We recently visited this Barnes & Noble in a community not far from Boulder, whose Barnes & Noble I have used for decades. I had called the Boulder store for a book on local wildflowers that my husband needed for a project. Not surprisingly at this time of years, they were sold out. I asked if the Superior store had any, knowing that it is a smaller store and may have less stock . I was told the computer listed one in stock. It is rare for a single copy to actually be there, given the fact that copies "disappear" from time to time or are damaged and moved off of the shelves. I have had several years in bookstore management experience so I called the store, ask a staff member to look for it and pull it to save until we could get here in about 30 minutes. The staff member did just that, found it and reserved it behind the counter. We headed right out and entered the store in 20 minutes. It's easy to find, adjacent to the Costco in that shopping center.
I had only recently heard that this store even existed. It is attractive and bright with very nice displays. I noted one that I intended to read but since I am limited to audiobooks because of low vision, I passed up the display here. But years ago, I would have grabbed on the spot. Both the staff member on the phone and the one in person that we met, were quick to help. Parking was plentiful and free. If Boulder had it in stock, I could have taken a bus, right to the front door. read more
