I love it in here…read more The shelves are filled, they are stacked on the floor, there's never enough time to look through them all. It feels so cozy to be surrounded by books. And the kids room in the back is so cute, there are toys that my daughter loves to come play with and you honestly can't beat the prices. The kids books are typically between about $2-$4 and they have a lot of good options!!

Located near the famous Mookies in the Greenfield and 10 and a half strip mall…read more Inside is a crowded and frankly wrecked-looking bookstore. Rather than a good filing system, books are more or less grouped. Prices are much too high, both for new and for older used books. The selection also tends far left and revolutionary, which fits as they were playing some loud zephyr music for my visit. The staff was also unfriendly, more interested in their conversation than customers. I strongly advise going to either King Books Detroit, or King North, instead. Unless you have a taste for far left books and spending a long time hunting for books than interest you.

The space is clean, well-organized, and somehow manages to feel calm even when it's busy. The staff really stands out here. Every time I've needed help, someone was genuinely friendly and actually knowledgeable (not just pointing vaguely in the direction of a shelf). Whether you're looking for a specific title or just browsing for something new, they're happy to help without hovering. The selection is excellent--books, journals, gifts, and that dangerous section where you go in for one thing and leave with five. It's also a great place to just exist for a while: grab a coffee, flip through a book, and unplug from the world. In a time when so many bookstores are disappearing, this Barnes & Noble feels like a reminder of why they matter. Reliable, welcoming, and always worth the visit. Barnes & Noble offers great value, especially for the quality and variety you get. Whether you're buying books, magazines, journals, or gifts, it always feels like your money is well spent. The prices are fair, and between deals, memberships, and discounts, it's easy to walk out with more than you planned in the best way. Beyond the value, the store itself is clean, organized, and easy to browse. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making it a great place to take your time and really enjoy the experience. The staff is helpful and friendly, adding to the overall positive vibe. Barnes & Noble continues to be a reliable go-to and a place that delivers quality and value every time.

I've loved this bookstore forever it seems. I loved buying newspapers from England and have…read morecollected them since I was a young teen. I just love their variety of topics, and I always find something I "just" had to buy! Another big plus for me is that all the staff knows exactly where whatever topic I'm looking for is located. I've never been treated rudely for the entirety at this location. I also find their books easy to afford and not up-pricing. It helps on a budget for even the new arrivals of all my favorite horror authors, King, McCammon, Patterson, Saul, etc.

They had them ready and waiting for me the following afternoon. Store is clean and well organized. And the employee at the front desk was very friendly - seemed very nice when checking out the couple in front of me and when some people walked into the store after me. I'll definitely go back. And the online ordering/pickup system was so easy. Plus there are multiple small stores to stop in that shopping center - TJ maxx, hallmark, better health, an ACE hardware - so then I can pop in multiple spots!

Books. Books. Books…read more I'm slowly getting my momentum back when it comes to reading, and it was time I put a dent into my wishlist. I came here the other day specifically for Pete Souza's new book, which is hysterical and amusing after only three pages. I would've saved around 10 bucks had I ordered online, but I couldn't wait 3-5 days. The employees don't seem too high strung, and seem very eager to help you out, which is great because it can be annoying when it's obviously that you need help, yet staff just walks by you. When I initially entered the store the first thing to catch my eye was a mug. I end up picking it up, only to add to the 40+ mugs I already have and don't really need. In addition to mugs they're tons of gadgets, cards, keychains, ect... This store almost feels like a an outlet Barnes and Nobles meets Borders. Plan on return to do some Christmas shopping for friends/family who also loves books.

So rude. I went in and spoke with David on three separate occasions about selling him books. He was…read moreOK. But then when I brought the books in and was talking to him about them, he turned from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Couldn't understand it. Just rude and snotty and short. I guess there's other bookstores open. I'll go to those. Incredibly disappointed. A real tool.

The only reason this place has such low ratings is because the owner is targeted for not adhering…read moreto particular political ideologies. If that doesn't deter you then coming here, as a book lover, researcher, or anyone involved in intellectual or literate pursuits, is one of the best decisions you could possibly make. This is a real bookshop. It's a relic from what you would have had easy access to in the 20th century and prior and that (sadly for our species) barely exists any longer. You're more likely to walk out with a first edition of some esoteric and forgotten knowledge than whatever you planned on finding when you walked in. You could spend hours just glancing through one row of shelves and still not even catch half of it. The books here are high quality, ranging from contemporary titles to 19th century (and probably beyond) originals. There's a bit of everything, from history and archaeology, to religion and spirituality, to music and cars, to novels and poetry, to travel and hobbies, to social matters and Jewish interests. If you like books, knowledge, or anything that could be found in a written text, you'll find it here. Apparently people dislike the owner. I have no idea why. He's brief, witty, and competent. Are people so accustomed to the fake smiles and creepy stalking you'd get at a Barnes & Noble that they've actually convinced themselves that this is real life? Or even desirable in any way? You won't find a retail worker pretending to like you in hopes of keeping a job or getting a tip here. Just a real man with a real mission and amenity.
