Cutest bookstore ever! I had to stop by The Book Store when visiting Kaukauna…read more There are a variety of sections labeled with the best signage. The owner told me she made them from recycled cabinets- so creative! The store has a huge mystery, horror, and romance sections. There are some smaller self-help, history, sports, and biography sections. There is also a great clearance section with some blind reads near the front door. I also recommend you checkout the selections of bookmarks and stickers near the cashier. The bookmarks are made by local artists. The Book Store is a must visit for book lovers in the area and there are lots of cool eateries and pubs nearby too.

The cashier was very welcoming and clearly loved books from the conversations I overheard him having with customers. It took us a bit to figure out where the book's price was listed. They stamp it inside the book (usually within the first 5 pages) along with a date. I personally don't like when a bookstore writes the price using a permanent method. However, I know other people feel like it shows the book's life journey and appreciate seeing where a book came from.

I'd give negative stars if I could. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. Amy Butterfield is a scammer and…read morea thief. You might see some negative reviews before she deletes them. I almost had to take legal action against this woman. Do not buy from her, donate your books, or work for her. I almost didn't receive my tax forms after working for her for 5 months and making a couple thousand dollars. She is running a shady business, stealing books from online booksellers, refunding her money because the books are "damaged", and selling them for much more than they are worth. She also rounded my paychecks and never fully paid me back. She was lucky she sent me my W2 by the deadline or I would have taken legal action. I was never on a payroll allegedly, even though I was legally a paid employee. Yikes, where's the IRS when you need them? She admitted to doing the same to all previous employees. This business needs to be taken down. She cannot keep getting away with this. Don't donate your books here, buy anything, and especially don't work here. You will be gaslit, taken advantage of, and stolen from. I see, over a year after leaving, she still continues to scam her customers. Insanity.

The only thing that keeps me from giving it the full 5 stars is that their selection is pretty sparse. I know that it isn't the largest store in the world, but it takes about 30 minutes to peruse through.

The prices are a little higher as it usually is with Book World - but you cannot put a price on that new-book smell.

This review is for the Starbucks cafe inside of Barnes & Noble. While the young staff of the cafe…read morewas pleasant, I was met with a very condescending & rude employee that I can only describe as female, mid-50s, heavy set with glasses + salt & pepper hair. And this was after I had already spent nearly $14 in the cafe on a sandwich, dessert item, and triple expresso. The only reason why I stopped at B&N in the first place was that I didn't want the nearby KwikTrip coffee, nor did I want to drive a few miles into downtown Appleton on this day. I was fatigued, and needed a good caffeine burst right away. Enter Starbucks cafe inside of B&N, which was the nearest venue close to my hotel next to the Fox River Mall. After ordering my food items and required triple expresso (my gold standard) from an incredibly polite twenty-something college female barista, I get this sneer from Ms. Grumpy Dumpy from her table as she was apparently on her break. I smile, of which she never changes her expression. It was as if I had ran over her dog or something with the look she was giving me. I wanted to ask the friendly barista "WTF is wrong with Mount Rushmore over there?" I thought nothing of it at further, so I didn't make it an issue. A few minutes later, the second barista (twenty-something male) indicated that my food order as ready, I waited patiently as my drink order was being prepared by barista #1. Ms. Large Marge decides to end her break, walk over to the counter to assert her authority. Without even looking at me, she picks up my coffee, and says "Here you go", then proceeds to nearly throw it onto the counter. Sort of stunned, I'm thinking "What in thee hayle just happened?" I wasn't in the mood to make this an issue, since I was tired. In addition, the two younger baristas were in stark contrast to their manager, considering how pleasant they were to me. As I start walking away toward the exit of B&N while shaking my head in disgust, I overhear the rude manager say "Next time, don't give him so much expresso." I so wanted to tell her that I had a triple expresso, and that if she had paid attention in 3rd grade math class, the volume of three expresso shots would be a larger quantity than one traditional expresso shot. Altogether, this experience motivated me to seek out better coffee venues in Appleton, mainly downtown and close to Lawrence University. Thanks to the awful attitude that I experienced from the Starbucks cafe manager inside of this B&N, I'll certainly never return to the cafe again no matter how bad my caffeine urges are. This manager is definitely not management material. If you don't like your job, fine. Don't take out your job frustrations on the consumer.
