Huge store with all types of used and new books. I only had time to look in the children's section…read morewhich was huge and decently organized by categories such as (sensory/cause and effect, holidays, popular authors, language, potty training, family). You could spend a good chunk of time browsing through the bins and shelves. It is great that they have a train table in the kids area so they kids can play while you browse the books. I was searching for Lunar New Year books, but couldn't find any. They had a bin for the big holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and a general holiday bin for smaller holidays. The employees were nice and can system search by author/title, but they couldn't do a search by general topic/genre.

The Used Book Superstore in Burlington is my personal money pit -- and honestly, I'm fine with it…read more I've never managed to leave with fewer than ten books, and at this point, I don't even pretend I will. The selection feels endless. Every genre, every niche, and then, just when you think you've seen it all, there's a wall of Blu-rays, DVDs, video games, board games, and random bits of memorabilia you didn't know you wanted until they're already in your basket. The prices are almost insulting to other stores. Seriously, I've paid more for a cup of coffee than I have for some of the books here. You'd almost feel guilty... except you don't, because you're too busy carrying out a stack taller than your torso. The staff is excellent -- actually helpful, not the fake "let me know if you need anything" kind. They've tracked down what I came in looking for, and then somehow convinced me to walk out with three more titles I didn't even know existed. My shelves at home are groaning under the weight of their recommendations, but sure, suggest me another series. Why not. I've been a regular for about a year now, and as long as I live in Massachusetts, this will be one of the few places I actually look forward to throwing money at. You never know what you'll find here, which is exactly why I keep coming back.

I wanted a particular CD and they searched all over the country for it, without success. However, I…read morediscovered they have regular vinyl & CD shows every couple of months where there are thousands of mostly used selections of good recordings available at good prices. I have found many out-of-print and classic recordings there at the many different booths. The different vendors at these shows even offer some discounts occasionally. The shows are two or three months apart. Sign up for email notice of when they occur. In their Randolph store they stock thousands of records and CDs and you can browse for hours, if you want to--no pressure. For any oldies lover, this is the place to go. They have movies, too.

So many Karens reviewing this place ... sheesh! To address the elephant in the room, yes ... this…read moreplace is expensive and maybe a bit overpriced. However, just like if you went to any specialty store ... you are going to pay more for the curating of inventory, the satisfaction of the instant gratification of a purchase and also the overhead. Too many people expect the world of brick and mortar to conform to Amazon prices these days which is just not fair to small shop owners. That being said, this place is about 20% more expensive than other record stores I've been to ... but their selection is 40% better. This place has new and used vinyl ... rare stuff, obscure stuff, weird stuff. And it's all in pretty good shape. I was a bit put off by the fact they don't use the Mint, NM, VG, Good, etc. standard rating system ... and they don't let you visually inspect the actual records until you bring them to the counter. However despite small labels which say 'fine' ... 'plays well' ... 'clean copy' ... 'super clean' ... 'good' I'd rather the known grading scale. The owner told me all records were play tested, cleaned and passed his standard for listenability. That's a heck of a better deal than you'll find on EBay even for graded records, which are often visually inspected. The selection here is great and you can tell it's owned by a music lover vs. someone who just happens to own a shop. The jazz and blues section are particularly well stocked and the new records have many limited editions. One bummer is that they have only a small bargain section where used records in what I'd call VG- or Good condition are $2.50 - $8. I bought 4 bargain records here and two were unplayable ... one was very warped at the edges and the other skipped in several places. It was only $10 for these records but I had to throw 2 of them out. I'd advise to skip the bargain bins. You'll not find much for under $15-$20 in the regular store but the quality is true and tested there. They have some older equipment and turntables and tons of framed concert posters from the 1960's and autographs on the walls which is all for sale. It's fun walking around as it's almost like a hard rock cafe. The other rooms contain a huge selection of incense, hippie clothes, Eastern decor and typical 'head shop' type stuff. The clientele ranged from high school students buying posters and 'tobacco pipes' to older folks looking to pick up some vinyl. The store is pretty close quarters as an old Victorian house converted to a store but its cool just to walk around and channel the 1960's. Don't come here hoping to bargain shop in search of vinyl. However, the selection and love of music that went into collecting all of this to sell is impressive. The owners are a bit salty but I'm sure that has to do with putting up with a lot of high school kids, stoners and tourist types and price complainers over the years. If you are in the Cape and like vinyl or the 1960's, it's a fun stop to make.

