I use to haunt this place day and night back in the days when I had my parents to mooch off…read moreof...(now that I'm having to pay my own bills and...you know...work)...I'm not so cozy with this place anymore....(this working thing is really putting a crimp into my lifestyle)...I still love this place its just that I now get most of my books off of Amazon.....I can't do Kindle...reading from it gives me a headache....I'm still old school.....There isn't much in ways of things I don't like about the store. Yes Amazon sells it for a lot less and the sections on Amazon can be better...but not always... For example if you're looking for hardcore literature Like Ann Radcliffe or Horace Walpole then Barnes and Noble is the place to go. Amazon has it as well but their selection is sketchy...they may not offer you the best edition out there. If you're looking for Business books then Amazon is a better option because I don't think this particular Barnes & Noble's business books selection is as good as it could be. On the other hand they have a pretty good manga and young adult selection....I imagine those books are more popular than say Originals by Adam Grant.....They had signed copies of John Green's latest Turtles All the Way Down....and even though I said I wasn't going to buy anything... I ended up taking home Haruki Murakami's book Absolutely on Music: Conversation with Seiji Ozawa. (Ozawa is my favorite living conductor so I couldn't resist even though Amazon has it for $4 dollars cheaper but I figured heck I want this and I want it now...) Anyway now a days when people chose books over all other forms of activities such as the internet, Facebook or even Yelp....it's always a good thing....

TL;DR - Abhorrent customer service, avoid if you can…read more Went this morning, and the following happened: 1.) Customer service lady at the check out area greeted folks behind me but ignored me. 2.) I was looking for a book and happened to ask another employee for help at the exact time that another elderly lady asked for help. I mentioned she could go first and was ignored by both. 3.) I went to the check out area for help, and while she was checking out, she was also speaking to another employee about random things like the Knick's game, being from New York, etc. etc. while I stood waiting to be helped. I walked around to waste time before returning after the cashier employee was finally free. She asked if I was ready to check out and I replied that I needed help with finding a book. She motioned towards the first employee I had asked help from, and I told her that he had been helping (and still was) an elderly lady for a while. She then told me that the other employee who was still talking to the customer about the Knicks could help. I stood around awkwardly while they continued to talk as it was obvious I was waiting for them to finish so I could ask a question (we were all standing about 5 feet from eachother). After standing for a few minutes, I was done. I returned the books I was ready to purchase back where they came from and proceeded towards the exit. At that point, the customer who had been talking to the employee about the Knicks was leaving, and the cashier lady grabbed the employee's attention by stating, "This young lady needed help with finding a book." I responded, "No, I don't need help, I'm done." and forcibly opened the door, walking out. I overheard the Knicks-obsesssed employee say "Oh my!" or something to that effect as I left. There are too many stores around here for me to pay money for being ignored. Go elsewhere, preferably independent.

Love this store. Great people there. vast selection of books and more…read more If you like reading as much as I do, you will love their store credit that they offer.

This is such a cute used bookstore. I am a HUGE fan of books- all books, so when I found this store…read moreI was in heaven. The name is true- the store is filled with walls of books. Different genres great for all ages. They also have puzzles and mystery books for purchase. I cannot wait to return!

Great place to buy required school reading, books your kids will only read once, and those older…read moreBOTM books that you wanted to add but didn't want to pay for. There's A LOT of them here! Overall the layout makes sense and it's easier for me to bring the kids here than pay full price at B&N down the street and the experience is pretty comparable. I also like that you can call them and ask that they hold a book for you- great for Moms running low on time who need to get a book for their kids school project or required reading (speaking from experience here). The only con I will mention is what others have mentioned as well. Don't come here with books to sell assuming you'll get a lot of money for them. Come here with the books you were going to donate anyways. I do wish they had a better trade in program.

Acworth bookstore is more than a bookstore...it's a community gathering place...I came by to check…read morethe place out because I had heard about it for a long time and ended up spending nearly 3 hours here! It's located in downtown Acworth in a building that can be dated back to the civil war...I believe parts of the building has been rebuilt but the ceiling I think is original... The bookstore covers mainly the civil war, WWI, WWII. The owner was very knowledge about not only the history of Acworth and Marietta but also has an encyclopedic knowledge of WWII...it was fun chatting with him. They carry lots of books and art works by local author...in fact when I was there I met one of the local artist who has several of his paintings hanging in the bookstore. They also feature locally roasted coffee in their cafe....very cool.

This place seemed a little sketchy from the outside; there was a messy cart of "free books" that…read moreseemed abandoned. Upon entry the place was well lit and buzzing with excitement for the author who was doing a signing. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize what it was at first, but there was so much animated conversation that I assumed it was a book club that was really enjoying themselves. It made the recovery from the free book cart mess easy to recover from. The staff was all super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to search for titles and authors I was looking for and were happy to add more books to my pile (*wink). The only downer was that the shelves had no obvious organization and it was hard to shop on your own. Nothing is labeled consistently and I couldn't tell where one section ended and another began. One section even had a pink sticky note with a hand-written label. The staff also didn't keep a proper inventory and half of books the computer said they had were no where to be found. Bottom line is that this place was welcoming and had good prices. They do not buy books but will offer in-store credit for books you no longer want. Check this place out.
