Great selection of older and contemporary books as well as fun offerings of blind dates with books. I also love their local authors support and see planets of more things to explore. Will be back and make it a regular stop. Would recommend to anyone who loves reading or those that are looking for something for the bookworm in their life.

This place is a little step back into another time. It reminds me of certain bookstores in San…read moreFrancisco, Berkeley, and Oakland from the 90's. They just don't have too many bookstores left like this one. As the name suggests, you can bring your gently used books in and they will keep a record of them, and you will receive a discount of roughly half off of whatever you decide to buy in exchange for bringing in your old books. This turns out to be a great value considering the good condition and broad variety of the books that they carry. We can always find something good to read, and the price is definitely always easy on the pocketbook. The lovely people who work here are very well informed. I was looking for a classic by Pearl S Buck, and she knew exactly where it was located in the store. I have confidence in these guys, and I know that I can check with them before I go look elsewhere. A must see for any avid reader or bibliophile.

She never called anyone for backup even, like first thing you should do when there's a bunch of people in line. Then she didn't enter my phone number right for the rewards, and said I didn't have one. I know I do lol, I get emails and am logged into it in the app. So she tried email but typed that incorrectly too. Nope, you don't have an acct sir. OK here let me as the customer get out my phone, open the app, find my rewards section, and pull up the literal barcode for her to scan. Oh gee you do have one! Wow! Then she put some of my products into the tiniest bag possible and said some of them didn't fit and just stacked them to the side. I went oh do you think you have a larger bag maybe. She said oh yes we do. Whattttt how slow are you today that the customer did all the work and had to literally suggest to you that more items means a bigger bag. I just laughed my way out and prob won't be back anytime soon if the customer service is that braindead...

I had ordered a book for a former student who is now graduating from a nearby university with her…read moreadvanced degree. I asked my AI assistant what would be a suitable gift for her. As her major was psychology, he suggested a seminal book that she might like. So, I went on Amazon and ordered it in hardcover. They promptly shipped it in paperback. I returned it and reordered the hardbound. Again, they shipped me a paperback and, just for good measure, refused to publish my truthful review (which Amazon asked for in the first place) as I am not allowed to say anything that might reflect badly on a seller. So, I ordered it from Barnes and Noble in Modesto. Not only was it the edition I wanted, it was ready in minutes and good value for the price. When I stopped by to pick it up, the clerk was cheerful, helpful, and an all-around good ambassador for the B&N brand. I had forgotten how good these folks are. Amazon lost a book buyer and reviewer. Barnes and Noble Modesto gained both.

You know what, we usually have a great experience here. The women that work here have always been…read moreso helpful and so kind. But today it was unfortunately a bad experience. Everyone was kind except for one of the women working today. I couldn't get her name because she had a lot of charms on her lanyard, but she had black green highlighted hair, bangs and glasses on. We simply asked for help and was given a lot of sarcasm. Making it very obvious she did not want to be in that shift. It was my friends birthday and she was already not having the best day. I get it, we all have bad days but at the same time, it doesn't mean it's okay to spread hate towards others. With everything going on in the world that's the least we could do for each other. Thanks.
