    GALLOWAYS BOOK ON RUNNING.
    Frances D.

    I really enjoy this Barnes & Noble Booksellers Store location in Oceanside, CA. This Barnes & Noble Booksellers Store it has a wide variety of quality books to choose from and at reasonable prices. I have visited this bookstore approximately 4 times previously and I like this atmosphere. This Barnes & Noble Booksellers Store is a good size because it is not too big and not too small. It's the perfect size for me. I visited this Barnes & Noble Booksellers Store a few days ago because I wanted to start a running program and to have more energy now. This is June now and these weather conditions make me feel more tired lately. I was looking through their bookshelves and I located a great selection of books on Exercising and Sporting Activities. I came across this book's title called: Galloway's Book on Running. The author is Jeff Galloway. The price is $13.00. The contents inside this Running Book is very informative and useful information. Rudy my former boyfriend who is an athlete and has ran in several marathons. Rudy told me to buy a Runner's World Training Diary by Joe Henderson. Then Rudy said to me, it is a great way for me to track my weekly goals and to write them down in this Training Dairy every day. There is also on every single page in this Training Dairy, I can write down my Daily Weight and I can write down my Daily Pulse when I am jogging in these morning hours. It is a wonderful way for me to keep my whole body more fit. The price is $9.95. The total cost for these 2 Running Books was $22.95. Then I also bought this book called: In-Line Skating Made Easy. The author is Martin Dugard. The price is $16.95. I have been In-Line Skating on and off for about (two years) now. This In-Line Skating Made Easy Book is very detailed-oriented and it will help keep me to stay safer. I also purchased this Celine Dion DVD Video. I really love Celine Dion's music. Some of my favorite hits are It's All Coming Back To Me Now, The Power of Love, My Heart Will Go On, and That's The Way It Is and I Want You To Need Me. The price is $8.79. My subtotal was $48.69 plus the tax was $3.99 my total bill was $52.68. I paid for these (4 items) at the front cash register from a sales associate at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers Bookstore last week. I received excellent customer service from this location.

    From the "blind date with a book," section. Buy a wrapped book, knowing only the genre. I've already read this twice, so it worked out, ha.

    One of the last remaining physical bookstores, and I love getting lost in its shelves. Very helpful and friendly staff, particularly one employee restocking the fantasy section who declared himself their "resident nerd," and took the time to walk me through the entire fantasy/sci-fi section, giving me thoughtful and thorough suggestions based on what I read and enjoy most. The classics section also makes the store worth visiting with their beautiful Barnes & Noble Signature Classics editions and clothbound editions, which are quickly beautifying my home library. Took one star off just because it's on the pricier side and I can't always find what I'm looking for; but nothing compares to the feeling of wandering through the stacks and walking out with a book you never knew you needed!

    This is a large Starbucks inside the Barnes and Noble. Ample seating. Serves hot food too like caprese sandwiches, max and cheese.... Roxanne is very friendly and professional. Very clean location.

    Totally love this bookstore!. When I walked in with my little monsters there were several people greeting us and showing us new books on display. They also asked if they could help us find what we were looking for. Since I have promised my little monsters that I would buy them any book that they wanted, these two guys went all over the bookstore in search of their favorite stories. We ended up buying Pinkalicious for the baby girl and Harry Potter books for my little handsome guy. There was even a reading area in the children's section where I read a short story to them. Staff members let me read aloud and other kids also joined in on the fun. Very well organized bookstore with a coffee shop where we can order drinks and pastries. Current deal is buy one cookie and get one free!

    What a wonderful bookshop and the store owner was a pleasure to converse with. You can hear his…read morepassion for books in his voice. Anyway, we had planned a weekend trip to Carlsbad and searched for used bookstores in the area and Farenheit came up. So glad we stopped in and were able to walk out with a few books. Many vintage finds for all you collectors. Look closely and carefully as there are so many nooks and crannies in the shop where hidden gems can be found. You can find art books to cookbooks to history books. Please note that the shop's lease for this location is up soon. If you and anyone know of a space in Carlsbad Village, please contact the store owner Philip. He and this community deserve to have a bookstore. We are never too old or too young to learn. Grab a book and enjoy a good read! Lookout for the bargain books! And I loved the music played during our shopping experience, French jazz, which set the mood for our lunch in a local French cafe. Support this small business and stimulate the local economy and our brains!

This is a small shop but they've probably got something that will catch your interest. I bought a fat history book (no, not a book about the history of fatties, come on, now) for 1/3rd the normal price. And it is in perfect condition. I also appreciated the notes throughout the store encouraging the reading of banned books. Seems an appropriate message given the name of the bookshop. Plenty of free street parking in the area.

Everyone seems to be a medium here so they are delighted to talk with you about those things that go bump in the night, premonitions and apparitions and won't think you're crazy in the least. If you don't see what you're looking for, Celeste will order it for you too. It's run completely by volunteers and they are always so happy to see you and share their latest discoveries. There's such a wonderful variety of offerings that would include many items that you might usually find at a Metaphysical Bookstore, like gems and minerals, vibrational healing jewelry, incense and all kinds of Tarot Cars plus all Spiritually based books new and used. But then there are the more specialize tools for mediumship development classes. So you can find trumpets and slates and of course crystal balls too! There's also some wonderful inspired artwork that's really unique.