When I happened upon the Barnes & Noble at Derby St Shops, I came to realize that I had somehow been mentally convinced that there were no more open locations. So this was a pleasant surprise! Nice and spacious with a well decorated children's area and a Starbucks on the right. Stop on by and peruse some books!

As book stores close everywhere around and people are sad maybe the CEOs should visit the stores…read moreand see the problems. I have a kindle but went to Barnes and Noble for a book for a gift and was also shopping around. The person in the middle that helps you look up books was very helpful. However that's where it ended. We went to the cafe and I know it's Starbucks not Barnes and Noble but the people working there were very rude to us. They gave us moldy food we had to return no apology. Then when we went to check out at Barnes and Noble we couldn't remember the number for our rewards and the woman checking us out said snarkily "oh now we are onto the 3rd number" then when we went to give the other number she goes "wait a minute wait a minute" like yelling at us.....safe to say we will stick to our kindles and go elsewhere for gifts which sucks! But like I said if anyone is wondering why places are closing it's customer service related!

Ehh... This is bordering on two stars…read more.. My only experience with this Newbury Comics thus far was for Record Store Day 2016 (Black Friday). I called ahead to find out if they had the album that I was searching for, and was basically told "I don't really know." Surely they have some kind of computerized catalog (a la Barnes and Noble) which they can search for a product? He said he went and "looked" in the RSD area, and didn't see the album there. Seeing as I didn't trust this dude who took all of 3 minutes to tell me this very hot record was not in his store, I drove myself to Kingston to check with my own two eyes. A lot of times, things get shuffled about, especially on a busy shopping day like Black Friday. Searching through a computerized inventory could have easily told me if there was any showing as in-stock, even if it wasn't in its correct place. Arriving at the mall-based location, I quickly found Newbury Comics and set about finding out if they carried the record in question. Another employee at the desk (not the one I talked to), came over to show me the same album in CD format, but when pressed, said they had not received the vinyl format at all. Well, that solves that question. It was an in-and-out stop that could have been avoided altogether if there was a better way to check what is and what is not in stock. There's other Newbury Comics in the South Shore that seem to have a better grip on their inventory and might be a little more helpful when searching for something specific. Still, a great option if you're localand just needing a business to regularly purchase music, comics, pop-culture memorabilia/collectibles, and goofy gag stuff a la Spencers.

Such a cool throwback music store…read more This small shop is located next to the County Kitchen that I'm a regular at and consistently going to just to get Matthew A off his Duke Ship here. The owner is named Jeff he's super laid back and a reminders me of a OH (original hipster- just made that up but as a gift to you I will let you use it-Your Welcome) not that new age hipsters that are taking over Brooklyn faster then that mice on a NYC subway station. This shop has all your favorite music that has inspired the vast majority if not all of the current music your hearing today. Jeff opened this store over 30 years ago and is a music genius himself. This shop is packed floor to ceiling with very cool Atracks, Vinyls, Tape Cassettes, CDs of all oldie but goodies. Music is a passion for some people and you can feel that this store is filled with not just music items but packed with Love. You can see that like this name of this shop music is in Jeff's DNA I'm not a music person. I love music but hated my grade school musical teacher so that were I being to dislike music. I respect people who do have musical talents as I don't have any. It's a cool great place to come and get inspired. I'm sure if your a music person Jeff will gladly talk about all that.
