This is a ok Barnes & Noble. It's not super fancy and cool like the bigger city ones (i.e. Easton, Chicago, Albany, etc.) but it's still great if you are looking for a book store to tool around in and you don't feel like driving downtown to the Book Loft in German Village.
It would seem that the teeny-bopper problem that used to happen on Friday/Saturday nights has gotten a little better. It used to be over run by kids to the point that browsing peacefully was no longer possible and they had to bring in a cop or two just to stand around and remove unruly teenagers.
I know that many find book stores to be so passé since they all have their ibook readers, but I'm behind the technology curve and still have to hold a "heavy" book and turn pages (which i'd rather do then hold a hot tablet in my hands). They still have a great book selection, they have a Starbucks inside, they have some really neat and interesting boardgames, and they have ridiculously over-priced movies and cd's (I don't know who buys cd's anymore but someone must as they still stock them). I pass on the over-priced movies and cd's but the games are cool and worth a browse (they have many Munchkin games. WOOT!) and I do like a coffee while sitting around books so even though this place is not some multi-tiered monument to books it's still a great place to go and pass some time while waiting for a movie or just for browsing sakes. read more
