You can look for the Michaels and Sprouts and you'll be a hop, skip, and a jump from all the boooks! REVIEW: Bumping up to 4 starts because for the years and years I have been coming to BN, even before shut down, they are always fully stocked with books and other items. I love it here! I can easily spend 2 hours here perusing the aisles of all the goodness BN carries. (I just recently came for some Harry Potter merch and a planner for next year.) Service is not what it was once was, sadly. But I am old so I remember the good ole' days with fondness. Today, it's basic enough. Thankfully, one doesn't get screamed at across the store of "Welcome!" as it happens in other businesses. Most employees I saw were behind the registers when I was looking around. I did see one employee on the floor, but she was laser focused on something. Prices are on the higher side, thanks to the current state of the economy. However, I feel that the books and other items are of good enough quality to somewhat warrant the $. Be sure to check out upstairs. Also, just a thought, grab a snack or one of the Starb cookies on your way out. It's OK. It's good. It's books. It's BN. :)

Still a good publication when the investigative reports are well researched. They could get a pulitzer for investigating the dunes and all the injuries and environmental damage occurring there and the cover up by state parks admin. or the awful spending of funds at LMUSC by the administration, and on and on. There are many that could be written with a little more moxie. Get rid of Haley Thomas as food editor, her sophomoric writing on food and wine is a joke. Have a competent food writer that actually writes on how the food and wine tastes instead of cutesy pseudo-millennial BS.
