Barnes & Noble Booksellers

This bookstore is on an island. Location, location, location – put your bookstores within walking distance of something.
There’s not much parking, but there are always free spots available. It’s in a good location if you need a single place to study at, but I prefer locations where I can escape to the bookshelves and my family can walk to things nearby. It is in the middle of the hectic life of the corner of 64 and Germantown Parkway and a few hundred yard walk from Wolfchase Galleria. However, it’s only «close to other things» from an automobile perspective.
There’s only a single power outlet in the café on the far side from the main door. Total bummer and puts a damper on electronic-​based long-​term study sessions.
Once you get past these details it turns out to be average faire for Barnes and Noble, which is a respectable and relatively consistent bookstore in cleanliness and stock.

I love bookstores, they are my favorite and I can spend hours browsing the racks. I usually go in with a list of what I’m looking for when I come to the chain bookstores. I normally find most of what I’m looking for here but today I got skunked. I was shocked. They didn’t have any book I wanted on my list of 8 books. I know I can have them order them but when I get my read on, I want them now. I don’t want to wait for them to ship.
Of course, I still browsed and walked out with some new authors in a variety of genres. But I was still disappointed. B&N would be even more disappointed if they knew I bought the ones I was looking for electronically and not from them. Oh, well, until my next search.

I love any place with a ton of books and Barnes and Noble is no exception. This location has a great staff and I really like the setup. If I ever need help finding a book, they’re always willing to show me where it is. The only thing that I don’t like about the Starbucks is that you can’t tip the baristas! Boo. I’ve had one refuse it before. Other than that, they are pretty much the same as any other Starbucks. I’ll always recommend this place!

Although I usually buy books on amazon and thrift stores I come here for magazines and books on sale or with a gift card. Great selection and staff, wait to checkout can be a little long, but there are plenty of things to see and read.
Great place to hang out if you love books.

I have to reiterate — I have no clue how this store is still in business. The boyfriend found a book around Christmas that he wanted to purchase several copies of, one for us and one as a gift. Amazon to the rescue, at $ 15.99 or thereabouts. But wait, I said… instead of waiting for shipping, why don’t we just pick these up at the bookstore?
I went online to Barnes and Noble and found the book in question. There was even an option to hold it for store pick-​up — perfect! Except that, wait a minute, the in-​store price was $ 10 higher. Huh? When we stopped by the store to inquire, the girl could not explain why it cost more to buy the book now, rather than ordering it, and could not discount the in-​store price for us.
The boyfriend ended up ordering 2 copies on Amazon on his phone, while still in the store. Just another reminder of why I never bother to shop here…

It’s very relaxing, comforting, stuff is very friendly. I always enjoy my book reading time with perfect warm cup of coffee. I’m making this place Atleast once week to visit for good quality book reading time. «Must go».

I love barnes and nobles. I Grew up studying and reading in big bookstores. Seeing as this is the only one in the area, keep it in business please!!!
They have a great selection of moleskine products (but not planners-​gosh darnit), books, holiday supplies, etc. the Children’s section is cute just like any other BandN.
A good place for the avid reader to go and just chill while the rest of your friends or family goes onto wolfchase to complete their shopping! you can find me here. :]

Best Starbucks café. Because these baristas actually care about your drink! So what if they can’t take your giftcard, they can’t help that and most places that are affiliating with a business cannot. They certainly make up for it!

The only major bookstore in the area. But they usually have everything you need and if they don’t they will oder it for you.

Did not have book I went for and prices are much higher in store than online, delivered to your door! Great customer service.

This is one of our family’s favorite place to hang. The older kids are avid readers & can spend hours reading here while baby plays on the Thomas the train table. Free wifi too so my husband & I will either read or browse the Internet. Has a Starbucks inside too. Always organized & bathrooms are very clean.

Weekend Barista is inept and couldn’t remember my drink order because she was too busy telling me they don’t honor Starbucks cards. She pretty much told me she didn’t get my drink order because she wasn’t listening.

I basically live here. As a grad student, and a person with a serious book habit, Barnes and Noble is my second home.
This particular location has the café smack dab in the middle of the store. I like it, it’s the best spot for people watching when you take a break from reading or studying. They have a pretty good selection of Moleskine notebooks, which I happen to be a sucker for.
I come here at least once a week. The café has decent food, and the coffee is always good. This B&N is perfect to wander away a few hours and find some good reading.

Vast magazine selection — which is why I visit, as I am totally not into novels
Café is perched and elevated in the middle of the store. They have the standard café fare. If you’ve been to a B&N, you know what that is.
They have comfy chairs scattered about — which ‘probably’ is a deterrent from people actually buying anything, since they can just grab a book and curl up comfortably — but still they’re nice to have.
Store is spacious, well lit and employees are friendly and helpful.

I agree with Misty — this location is great. You walk in, the place is clean, smells of books and yummy coffee, since there’s a little coffee shop smack dab in the middle, complete with little tables where you can enjoy your coffee with a cup o’ joe.
They have a great selection of super-​cute cards and stationery which I’m a sucker for.
You’ll also find big, squishy chairs scattered through the store that you can sink into with your read. It’s such a welcoming place. Love it.
I also love the amazing selection of books on sale, in every genre, as well as an adorable kids’ section.
And, if you’re into manga, they’ve manga’ed out a corner in the back. It’s graphic novel paradise.

This is a great Barnes and Noble. The store is spacious, well stocked and always clean. Plus it has the new book, coffee smell that is so wonderful when you walk in!
The children’s area is large, creative, colorful and playful. The staff is friendly and helpful. I was here today to pick up summer reading books for my children and they have tables set up for various age groups which made it so easy.
I love the café area. I have gotten their coffees and deserts. They serve sandwiches too, that look and smell great.
Why come here for adults:
The selection is large and the café area is a great place to check emails and meet clients. They offer free WiFi and there is plenty of room to spread out with your laptop and paperwork. I come here often to meet clients.
They offer a writer’s club every other Saturday at 10:00 and various book clubs. Check the website for updates.
There are always good «finds» on the bargain table as you enter. It’s fun to see what is on sale.
Why come here with kids:
The selection is diverse and the play area is fabulous. Kids can sit on the benches and read their books or play with the train set. There is even a miniature stage which allows them to be creative.
They offer two story times each week– Tuesdays at 11:00 and Saturdays at 11:00. I have been several times and Tuesdays are not crowded which makes it nice for the little ones. They always have a craft and the website details what book will be read each week. Try it out, it’s free so there is nothing to loose!
