Finally! Blacksburg has a bookstore!…read more This place is adorable and had so many different genres and books. They have sections for fiction, non-fiction, young adults, cooking, new arrivals, local authors, and more. I like how they offer both used and new books at affordable prices. In addition to books they have all the book accessories you could think of- bookmarks, notebooks, stickers, and more. It doesn't stop with with just books they have treats from local sweetshops, handmade candles, and handmade body scrubs. The lady who runs the store is adorable too. Opening this store has been her dream since moving to Blacksburg and she did it so well. I can't wait to spend more time walking around the store finding new reads and chatting with her.

Please support your bookstore!! I live in a country that has no bookstore. There are a couple of…read moreshops in the resort towns that sell books abandoned by travellers or people moving out of the country, but no bookstore. So I was absolutely thrilled to be in this one during a recent visit stateside. On 9 Sept, I spent hours inspecting every inch of every shelf... I even forgot to have lunch. Despite my "loitering" no one followed or questioned me (yes, it has happened that I've been surveilled in a bookstore after the first hour of shopping). I had a few questions about the location of certain items. The store manager, Clayton Richmond, came to my aid and had a few recommendations even. I appreciated his time and attention as it was very helpful. The two women at checkout were also incredibly and genuinely friendly and helpful. I think is also a reflection of Mr Richmond's management as well as the work ethic and disposition of the women themselves. This would be my favorite happy place if I lived in Roanoke. Thank you for a great visit.

B&N in Valley View (Roanoke, VA) has to have the worst customer service on the planet. Teresa, the…read moreManager, is the rudest woman I have ever spoken to. The night before we reserved a book at end of the day. My husband drove 2.5 hours to pick the book up when they opened and they sold it out from under us. This was for a little girl and now we have to tell her that this store didn't abide by their policies and sold it to some man whose hold had expired the night before. Teresa was yelling, rude and was blaming us!! Teresa has no business training staff or having any contact with anyone from the outside world. She's a terrible human being!

I came away with a book that if purchased new would have cost much more. So if you are tired of all the "technology" and want to get back to the enjoyment of going on the "hunt' for that certain book you can enjoy by a sunlit window or cozy fire this is the place to go.

A few months ago we stopped by B&D to get a few comics for a road trip we were taking. Our nine…read moreyear old had been watching Miles Morales over the summer, and I wanted to prompt him to read more and watch less. We walked in and were warmly welcomed by everyone there, including other customers. I even picked up a Green Arrow and G.I. Joe for myself. Now we are frequent visitors and greeted by name as we walk in and have pull lists of current series that we are reading. While my son is learning about different characters that he's interested in, I've delved into the realm of Key Comic Collecting. What I've found here is their absolute desire to help every one of their customers feel welcome, validated in their style of collecting and appreciated for the time spent within those four walls. All in all I would say that when I open my wallet at B & D, the value in the book I'm purchasing is increased by the relationship we have with the B&D team. Happy Reading, Rob & Robert

Loved the books I found--even happened to dig up one by my favorite author! Granted, he's an oldie,…read moreso I guess that makes sense given the selection. Walked out with a classic, too, all for under ten bucks!... The selection is supposedly extensive, however the selection on display was kind of outdated and appeared that it had not been changed out in awhile. Also, I would recommend you bring cash. I wish the owner would set up a Cash App or Venmo account for those of us who don't carry a lot of bills. She'd make a LOT more dough from all of the college students that wander her way! Every restroom was busted, which was irritating, so we had to venture across the street to the antique store. Pee before you go, I guess. Overall, left a little creeped out but the books I found have been great.

I went into the store this evening to pick up a copy of Winning Moves Risk 1959 Edition. I called…read moreahead to inquire about it, I asked if they price matched and the lady said yes. So I arrived and picked it up, took it to the desk and the lady said she needed to get approval for the price match. I looked up the listing from walmart to show her the listed price. She said that the price, including the shipping, has to be lower than their price. The listing says "Free pickup, Fri October 11th." She took a picture of the listing, including the shipping details and sends them in a message to her store manager, no reply. She called the manager, no answer. Time is burning. She messaged the store owner, no reply. She called the owner, no answer. We are now at 20 minutes of waiting. I figured "It would be a shame to leave empty handed, i mean after all Ive waited this long." She keeps messaging and calling until finally she gets through to someone, but they hang up on her. Finally, 30 minutes after I arrived, she makes contact with someone that can approve the discount. She is than told the manager has to confirm the price and is hung up on. So we wait even longer. Finally she gets a call, they wont match the price because walmart's free shipping is only if I spend $35. Walmart clearly ships this item to the store for free. The lady at the store was very nice. I cannot recommend her more highly. The manager of the store was both unprofessional and demeaning in the way he/she treated the customer and the lady at the counter. Later in the evening the owner called me to apologize and offered to deliver it to my himself.
