    Excited to have a local bookstore to browse. Neat, non-claustrophobic space with a nicely arranged offering of both new and used books.

    Not a large selection, but a good selection. Lots of high quality titles at reasonable prices.

    *this the same review I wrote for the Mebane store" figured since I went to both on the same day…read moreand have similar feelings toward both. No need to rewrite the exactly how I feel. I do not write this review lightly. This store may have ruined all other physical media stores in my vicinity for me. It's like I died and went to heaven. The selection here - unimaginably fantastic The organization - I wish other stores would take notes. Easy on the eyes as your scanning The value - fair. Some super good deals. Some not so much. Way too dangerous for my wallet to come here often. And probably a good thing it's 4 hours away from me. I will be coming back though

    Found myself here looking for a couple used cookbooks I wanted…read more Let me tell you, this place is a lot bigger than you think a used book store should be. They also have so much more like collectibles, musical equipment and much more. You can definitely kill a few hours here if you aren't careful. So much to see. I did find a couple books I wanted at a good price. I also found a used computer keyboard I needed. The books are somewhat organized but finding specific authors can be challenging. Their book collection is extensive. The staff was friendly and there is plenty of parking. I'll be going back to spend more time. I didn't have a lot of time to spend. If you're into books, and more, check it out

    I enjoy visiting this jam-packed store and perusing the assortment of books, magazines, stationery,…read moreplanners, calendars, cards, toys and gifts. Having a Starbucks on premises is a nice touch. As other Yelpers have noted, unfortunately this location has felt it necessary to add numerical code locks to the restrooms. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the logistics of needing to use the restroom at the back of the store then needing to traverse to the front of the store to get the code, and back again, is asking a lot and will cause my visits to be cut short.

    I have always enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around Barnes & Noble, hunting for interesting books…read more I am a voracious reader. I have been a member for years now. The discount and earned rewards are worth the cost of membership. I could spend all day there, perusing the various things that interest me. I am not happy with their change to adding a code to get into the bathroom. I realize they had issues with homeless people misusing the bathroom, but as a rectal cancer survivor, I don't have the time to hunt for an employee to get the code. I was literally seconds away from a bowel accident today, then had to turn around and find an employee. I was lucky, there was a guy shelving books close to the bathrooms. What if he hadn't been there, though? If I had to walk to the customer service desk or the register to get the code, I would have definitely had an accident. My suggestion to anybody that has bathroom issues, or small children, ask for the code as soon as you walk in the door. That way, you don't have to hunt for an employee and risk accidents. That is what I will be doing from now on.

    Best place to get college textbooks for Forsyth Technical Community College! I get my books from…read morehere every year and it's reasonable pricing and AMAZING customer service every time.

    I was a longtime customer of textbook brokers. I have spent a couple thousand dollars with this…read morebusiness between buying and renting books. This past semester I rented one book from textbook brokers. The rental was about $70 on a $120 book. After using this company since 2013 I had become accustomed to them sending me a text a couple days before my book(s) were due. This Summer semester no such text arrived, nor did a phone call, nor did an email. I was alerted by my Discover card that I had been charged over $120 by textbook brokers. I got in contact with the Winston location and was told there was no way for me to receive a refund even when I was willing to use my lunchbreak at work that same day to bring the book back. It is saddening that a company treats a longtime customer in a way to pocket a relateively small amount of money compared to the thousands I've spent with them. I was referred to the regional manager, Brian, who was at the Jamestown location. I called and left a message for Brian and was told he would return my call in a few minutes. Four hours later I call back and speak a representative who tells me Brian is available. I then got hung up on, called back twice, and finally got ahold of Brian. He was rude and confrontational. Frequently cutting me off while speaking, he stated that the text message that they have sent me a dozen times in the last five years likely was blocked by my carrier, even though I've had the same carrier during the duration of me doing business with textbook brokers. He then hit me with the fine print of "It is on your receipt", "It was on your book", etc... I understand all that, given my book was binder pages and the plastic which had the due date was long gone. This comes down to a lack of respect for the customer. After using this company for years and spending a considerable amount of money textbook brokers is willing to lose my business over a book that I was willing to give back immediately once the confusion was addressed. If that isn't an embarrassing excuse for a customer service experience I do not know what is.
