Barnes & Noble Booksellers

This will be the last time I come to this location! The last four times we’ve been here, the lady who works in the child’s department and a gentlemen in the toy area have been extremely rude to not only myself but my child as well! If you work in a childlike atmosphere learn how to treat and talk to children properly! My daughter cleans up after herself and doesn’t act like half of the crazy children in here yet we are disrespected. This lady always seems stressed and never answers my questions with a smile or a happy tone! She really needs to understand that the consumers are what secure her job in the first place, might want to start treating them differently!

This place is the best. I love their selection of YA books, something the other locations skimp on. I can usually always find what I need, and customer service is always determined to help. Pretty much every problem or return I’ve had was resolved quickly.

Dropped by this location to purchase «A Clash of Kings» by George R.R. Martin, the second novel in A Song of Ice and Fire.
All B&N’s have pretty much the same layout. As soon as you walk in you’re met with the latest electronic devices. Starbucks entices your senses with fresh coffee. The rows of fun toys for learning are distracting. I wish I had those when I was young.
You can wander around and never get bored.

I came to this location after struggling with their website. I was attempting to resell my text books online. On their website there is a page where you can resell your books. The page was down so I decided to go into the store. When I got to the counter I explained to the guy that I was there to sell my books back. He flat out told me «we don’t buy back text books.» I explained that the website says they do and that I’ve sold them back online before. He then said «you must have been on the wrong site, we don’t buy books back.» I second guessed myself for a minute and thought maybe I was on the wrong site. I left, went out to my car and pulled up their site. Yup the site says they buy back books! I almost attempted to sell my books back through their online page but because of how rude that man was I decided to just go to Half Price Books instead. Maybe they don’t buy back books in store and just on their online site. Either way I would have expected a more respectable response. I’ll never return to this store.

Books and more books. This is always a clean place .and a good selection. Was able to find all my books and more. Staff was friendly and willing to help. Lots of bargain books to choose from. Was surprised to see the selection of journals and other gift ideas.
Also learned they sold videos too never knew this.

I really enjoy this location. It’s right around the corner from my apartment which makes it so convenient. The store is always in great condition, a great book selection and nice café inside. They have one of my favorite sections when it comes to one of my favorite TV shows. They have a great little Big Bang Theory section with board games, bobble heads and other cute things. I go here often because they are constantly getting in new products. Thr staff is always friendly, and extremely helpful when asking for help.

I have always loved this Barnes and Noble. It’s a nice big one with a great variety and selection. You can get help easily. I also love the Starbucks there, more for the reading ambiance encouragement than the coffee. All around a great store. It’s a pity they are dying out.

This is an ok bookstore. It’s spacious with a lot seating areas around the store. I like to go here to relax and have lunch sometimes at their café. I personally think it’s kind of awkward for the guy barista walking around and asking people sitting at tables to order drinks when one is standing at the Cash Register counter! Give people some personal space and people will go to the cashier register at the café when they want something! I had one barista argued with me when I asked for something simple such as a bigger plastic cup for water after I paid for my lunch here.

Huge store. Very very tiny graphic novel section. Wasn’t able to find what I wanted but did get a Men’s Health magazine. Store was pretty empty and they had one person at the register who was doing something so I had to wait for 5 minutes before she turned around to help me.

I love this location. It’s right up the street from my apt, which is very convenient. Huge selection of books for all ages, Godiva chocolate stand to pick through, magazine section, gifts and cards, awesome smell good bath products, Hello Kitty items, Starbucks, I mean what more can you ask for from one location!!! The people are always friendly and respectful and the atmosphere is nice and quiet! Perfect location to read and sip on a Hot Salted Caramel Mocha Latte mmmmm!

I like this location. They always have the children’s books I’m looking for. I am also a fantasy reader and I think their sci-​fi/​fantasy isle is solid. I never needed any help shopping this last time, so I didn’t interact with the staff. However when I checked out the man working the counter was friendly and speedy. I’m glad this location is here, I’ve gone to three half price book stores and couldn’t find «Little House in the Big Woods.» This Barnes and noble location not only had one copy but they had three!

I like this location. I can usually get a space right in front of the building. They close at 10pm during the week. The café is large and it is usually full, but you can usually find a seat. Other than that, it is a standard Barnes and Noble. It’s great for wandering around, killing time, and buying books.

Well, 5 Stars cause it is the only book chain left in the USA. Prices are fair and sometimes good bargains. Starbucks and WLAN for free. Friendly staff

This is one of the nicest B&N I routinely go to. The coffee shop is of good quality, and for the most part reasonable. One nicety of this location is that they regularly have good sales and clearance bins. The service here is also well above the norm! There are a number of nice sitting areas throughout the location. You can also find a number of great quality bound books for gifts, not rare books, but nicely bound and for the purpose reasonably priced… Make sure you spend the $ 25 to get the discount card, if you plan on spending more than $ 21 a month cumulatively at B&N.

