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.

There is little to complain, besides the basic comments: "It didn't have what I was looking for."…read more"There should be more books and movies to choose from." "The prices are a little high for some items." As far as these things can be true, the store is great at finding generally what you want. You might not find exactly what you are looking for, but what store does. You don't get a lot for selling, but they are always buying books, movies, etc. Plus, you get cash for what you sell, never credit. You can find good deals on an array of media. The staff is also excellent; there might be times when they get short with you, but that is okay. They get all kinds of customers.

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.
