Barnes & Noble is always a great time!…read more Frankly I love coming here to discover new book titles or purchase their B&N limited edition books. Shopping books through Amazon or other online retailers can be very easy, but there is nothing like walking through a book store and seeing all the different titles in just one place. Compared to other locations, this Barnes & Noble is not as busy and I like that is just one story building. I also like that they have plenty of spots all over the bookstore where you can sit and they also have a pretty nice size Starbucks. There is also plenty of parking and accessing this plaza is super easy from 410 or 281. Overall, I love coming to this store! The staff is always super friendly and they have an amazing selection.

Probably my favorite location…read more The layout of this location just makes so much sense! Every genre section branches off of a 'main hallway' and you can see over all of the shorter bookshelves so the store is really open and easy to peruse through. They've had what I came in looking for each time I've been, it's been clean and organized every visit, and the café has a ton of Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory, and other more popular chain brand products to choose from if you need a pick me up during your shop as well. Give this bookstore a visit! It's absolutely worth your while!

Came here with the family yesterday during our visit from Chicago!…read more Such a wonderful little gem! I didn't catch the name of the young lady that works there but she was absolutely AMAZING!

New owner of Nut vs Seed! If you've never been before, it's…read moreeasy to feel lost trying to find. The large warehouse has multiple businesses inside and there's not really a map to guide you. If you park in the back, it does Not connect to the Broadway entrance parking lot! We parked in back by the Amor signage closest to the back stairs. When you come up the stairs (it ramp to the far left) you see a long hallway and about 50' in you'll see Book Sale banner and items in the hallway. Congrats you found it! Lots of changes to happen, the owner spoke of adding a community table and reading spots, getting AC to make it more comfortable temperature, and other changes. I'm looking forward to coming back to see the process. The selection of items ranges so dramatically, it's like an antique shop that's book forward. Very fun to explore and if you have any questions don't hesitate to interact with Veronica, the new owner or just introduce yourself to say Hi!

I am currently kicking myself for not knowing this Half Price Books existed!…read more So long story short, I came to this HPB store because I wanted to sell a book that I had to copies of. Selling the book was super easy! They have a buy section at the end of the store where they can buy either in bulk or singles. The price you get for the book is determined by their popularity. For mine I got $6 which I thought was a good deal. I love books, so of course I had to go and explore around the store. The first thing that caught my eye was their Half Pint Book (kids) section which had so many amazing options of new and used items. They even had a bunch of kids toys and arts and crafts kits that were brand new. Frankly I can't wait to bring my little one and show him all the amazing books in that section. Another great find was their "New Bestseller" section which is right at the front of the store. They had a brand new book which I had just paid $32 and Barnes & Noble (which is across the street by the way), and they had it for $17.49! Like whaaaaaat?! Obviously since I have no self control I went ahead and used the money from my sell into buying another book, which makes it almost free, right? #GirlMath Anyhow! Definitely recommend checking out this amazing Half Price Books location.

Shop local when and where you can! Of all the indie book stores, this one has the most selection. I…read moreeven found the book I was looking for! Nowhere focuses on local, cultural, LGBTQIA, and overall a very diverse selection of books. They also host big events like speakers. Nowhere is about the size of your average Half Price Books and as someone else said, it's like stepping into a grown-up Scholastic Book Fair. Socks, bookmarks, cards, they sell so many things. Towards the back they also have a coffee shop! I need to go back and order a cortado for my review series. You can tell this shop is well-loved. It was extremely crowded. Staff remained in excellent spirits providing top notch customer service. I fell in love with this shop immediately. I was already a fan based on word of mouth. But experience the shop for yourself - you must do it. I can't wait until my next visit.

Love a hybrid business. This independent book store and coffee shop has most things I could ask…read morefor: wifi, coffee (and non coffee drinks), snacks, and seating. Their displays of books are well curated, and they have some knickknacks and gifts for that eccentric person in your life. I do wish the cafe had some gluten free options (pastries looked and smelled so good. The whole area smelled like butter.). And would like an alt milk option that isn't nuts, soy, or oat based (like coconut milk!). Free parking in the back.

This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

I've decided to explore the city's used bookstores. It seems we have quite a few, and I wasn't…read moreaware of many of them. Nine lives books was one of them. It is located in a strip mall off Fredericksburg, and it won't be found unless ones looking for it, which I was. It is not a very big place, but it does have a lot of knickknacks, including an impressive collection of stickers, bookmarks, and vinyl records, to name a few. It actually is a pretty neat place. The books are used and for the most part they're very reasonably priced. They do not have an inventory of the books, so you do have to look through shelves, if looking for a particular title. And their staff is only one person at the cashier. Which is to say that you can browse to your heart's content, and discover some major reads. They also had quite a few boxes of books that were under one dollar or $.50. This is one of those places that I intend to return to, because of pricing and to support small businesses. I truly recommend visiting this place. It makes for a fun visit.

There's bookmarks, stickers, collectibles, etc. I never regret a trip to this place because if I can't find what I'm looking for, at least I had a pleasant interaction with the employees.

My favorite Barnes and Noble!…read more The location is pretty big and carries everything you could think to ask for, including merch beyond books. Sprayed edge favorites and current picks, manga and danmei, Legos and puzzles, a Harry Potter section, you name it, they probably have it. If they don't, it's super easy to have it ordered for you. It's never difficult to find a staff member if you need assistance as they are constantly restocking shelves or checking in with customers, and the layout of the store itself is easy to maneuver. No floor to ceiling shelving units that block your view. I can't recommend this Barnes and Noble location enough. It's one of the best ones in San Antonio!
