The owner told me she made them from recycled cabinets- so creative! The store has a huge mystery, horror, and romance sections. There are some smaller self-help, history, sports, and biography sections. There is also a great clearance section with some blind reads near the front door. I also recommend you checkout the selections of bookmarks and stickers near the cashier. The bookmarks are made by local artists. The Book Store is a must visit for book lovers in the area and there are lots of cool eateries and pubs nearby too.

We've been building our vinyl collection for a few years now, and Mr. R mentioned one weekend he…read morewished there was a vinyl store near Waushara County. I poked around on Yelp and found Eroding Winds, so we ventured out to see if it was a thing. The Yelp presence in the area can be hit or miss. There are places listed on Yelp that don't exist, and lots of places not listed at all. Sure, we could pick up the phone and try calling to see if someplace exists, and while that can be hit or miss as well, we're the kind of people who are fine with the journey, even if the destination turns out to be a bust. Eroding Winds was indeed open on a Saturday, and we ended up buying 7-10 used albums. They had a wide selection of new and used albums, and on the floor were also collections of discount albums, even as low as $2. The cheaper records might not be in pristine shape, which makes sense, but for $2, we were willing to gamble on some! They also signed us up for some sort of loyalty program where you get an average of the amount you've spent back on a future purchase. We'll be back.

Mostly rock/pop and metal, with some smaller but healthy hip hop, jazz, and country sections. We found a couple great soundtracks here too. There are some CDs and cassettes as well and their merch is pretty sick. Staff were great as well and threw some free stickers into our order. Great place!

Editor is nasty. We kept getting this magazine as one of those mass mailings sent to every…read morehousehold and did not want to receive it. I tried calling the subscription person listed in the magazine, but she did not return my call. Then I contacted the editor, who said I should just drop it off at our local hospital (they already get it) or give it to someone. When I explained that I did not subscribe to the magazine and felt I should not have to take it anywhere even out with the recycle, she still didn't get it. Finally, I said if I received one more copy, I would file harassment charges, as it met the criteria - it was unsolicited, unwanted, and repeated. At that point she became very nasty to me. I don't understand why they can't just maintain a subscription list like other magazines do. What kind of magazine has to force itself into the homes of people?

This review is for the Starbucks cafe inside of Barnes & Noble. While the young staff of the cafe…read morewas pleasant, I was met with a very condescending & rude employee that I can only describe as female, mid-50s, heavy set with glasses + salt & pepper hair. And this was after I had already spent nearly $14 in the cafe on a sandwich, dessert item, and triple expresso. The only reason why I stopped at B&N in the first place was that I didn't want the nearby KwikTrip coffee, nor did I want to drive a few miles into downtown Appleton on this day. I was fatigued, and needed a good caffeine burst right away. Enter Starbucks cafe inside of B&N, which was the nearest venue close to my hotel next to the Fox River Mall. After ordering my food items and required triple expresso (my gold standard) from an incredibly polite twenty-something college female barista, I get this sneer from Ms. Grumpy Dumpy from her table as she was apparently on her break. I smile, of which she never changes her expression. It was as if I had ran over her dog or something with the look she was giving me. I wanted to ask the friendly barista "WTF is wrong with Mount Rushmore over there?" I thought nothing of it at further, so I didn't make it an issue. A few minutes later, the second barista (twenty-something male) indicated that my food order as ready, I waited patiently as my drink order was being prepared by barista #1. Ms. Large Marge decides to end her break, walk over to the counter to assert her authority. Without even looking at me, she picks up my coffee, and says "Here you go", then proceeds to nearly throw it onto the counter. Sort of stunned, I'm thinking "What in thee hayle just happened?" I wasn't in the mood to make this an issue, since I was tired. In addition, the two younger baristas were in stark contrast to their manager, considering how pleasant they were to me. As I start walking away toward the exit of B&N while shaking my head in disgust, I overhear the rude manager say "Next time, don't give him so much expresso." I so wanted to tell her that I had a triple expresso, and that if she had paid attention in 3rd grade math class, the volume of three expresso shots would be a larger quantity than one traditional expresso shot. Altogether, this experience motivated me to seek out better coffee venues in Appleton, mainly downtown and close to Lawrence University. Thanks to the awful attitude that I experienced from the Starbucks cafe manager inside of this B&N, I'll certainly never return to the cafe again no matter how bad my caffeine urges are. This manager is definitely not management material. If you don't like your job, fine. Don't take out your job frustrations on the consumer.

They also currently have an amazing collection of Pops for sale but that wont be up for long. The staff is also very knowledgeable and friendly. They take part in Free Comic Book day every May. If you are looking for a place to get comic books and collectibles you should make it House of Heroes.
