Gone are the tattered towers and trifling tchotchkes, now transformed into a perusable print palace focused on rare/antique offerings. Apparently the owner was formerly with an extremely well-known auction house, and he possesses a vast wealth of knowledge on the subject matter. Well worth the trip for collectors and bookworms alike.

This is a tiny shop but filled with little treasures of new debuts (the intruder by Fridea McFadden is one that caught my eye) to the nostalgic classics (the entire HP series is there). I didn't spend as much time as I would've like but the bookstore is very cozy and the man who greeted us was kind and helpful. I will be sure to come back next time I'm in town!

They both called and texted to let me know it had arrived. The service is extremely helpful. Nestled among some charming boutiques, restaurants, and specialty shops, Bronx River Books offers a good range of classic, contemporary, and local authors. It is well-stocked besides neatly organized and stacked. It has easily become one of my favorites stops when in town.

It's like stepping into a different universe where the best masterpieces written or translated to English are waiting for you to be discovered. I always encounter all my favorite authors and know I'm in good company and can trust to find the next amazing read. The last one was a treasured discovery for my daughter a book on art thats whimsical but also very well researched n put together. I discovered many new and exciting authors there like Yaa Gyasi "Homegoing" and Imbolo Mbue "Behold the Dreamers" and Ngugi Wa Thiong'o "Wizard of the Crow". As well as my all time favorites Gary Shteyngart, Zadie Smith, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Viet Thahn Nguyen. Hope this place stays around so we have to remain patrons to help them!!!

Good overall location…read more Don't let the outside throw you off - it looks small from the outside, but once you head down with either an escalator or an elevator, you can see the full size of this location. You can also access this from the side of the building down a flight of stairs. This one was busier than other locations I went to, though this was also on a weekend which might explain it. It's standard as far as what Barnes & Noble generally carries. What they don't have, they can always order for you. If you're looking for blu ray/DVDs, you won't find any here at all - which is a bit disappointing. They do have vinyl though. Only had interaction with one employee and he was friendly. Most others I saw were with customers. Located in the Vernon Hills Shopping Center mall, there is plenty of parking. It's a generally busy shopping area, so use caution in the lot. A good location, but I don't see myself coming back here unless I'm in the immediate area and need to.

Shout out to Diane for helping me find the Splat the Cat books that my son loves so much. This one even has a Barnes and Noble Cafe inside where you can sit and eat.

I'd been in some time ago but don't remember the selection this good. Nice mix of new and well-priced used. Example, I paid under $10 for a Promo copy of Elvis Costello Blood and Chocolate in very nice, VG+/E condition. Good Jazz selections as well. They also had a nice selection of bootlegs which you don't see very often. They sell books and clothing which for me usually means it's not a serious store, but Main Steet Beat is the exception. Great staff well laid out and popular, the store has a nice vibe plus Nyack is a fun town to visit with great restaurants and a rich history.
