What an amazing find!…read more Didn't know about this place before coming in and just floored at how much stuff was here. In a nutshell - Video games, collectibles, dvds, cds, vinyl, used and new books, board games and even musical instruments. It's a great store to look around and find some things you didn't realize you wanted!

I had no idea this store even existed until now lol, but wow it's absolutely huge. They have books,…read moreFunkos, CDs, records, collectibles, kids toys, blind bags, and pretty much every 80's baby dream item you could think of. My daughter and I loved the variety and could honestly spend forever looking around. I also think it's really neat that they buy your items and resell gently used treasures, so you never know what you're going to find. It's such a fun place to shop if you're looking for a unique or special gift. There's plenty of parking, the staff always says hi when I walk in, and the whole vibe is welcoming and nostalgic. Overall highly recommended. Definitely check it out!

I haven't been to the Friends of the Library book sale in a while, so going was kind of an…read moreexperience. I didn't really have a goal in mind for what I wanted, so just going through the stacks and browsing to see if anything caught my eye was the basic plan. Lots of people lined up, but I got through the line pretty quickly. Inside, the books are arranged in a reasonable order, and the different sections are easy to identify, so finding areas that interested me was not a problem. Coming across the cooking section, I found that there were a number of smaller cookbooks that I like to term as "Wive's Club Cookbooks" which can be some of the best/most entertaining cookbooks you can come across due to the nature of the recipes that are contained in them. You never know what you are going to find in them, though recipes from the 1960's are prevalent and gelatin comes into heavy play. Good stuff there, and I stocked up on them. Overall, the Friends of the Library book sale is always a good thing to go to!

Even here Liberals have to assert their politics. The book 'Rigged' by Molly Hemingway was in a section labeled "Political Fiction". I had read the whole thing and it was well researched, with over 84 pages of sources. I challenge anyone to find just one false statement in it.

It has been a number of years since I had been in a Barnes and Noble, the last time being down in…read moreOcala (since the one in Gainesville had closed down many years before). Hearing that one had opened in Gainesville again, I thought that to be interesting, but not something that I really needed to go into deliberately... no, I could wait until I was in the area and didn't really have much else planned. Well, that time has finally come, and after a visit through Best Buy two doors down (where I didn't buy anything... I was just curious what technological gadgets exist these days) I walked into Barnes and Noble. Entering, it seemed to have the same sorts of things I have grown accustomed to in these stores over the years. Newly published and best sellers at the front, then stacks going towards the back that hold various subject matter. Coffee shop to the right, which was NOT Starbucks and therefore did not make the entire store reek of burnt coffee. I started walking through the store, when I realized that the layout is not all that great. Because of the height of the stacks and the way that they are labelled, it is pretty much impossible to know where different sections of material are located without walking through the entire store to find them. Sight lines are kind of ruined, so figuring out where romance novels or the kids section is will take a bit of exploring. However, this is not the problem I had with the store. I mean, I get that... you want people to walk through the store to some extent so that they see more of the store and what you have to offer. No... My biggest problem with the store is that once I found the section I wanted, the books were in no discernible order! Every other store I have ever been in (that wasn't a second hand store where books kind of just get grouped into a section) has the books ordered alphabetically by author, but here? Nope. Science fiction and fantasy started out with the A's, quickly ramped through the alphabet, then started again. Same happened with the Y/A section and children's section. It just... doesn't make sense. Looking for a very popular author in the SciFi/Fantasy section, there were none in stock. None. An author with more than eighty titles, including recent (in the past year) releases, and nothing in stock. There are other bookstores in town, ones that are closer for me, and I do not see myself going to this store anytime soon.

One of the employees that work there could not have been any more rude. The gentleman with the red…read morehair and glasses was very rude to me and my wife when we came in there from out of town. It seemed as if he was irritated that we were customers potential buyers in his store. He didn't even make an attempt to look into our direction he like at least four or five customers go in front of us, and when I finally asked him about the price of a game he was very irritated and impatient because I didn't hear him the first time when he was incredibly soft spoken he should consider getting a megaphone. Horrible Customer Service overall to the point I almost considered going to a GameStop instead. This store will not get my business ever unless that employee is fired. Do yourself a favor and avoid the store. unfortunately, there isn't an option for me to write the store zero stars or I would.

There are an intriguing selection of old comics, magazines, toys and sports cards. I like coming in to find random stuff like Shell Scott Mystery Magazine from 1966, five issues of a series reprinting EC Comics' Extra and the program for the 1970 Palatka High School football team. Boxes of back issues are full of $3 comics. One wall has CGC-graded comics.
