After multiple phone calls and emails with proof provided I was told by the store manager that the order was correct and I could return it by mail if I didn't want it, at my expense.

It's an adorable New England town that looks like it was plucked straight from a movie. When you go inside, the store is so cozy. It's packed full of books and bookish merch, but so well set, there is plenty of room to explore. There are books in every nook and cranny, sorted by genre, with bookseller recommendations and plenty of signed copies. The booksellers are very knowledgeable and helpful too. If you are looking for a gift for an avid reader, they will definitely be able to help you find the perfect present. This is going to be a permanent stop for me every time I head through Connecticut.

My experience at this Barnes & Noble left me with the very strong impression that white men are not…read morewelcome here. What bothered me most was that it didn't feel accidental. While I was walking through the store, I was deliberately cut off rather than simply passed or given normal space, and the overall attitude toward me felt pointed and hostile. Then there was the comment, "Gotta love moms for that, right?" The context makes it worse. A woman who worked there was speaking to a child who apparently needed to be "cleaned up," and she specifically made that remark about moms. In the moment, the delivery came across to me as purposefully hostile toward fathers--as though mothers are automatically the ones who care for children, clean them up, provide for them, or deserve appreciation, while fathers are treated as irrelevant or as though they contribute nothing. Fathers matter too, and casually diminishing them like that is obnoxious. Any one awkward interaction can happen anywhere. What made this experience different was the accumulation of little behaviors that all seemed to communicate the same thing: you are not the kind of person we respect or particularly want here. I'm a white man, and I walked out feeling deliberately singled out and unwelcome because of it. Whether Barnes & Noble wants to acknowledge that kind of culture or not, that was my experience at this location. Customers should not have to wonder whether hostility toward their race or sex is considered acceptable simply because they happen to be white and male. I came in to browse and buy books. I shouldn't have been made to feel like my identity itself was a problem. I will never be shopping at barnes and noble again

Not the place if you want lame romance paperbacks or 100's of Harry Potter novels. Looked like they had some earlier or 1st edition novels, and books for people who want to research or read more thoughtful subjects. Worth a look if you're in the area, but again, it's not strands in NYC with aisles and aisles of books. It's a small, intimate, dead quite place with the true book lover in mind.

While waiting for my friend to search, I had a conversation with him about the book I picked up and started reading. Definitely a cool hobby to have and now that I've discovered a few comics that I like, I definitely see myself coming back.

Since the Curious Cat is one shop from the corner, the parking is close. The store has a great use of space. There are books aplenty, with something for everyone.

But there are also a lot of cute gift items, like a table of high end stickers, book tote bags, and locally made candles with scents like "indie books". Definitely watch their Facebook and Instagram - the store has three book clubs they're starting which are fun with great options! They're also later in the day so even working people can go!
