I'm a sucker for used book stores, although a lot of my current reading is digital. I stopped in…read moreyesterday after Lunch next door (Side Iron BBQ) to take a look around before we headed on towards our home in Genoa. Observations: 1. Large room full of reasonably organized books. And it could easily hold a lot more. 2. I found the book I've been seeking (without the help of Amazon) - The Source by James A. Michener, and in decent shape. 3. My bonus book purchase was The Milepost (Alaska Travel Planner 2024) at a nice discount. This scope of this book extends into the Alaska Highway and beyond and serves as one of my "some day" books. 4. Nice and helpful store staff. 5. A slightly leaky air conditioner gave me a little refreshment coming in. :) 6. Credit cards accepted and via dial up!

Really have a grand time when I'm here…read more Love going to their in-store café. They have many, many tasty snacks [savory and sweet] and coffee drinks. The scenery and atmosphere in the café are very calm and soothing. Excellent lighting too, making for a great reading area. And now the rest of the store. The selection of books and magazines is impressive at this store. I love going down the aisles, taking books off the shelves and sampling them a little before making a decision. There are chairs out in case you want to sit and read for a while. It's wonderful that Barnes & Noble is still around, because I just love book stores. In our digital age, they sadly are practically becoming extinct. On to service, I have yet to have a bad experience with employees at this location. For value I'd say the prices aren't bad. They often have sales going on.

Firstly, did you know that when you return an online purchase, due to the negligence of Barnes & Noble, you do not get reimbursed for your shipping cost? So when you receive a book in bad condition, you only get reimbursed for the book. Secondly, the location of the store has become increasingly unpleasant to shop at... Thirdly, not overly impressive staff, friendliness, helpfulness, etc.. Makes me sad because it used to be a highlight to go shopping for a new book.
