Review written 02/17/2026. Used a $10 Fetch reward for Barnes and Noble to get this drawing book for $1.06 total.nnThey couldn’t find my rewards account at the cash register with my phone number so I had to pull it up on app.nnLong line, only one employee working at cash registers.nnItems pretty pricy overall except in bargain areannIf you’re lucky enough to be able to afford buying books instead of going to library, then it’s a cool place. But I recommend checking out your local library before buying
I truly hope bookstores like this one never disappear. There is something deeply satisfying about holding a real book in your hands—the weight, the texture, even that unmistakable smell of paper and ink. It’s an experience no screen, no matter how big or high-resolution, can ever replace.nReading on a screen simply isn’t the same. And yes, while people do read, many have become a bit too comfortable clicking instead of walking into a bookstore and browsing real shelves. When we stop buying physical books, we quietly allow places like this to fade away—and that’s a real shame.nI usually post photos with my reviews, but since I didn’t take any inside the store, I’m sharing photos of the two books I couldn’t resist buying instead. Sometimes the best souvenir is a good book… or two.
OMG! The junior reader section is great! I even found Spanish books for kids and babies! I was also impressed by the huge collection of Manga this location has. Did not disappoint!
Very nice staff! It is the closest Barnes to me and has a cafe. The other Barnes & Noble near me is brand new and large but no cafe, sadly. The only downside to this one is the carpets are really nasty. Often they look like they have not been ran over by a vacuum in quite some time. I think it’s a shame that that is the first thing customers can see when they walk into this store and they might judge the store on that appearance instead of the attitudes and personalities of the lovely staff members.nnEdit: just went there and I see they have fresh new carpets! Looks great.
Imagine what it would be like to go to a Barnes & Noble. Seriously take a minute and think about it. Once you have your idea, that's exactly what to expect. In short, we needed two books quickly. I'm here because they hand them. Upon arriving, the layout of the store made no sense and couldn't find what we were looking for after roaming around for 10 plus minutes. We finally asked somebody and they found the books in categories which didn't match the subject matter. Would only go again if we ever needed a book urgently otherwise no point.
