Information regarding pricing or what was in stock was impossible to find so I had to go and check it out first hand. I was greeted upon immediately walking in. This place is way bigger than I thought it would be. I started browsing the book shelves that were in front and worked my way back towards the store. I only looked through the fiction section but noticed a huge selection of other genres like Sci Fi and Adult Romance. There was also a children's section in the back. Walking towards the front of the store, there were shelves with DVDs as well. In the middle of the store, there's a little lounge section with comfortable chairs and tables to read at. I was carrying several books so I decided to grab a shopping basket. They have the cool ones that have wheels and suitcase like handles. I finally made my way to the register and chatted with the employee. She asked if I found everything i was looking for, to which I did not. She offered to look up titles I wanted and even though they did not have any in the store, she offered to put my information in the system if those books do show up. I purchased 6 books and paid almost $20. Not horrible but I thought for sure it would be cheaper. They have a buy back program, where you receive store credits but I forgot to inquire about the details. Of course I will be back!

They have new and used books for sale, as well as special copies, board games, puzzles, records, and DVDs. And they buy and sell all of it! The place is huge inside (much larger than it looks from the front), and if you sell things to them you can either get cash or store credit (you do get slightly more bang for your buck if you choose store credit). They do also have a large amount of theological texts. Anyhow, I highly recommend giving this place a try if you are looking for a local bookstore!

When I moved from Chicago to Florida, I sold off everything I owned and came south with just what I…read morecould fit in my car. That means I had to part with my 500+ book collection. A lot of the books I had have been out of print for 40 years, and I despaired of ever being able to replace them. I came across Donald H's review here on Yelp and was pleased to discover ZbookZ was only 5 minutes away. From the street the bookstore looks tiny (maybe 600 sq ft), but when I entered I discovered that there were several rooms stuffed to the rafters with used books! Had to be at least 2000 square feet! Jimmy greeted me like an old friend even though this was my first visit. He knows his stock, which is amazing because there had to be at least 20,000 books in the store. He took me directly to the books by the Author I was most anxious to replace (Donald Hamilton, who wrote westerns and spy novels from 1947 to 1989). He had 14 titles all in good to excellent condition and a 15th title missing the back cover and part of the front cover. Best of all, Jimmy was wiling to negotiate on the price, since some of these books were so old that the cover price was less than a dollar.

She Scares me on how she acts in front of my Kids like this - any time that we have been there. Last time, she would not stop yelling at my family "that SHE could SHOUT ALL she WANTED to". I politely asked her to Stop, but she continued Yelling across the store repeatedly over and over - until we just gave up and left. She even went outside and was Shouting across the parking lot. Will not take my kids there ever again. This was absolutely ridiculous. I did Not appreciate explaining a Violent and Disrespectful Adult acting this Unrespectable to or in front of my kids. Would you take your kids to experience this ? Prices are expensive - and credit isnt much for donating books anyway ... Guess they don't care about - nor want their customers. *** Lost us as customers. Bye ! ps: My wife doesn't seem to like taking the kids here either. Don't think that she has the patience to deal with people like this (the staff's weird behavior and Pushiness with people).

It has been a number of years since I had been in a Barnes and Noble, the last time being down in…read moreOcala (since the one in Gainesville had closed down many years before). Hearing that one had opened in Gainesville again, I thought that to be interesting, but not something that I really needed to go into deliberately... no, I could wait until I was in the area and didn't really have much else planned. Well, that time has finally come, and after a visit through Best Buy two doors down (where I didn't buy anything... I was just curious what technological gadgets exist these days) I walked into Barnes and Noble. Entering, it seemed to have the same sorts of things I have grown accustomed to in these stores over the years. Newly published and best sellers at the front, then stacks going towards the back that hold various subject matter. Coffee shop to the right, which was NOT Starbucks and therefore did not make the entire store reek of burnt coffee. I started walking through the store, when I realized that the layout is not all that great. Because of the height of the stacks and the way that they are labelled, it is pretty much impossible to know where different sections of material are located without walking through the entire store to find them. Sight lines are kind of ruined, so figuring out where romance novels or the kids section is will take a bit of exploring. However, this is not the problem I had with the store. I mean, I get that... you want people to walk through the store to some extent so that they see more of the store and what you have to offer. No... My biggest problem with the store is that once I found the section I wanted, the books were in no discernible order! Every other store I have ever been in (that wasn't a second hand store where books kind of just get grouped into a section) has the books ordered alphabetically by author, but here? Nope. Science fiction and fantasy started out with the A's, quickly ramped through the alphabet, then started again. Same happened with the Y/A section and children's section. It just... doesn't make sense. Looking for a very popular author in the SciFi/Fantasy section, there were none in stock. None. An author with more than eighty titles, including recent (in the past year) releases, and nothing in stock. There are other bookstores in town, ones that are closer for me, and I do not see myself going to this store anytime soon.

It smells like books and has a warm but clean atmosphere. I was happy crossing the maze of bookshelves each corner I turned finding something interesting to read or hobby related item. There's a coffee shop inside that serves Starbucks and I feel like one could really spend hours here if they wanted to. The service was great and I found some things on sale even though the store just opened days ago.
