    Board games upon board games
    Jonathan B.

    I've always had a soft spot for book stores. Sure, those nooky little hole in the wall local joints are wonderful. I prefer them 9 times out of 10. But for the other one time, I truly like getting physically lost in a massive bookstore. Since brick and mortar is a dying breed for books in particular, I imagine B&N's time for this world is short. So I want to take it all in by visiting here as often as I can. This two-story (pun not intended) behemoth offers all you could want from a bookstore. Coming in here makes you actually believe such a place could last forever. Books of fiction and nonfiction span every possible genre and age range. While books may be the namesake, they foray into every other imaginable genre with a touch on media. Vinyl records, CDs, DVDs for your electronics fix. Plenty of gifts and knick-knacks, stationery, fandom toys and décor, board games, and on and on. B&N has done a great job of cramming a Starbucks into every store too. There's now a membership scheme that could certainly rival that of Amazon: $25 for a year which includes free shipping and a lot of other great savings. While I do love a good, big, quiet library, nothing beats a similarly sized store with everything brand new and ripe for instant purchase and consumption. Whether fortunately or not, the store also sits fairly empty which makes for plenty of quiet reading space. Come in and read one book then buy another. (I know, I know, that's not the way to keep the joint in business.) At the very least, it's a great place to hang out with a cup of tea and a mind full of creativity.

    I used to be quite the B&N hanger outer. We'd make an evening of it. Come here, pick up a couple of books and magazines, find a comfortable seat, read for an hour or three, then leave. Sometimes, we'd buy a coffee. Rarely did we buy a book. And I have to wonder how B&N stays in business. Do this many people buy books at full retail price to keep the lights on? Yes, there is a membership club and if you're planning on buying $200 of books in a year, you'll start to break even at that point. And I think it gets you free refills on the drip coffee. Clean, organized, prices marked, shelves stocked, associates willing to help if you can find them. But the prices? Wow.

    Ooh how I miss Borders but Barnes will have to do. The customer service here is great and the selection of products is also very wide. I've been to this location on several occasions not for books but to check out the Nook and to stop into Starbucks. There is a Starbucks in this store (full service) fully equips with couches and seating. My most recent visit here I remembered to check in on Yelp so I could review later only to find out that this place wasn't listed on Yelp which isn't cool. So I added it in order to check in and review. My husband and I along with our son attended Pajama StoryTime this weekend which was held upstairs in the children book sections at the stage area. I wasn't impressed with the StoryTime here as my son and I usually do weekly StoryTime at the library and we have high expectations according to how that one is ran and how amazing it is. The Barnes one was dull and super short I mean she walked over and didn't even start by playing with the children to get their attention. She just picked up the book and said "I'm reading something dragon" Really! She flew through the book and was done in about 1 minute 42seconds TOPs. She then offered coloring sheets of dragons and crayons to the children while she offered kids club cards to us parents which we accepted because we read a lot to our son. They need to attend a StoryTime at a library to grasp ideas and incorporate them accordingly.

    HORRIBLE SEATING!!!!  Shame on you Pineville, NC Carolina Place Barnes and Noble!!!!

    Whenever we visit cities outside our hometown area, we always look for bookstores ... used books…read moreor new. On this visit to Charlotte, NC we stopped in at the Book Rack. Besides a focus on mystery and thrillers, they really had most genres covered. Most of the books here ... and they claim tens of thousands of books ... are used, and are generally on consignment from somebody. So quality varies, and you might find two copies of something in very different conditions and at matching price points. That being said, the selection was exceptional and well worth investigating. The Book Rack had an especially large selection of kids books ... which was great for us. The only downside of some of these large holdings is that they aren't all classified and organized. Sometimes a certain genre will just be stacked in crates or boxes ... but don't let that dissuade you. There are treasures to be found here. If you like books and enjoy the hunt, this place is for you. Recommended.

    I feel like I found a gem and wonder where have I been…read more This is a little bookstore that sells new and used books. I mean can this get any better. First time I went. I brought two books on house plants and planting in containers. I couldn't find any pies making or pound cakes baking books that were on my list but I emailed them to today to ask if any of these are available. They replied right away. Even though they didn't have the books I wanted. The customer service was great. They're willing to reserve these books if those come in. The cost of all the used books can be $5 to $8 which is great.. And if you follow them on Instagram. There's specials sometime. Go check them out
