    Books and books galore...
    Arnel S.

    This is a nice place in the Palladio to peruse books and more in a relaxing environment. My family and I frequent this place and find that the time does pass by here quite quickly...quite enjoyably. There's seating areas around where you can take a book for a spin before purchasing. And there's a restaurant and coffee bar if the time is right for food and beverages. There's just so much to enjoy... The place is brightly lit and well decorated. Apart from books, there's a lot more other things you can buy...vinyl records, toys, even model kits you can assemble in your spare time. And there is always the staff, friendly and knowledgeable about the store and its merchandise. Summer time in Folsom can get quite hot, but a relaxing visit to Barnes and Noble here in the Palladio is cool!

    I love the layout of this store. It's welcoming and well-staffed with separate resource and checkout areas. My son loved the salted white toffee cookie from the cafe.

    Probably the best B&N I've ever been to. It's massive and even has a restaurant inside. Located in the Palladio shopping center it's in a great location. Such a vast variety of books and toys. I had a great time visiting this location and my kids were thrilled with their book selections.

    Such a neat experience. I haven't had the food. But it's a nice touch for buying a book and having something to eat or drink. Always a good stop while waiting for the movies.

    I love to come to this outdoor mall in Folsom . Everytime we come here we have to stop at Barnes and Noble grab a coffee so us adults can continue to walk around. My boys and I love to look around pick books to read . This store is huge and has a lot of cool things and obviously great books . On the left side they have a restaurant and coffee . Next time we come back we will definitely stop by again for some more fun family time here.

    Blind date with a book! Love this idea.

    We had dinner at The Melt and wanted to stretch our legs after. I haven't been to a book store in like forever, because I mostly read e-books. This Barnes & Noble is bigger than I expected with high ceilings and spacious. If I had the time, I'd feel comfortable curling up in a corner and read. There is a big section of Manga, which my teenager son enjoyed thoroughly. A large area for young kids. A nice section of magazines and vinyl/CDs. I think you can find just about anything here. There is also a restaurant called Barnes & Noble Kitchen inside - very convenient! The individual private restrooms are a plus! We purchased a couple of books and this was a nice treat. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Palladio.

    Went to this B&N location with a friend for Liz Tomforde and Tarah Dewitt book signing - very spacious and super organized event! B&N Employees were great and the event went by smoothly- and had a great time. I love that this location has multiple restrooms and several indie books that I haven't seen at other B&N locations. Can't wait to go back here again!

    This bookstore doesn't have as many books as other locations but they do have a great selection. Half this store is a restaurant and there's a Starbucks inside. When you first walk in, it's all tables with popular books. There's one table with Barnes and Noble exclusive editions. These are usually hardback classics with golden edges on the pages. They sell vinyls here too. They also have a Harry Potter table with merchandise. Their children's section has a seat for reading and lots of toys for sale. To the right of the shop are the bathrooms and water fountain. The cafe is on the right side too. This shop have much more space than other locations, making it feel less cramped. Some areas of the bookstore have so much space, such as the manga section.

    This is one of the posher Barnes and Noble bookstores. That is because it is relatively new and built to spec. It is located in Palladio shopping center in Folsom, CA which makes parking Besides the bookstore, it has a cafe and a separate coffee bar with a lounge area. Plus they have an outdoor seating area. The coffee bar serves Starbucks coffee. You do not have to buy anything to sit in the coffee lounge or outdoor patio. On the weekends, the cafe has a brunch menu served 10am- 2pm. Last weekend the menu included bottomless mimosas and lemon ricotta pancakes. Oooh! The layout and interior design of the bookstore is fun and cheery. Great lighting. Eye catching displays. Good selection of current and classics reads for adults, teens, and children. They have discounted books and ongoing sales specials. Each month, they have monthly book picks and offer buy one and get half off from those picks. If you cannot find a particular book, you can ask the associates at the front counter or information desk. They can search the inventory online and even order items to be shipped to the store. They also sell cute greeting cards, kitschy gift items, tote bags, journals, planners, calendars, and new vinyl records. Yup, you heard me right... vinyl records!! But I looked through the racks and did not recognize the artists.

Then check out the Friends of the Library Bookstore. It's located inside the Folsom Public Library building. They sell all sorts of categories. Children, cookbooks, young adults, sci fi, mystery, and nonfiction. Plus CD, DVDs, and audio books. Prices range from free ( aha... giving it away with nothing asked in return kind of free), a quarter to $3. When they have the monthly pop up sales, recently decommissioned library books are 10 for $1. Yes... I did a double take too. 10 books for $1!! The proceeds goes back into the library programs.

My 5 year old received the Amazing Animals book from their Free Books basket(1 book per child) she recommended as well! I would definitely recommend paying a visit to this non-profit organization that opened it's doors in the year 1990, all run by volunteers, all items generously donated and all staff volunteers! Each sale of course goes towards the library, they accept donations for gently used books, DVDS, CDs and audio books as well! In fact we'll be stopping by this morning to donate some children's books and purchase some Handmade Father's Day cards as well to help support our favorite library! :-)

We used to buy childrens books here almost weekly, their selection is decent while extremely unorganized. (Don't trip on the piles of books). Don was great, as he was always friendly and helpful, and it was clear he had a deep passion and love for books. We would bring in trade books as our kids grew up and outgrew their books, and they would discount any new purchases based on how much trade credit we had with them. The books were always priced well and reasonably, and while disorganized, it was the closest bookstore we had. it was always fun to look for treasures, and chat a bit with Don. Things went completely downhill when his wife took over the business. She got rid of the friendly cashiers and replaced them with what appears to be her friends, who know next to nothing about books, and are constantly in bad moods or throw attitude. Last week we were in line and the grey haired lady rand up a guy in front of us, saying nothing, then mockingly said something along the lines of "This is where you give me the credit card so that you pay", without saying anything else to him. No idea why she was so mad as a quiet customer who was confused by herr terrible attitude. We wanted to leave immediately, but we had two books to buy, so we had to deal with the aftermath. Then when we were checked out, she grumpily told us the price without looking at us. What on earth is happening here now. When we got home, we saw that the books were priced 1 or 2 dollars more than the new price, so even with our discount, we were practically paying new prices for books in fairly poor condition. We will be going elsewhere in the future. We just wish a decent bookstore would open in our area so we don't have to drive to Half Price. Maybe when his wife gives up, it will prompt someone else to open a shop who actually cares.