Not going to write a lengthy review about a national chain — they are basically the same everywhere. What i do want to discuss is the lack of Lounge area.
I go here to relax, read a book, work on my computer — whatever — but the only places to sit was by the Starbucks, and that is bothersome to someone who is trying to read, relax and work…
Give me a sofa or a chair every now and then throughout the store so I can be alone…

yeah I like barnes and nobles so sue me. i know it’s corporate and all but gosh I really like this one. it’s big, clean, has Starbucks inside, and the people actually know their shit PLUS I drool over their stationery area.
This is a good place to pick up quick books to read and just browse. Plus gifts for whom ever birthday is coming up.
get on their mailing list for discounts!

It’s always nice to browse a brick & mortar book store.
I have a nook, but still enjoy wandering around looking for deals.
There’s a hands on display of the 3 different nooks that they sell. The sales person was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions.
Plenty of parking and free wifi.

I love Barnes & Noble too much, I think. I can’t go in there without buying a book (or 4). It’s nice, quiet, relaxing, open, and has a plethora of books for all! They do have a CD/​DVD section as well, but I don’t visit that part as often.
They also have e-​readers available for those that are interested.

Been to this one several times. All the book store chains are dying out. It’s close by to work and the places I stay at. Not a lot of places to sit. They need more cozy chairs around!
Everyone sits at the starbucks instead and one time, I saw a chess tournament going on at a table.
The staff is very friendly and helpful and I don’t find that in a lot of bookstores. I get weird «are you going to buy that» stare or just quiet librarian types. The other bookstore chain that is my favorite is Half Price. Both recommended.

I love me some Barnes and Noble! I read way more than your average person. Usually finishing somewhere between 1 – 3 books per week. Sometimes more (but very occasionally less).
I don’t buy ALL of my books at Barnes and Noble, as I read so many. I use Half Price Books quite frequently… but B&N is my favorite.
The store’s layout is nice (although since I frequented the Lewisville location for so long when I lived there, sometimes I get confused when I walk in and try to make a bee-​line for the section I want!) and their merchandising folks do a good job. Their seasonal/​special/​promo tables are set up well, are usually not obtrusive, and I’ve found a handful of interesting things there.
Then, they always have their specials. On the B&N paperback classics, you can do the buy 2, get a 3^rd free (or some other comparable special). Also, they’ll frequently include other books in specials and whatnot.
Reading spots or study spots are hard to come by at this location, though. I get it, it’s not a library, but sometimes if I’m sitting on the fence about a particular title, I’ll want to read a bit of it before I commit to the purchase. Especially during midterms/​finals time, there is not an empty chair to be found. It gets packed.
With the amount of money I tend to spend here, I really SHOULD sign up for their Members program, but I’m cheap. and I keep telling myself that I’ll cut back on my spending there and the $ 25 to join their Members program is too high. They will ask me at the register if I’m a Member. They’ll usually see if I want to join when I tell them I’m not… but they’ve never been pushy about it, as Lark L. said they were.
It’s always a clean store, the bathrooms are clean and usually well-​stocked. It certainly has a nice exterior as well. Parking’s not too bad, but the sprawling shopping center B&N is located in can create some obnoxious traffic when getting in and out.
I’m not a huge fan of their Barnes and Noble Café… yes, they have Starbucks Coffee, Cheesecake Factory desserts, and they offer sandwiches and whatnot. But they only have a microwave to heat things up. So when I order a delicious-​looking «Apple Purse» pastry, it gets all soggy and… microwaved when they stick it in there. Seating is hard to come by in the café area, especially during busy school times or during the summer.
Overall, I really do love this location. It’s big, it’s clean, it’s well-​organized, and the employees have been helpful in locating books for me (By the way, it’s part of their policy to walk you to the book you want rather than simply directing you how to get there. This is to ensure that you DO actually find the book you want and that it’s there. If they just point you in the right direction, who knows if you’ll get there, and if you do get there, if you’ll buy it.– So if you have a problem with them walking with you to show you the book you asked for, then just wander around and find it yourself. I’ve had friends who haven’t liked that.).
Oh, and for the record… My boyfriend (who worked at B&N 10+ years ago) goes crazy when people call it «Barnes and Nobles» instead of «Barnes and Noble” — the actual name. If you’re around us and you want to see his eyes go red and smoke come out of his ears…
