The Mr. and I stopped in to browse, hoping to find a few titles by Donald Goines, and ended up flipping through some great historical books about local cities. We didn't buy anything this time, but it was still a really lovely visit. The atmosphere was quiet, cozy, and inviting -- exactly what you'd hope for in a bookstore. And the staff? Kind, helpful, and present without being intrusive. Whether you're looking to pick up something specific or just want to get lost among the shelves for a bit, this B&N is a great place to spend a calm afternoon.

Usually they wait until the day after Christmas to do this. Boxed Christmas cards were buy one get one free, which is pretty much the same thing. While they didn't have the planner I typically get, you can't beat a $7.00 deal for sure!

What a cute little shop with over 200 vendors! We came during an event and there was a woman with…read moretaste testing for her jams with crackers. She also had meatballs too. It was only $9. There was tons of different crafts and things to look at. We went to the top section of the floor and we saw that they had a craft class going on.

This is such a fun place to shop and to take classes at. It is fairly easy to find and there is a…read moreton of parking. I have taken 4 different classes here. All of the possible classes are listed in their website. I would be hard to pick a favorite class. Each of the classes is taught by a different artist or expert in that class. There are 2 different areas where the classes are taught one in the back and one in the middle section. The website has a description of each class that is offered as well as the requirements that you need to bring for the class. The ability to walk out with a project that you learned how to make is priceless. I highly recommend going to a class at My New Favorite Thing or just going shopping. Local artists each get a section to display. I will be going back for more projects.

The only reason this place has such low ratings is because the owner is targeted for not adhering…read moreto particular political ideologies. If that doesn't deter you then coming here, as a book lover, researcher, or anyone involved in intellectual or literate pursuits, is one of the best decisions you could possibly make. This is a real bookshop. It's a relic from what you would have had easy access to in the 20th century and prior and that (sadly for our species) barely exists any longer. You're more likely to walk out with a first edition of some esoteric and forgotten knowledge than whatever you planned on finding when you walked in. You could spend hours just glancing through one row of shelves and still not even catch half of it. The books here are high quality, ranging from contemporary titles to 19th century (and probably beyond) originals. There's a bit of everything, from history and archaeology, to religion and spirituality, to music and cars, to novels and poetry, to travel and hobbies, to social matters and Jewish interests. If you like books, knowledge, or anything that could be found in a written text, you'll find it here. Apparently people dislike the owner. I have no idea why. He's brief, witty, and competent. Are people so accustomed to the fake smiles and creepy stalking you'd get at a Barnes & Noble that they've actually convinced themselves that this is real life? Or even desirable in any way? You won't find a retail worker pretending to like you in hopes of keeping a job or getting a tip here. Just a real man with a real mission and amenity.

It would have been one thing to just ask me to dust them or maybe just sarcastically ribbed me about it a little, but he was genuinely bitter about it! "Why clean them when you can just dump them on me?" he said. Like okay, I'm not perfect and didn't realize quite how dusty these old books are, but at the same time, maintaining the physical condition of books is part of YOUR job, my guy. I didn't need that crappy attitude. Hopefully one of the books I gave him has termites in them or something. Go somewhere else!

Books. Books. Books…read more I'm slowly getting my momentum back when it comes to reading, and it was time I put a dent into my wishlist. I came here the other day specifically for Pete Souza's new book, which is hysterical and amusing after only three pages. I would've saved around 10 bucks had I ordered online, but I couldn't wait 3-5 days. The employees don't seem too high strung, and seem very eager to help you out, which is great because it can be annoying when it's obviously that you need help, yet staff just walks by you. When I initially entered the store the first thing to catch my eye was a mug. I end up picking it up, only to add to the 40+ mugs I already have and don't really need. In addition to mugs they're tons of gadgets, cards, keychains, ect... This store almost feels like a an outlet Barnes and Nobles meets Borders. Plan on return to do some Christmas shopping for friends/family who also loves books.

And the online ordering/pickup system was so easy. Plus there are multiple small stores to stop in that shopping center - TJ maxx, hallmark, better health, an ACE hardware - so then I can pop in multiple spots!

This place is such a fun mix of quirky and quiet, with just the right energy to browse at your own pace. I found two Danielle Steele books, a cute bookmark, and the most adorable jelly belly keychain (yes, it actually has jelly beans inside -- Grandma's favorite!). The staff was polite and helpful, and as always, the merch selection didn't disappoint. I love checking out the mini guitars, comics, and all the unique fiction picks they stock. There's just something about this store that keeps you coming back, even when you're "just looking." Highly recommend if you're in the area -- especially if you're gift-hunting or just want to spend a little time among books, fandom finds, and cool surprises all while being economical!

They advertise far lower prices which really makes no sense. A retailer sold it to them, they have to mark-up the price to turn a profit. Not much room to lower the price for us. The highlight of this visit was listening to one of the associates bitch about having to assist a customer. "Why don't you call one of the other three people in the store, I've been here since 5:00am and I'm tired." It's only 1:30 in the afternoon. Are you serious? Maybe Ollie is working these boys too hard? Another oddity. A relief cashier came up and rang up one customer to relieve a long line. Then walked away as we approached his check out. There were still three people behind us! The other ladies seem nice and the store does have an incredibly huge selection. I will admit that on occasion, you'll catch a rare, but great find at a decent price. 07/25
