I popped into Nooks before brunch in Lancaster this past Sunday. It's a deceptively large…read moreindependent bookstore - you have to walk through the children's rooms to get to the largest room with adult books (and their bathroom). Despite being a larger bookstore, I wouldn't say it's the best stocked. There is definitely room for more shelves and more books, but as they have laid it out, it's a very spacious shop with plenty of seating. You can sit at a table and chairs or an armchair in the back room upstairs, and there's cute seating for kids or families in the children's book rooms. But not having as much shelving does mean that they didn't have several books and authors I was looking for. If I lived locally, I'm sure they order books that they don't have in stock! Overall, a cute if not very well-stocked independent bookstore with friendly customer service.

This is my bookstore of choice at West Chester University, where I'm currently taking classes. The…read morestore is very big, so they not only have all of the textbooks required for all classes at the university, but they also have a great selection of West Chester clothes as well. While the store is expensive, they offer a rewards program where you can earn a store credit once you accrue a certain number of points. You also have options when it comes to ordering you books. They list the books for each class online, so you do have the option to shop elsewhere, but when convenience is key, they can have your books ready and waiting for you to pick up in-store or have them shipped to you directly. You can also go into the store and pick out your books on your own. The layout of the books is by class and that can be a little confusing, but they always have a ton of staff available to assist you. Their returns and buyback processes are well run and efficient. They are also very clear and up front about the deadline for returning textbooks, so there isn't any confusion about when a book needs to be back by if you decide you don't need it for a class. There are certainly a lot of options when it comes to buying your books, but it's good to know that if you need a textbook quickly, you have a convenient, well run store right on campus.

My boyfriend and I have passed this place many times without stopping in. Yesterday we decided to…read morestop in and look around. Turned out to be an extremely bad experience. We really liked a cabinet the shop had in the front and decided to purchase it. We thought it was small enough to fit in the car but should have really measured it beforehand. My boyfriend went in and paid cash for the furniture since the place doesn't accept any other form of payment. When we realized the cabinet was not going to fit we put the piece back where we found it and returned inside to talk to the owner. He flat out refused to give us our money back because he stated he already recorded the sale in his books. He said he had no way of knowing if we left and switched the cabinet out with another piece in the 3 minutes we were outside. I stressed that he was fully aware we never left the store premises, but it became pretty clear quickly that he was going to make a sale even if he had to steal from us to do it. When we stated we were going to call the authorities it was only then he offered to buy the item back from us to avoid the police presence. To be a nice guy he was going to buy the item back at less than we just paid him 5 minutes earlier. He stated he needed to charge us a restocking fee for the item we put back ourselves. He then insisted he write up a receipt stating how satisfied with the arrangement we were or we would not have gotten any of our money back. I realize as a business owner you have the right to decide if you will offer a refund, and with the small post card stating "all sales are final" in the front of the counter he legally didn't have to. It is not like we left and came back 2 days later wanting our money back. The Item never left his store. After I was practically forced to sign this receipt he pulls out a wad of cash from his pocket and hands me the money he had decided to return to us. All of this while trying to tell me how long he's been in business there, as if that is some sort of justification for his crooked behavior. We will never shop or stop at this place again. It doesn't cost a dime to be a decent human being, a quality this particular business owner clearly does not possess.

It's not super easy to access and it doesn't face the street which makes it a bit hard to see. I do love - although I didn't try it myself - the coffee truck out front ! That's such a great touch. The space was large but not overwhelming. There were not really distinct "departments" but rather multiple stylized vignettes, each containing large groupings of the product to purchase. Overall I didn't think most of the prices were too bad, mostly just the furniture seemed expensive to me, but I haven't had to buy furniture myself so maybe it's a good price. This is definitely a fun place to browse, the smell was divine and the workers were also really nice, at leas whom we interacted with. I would love to go back especially when they have an event.
