My son and I grabbed some drinks from the cafe and they were delicious, then as we waited browsed their selection. There are more children's books overall but they do carry toys, trinkets, cards, crafts, historical books and more. The woman working the front was super sweet and the lady behind the cafe counter was too, their service was welcoming. As far as value I'd rather support local than the big store. Their prices are the norm but yes you can find majority of these books at big retailers for less. They both also gave a military discount even though I don't believe that is the norm for them but much appreciated. Overall great experience.
