This is a really fun bookstore in Flint. I was visiting some family the area and they know my love…read moreof bookstores so they pointed me this way. Worth the stop! I really enjoyed all the artwork and the chill/cozy vibe. The ambient music was great and there were plenty of places to just sit and hang out. It seemed like a nice community space to hang out in. I got a peppermint hot chocolate from the coffee bar. It was well priced and super hot when they gave it to me. Perfect for a rainy, drizzly, chilly day. It was tasty and warmed me right up. Next time I'm in the Flint area I'll stop back in for a visit!

What a great "find" in Flint. I love used vinyl and Totem's collection is impressive. In addition,…read moreif you are looking for a particular album, Aarontold me they have a warehouse a block away with 50,000 albums in stock. I picked up four albums - all around $7 to $10. Very reasonable. My wife found some used books. We also learned they are having a four-singer night on Jan. 23 and we are planning to make it back there for that. I recommend this place.

The lines are longer in both the cafe and the front than they used to be, but customer service…read morehasn't really appeared to suffer much because of it. While still a corporate bookstore, this B & N is friendly and has a nice, laid-back vibe. Great magazine selection, cute and spacious Starbucks cafe inside, free WiFi, a nice Nook station, decent customer service, a great children's section, and tons of comfy seating throughout the store to sit and read a book/magazine or study. This particular B & N has an impressive selection of coffee table books devoted to cooking and decorating, as well as a nice mystery section. One thing I've noticed lately is the growing selection of vinyl records and the ever-shrinking choice in CD's. I like that and hope to see even more vinyl make its way onto the sales floor over time. Now, they're displaying new release and remastered re-release vinyl records in both the front and the back of the store. Wow. Vinyl is definitely making a comeback. One caveat- there's been a dearth of assistance at the Nook station unless you go out of your way to request it. That's kind of a bummer. The sales staff is always pleasant and helpful once they are on the scene, but getting someone to show up is the tricky part.

This place had a large assortment of gifts and goodies for such a small space. They had retro match boxes, clothing, hats and gloves, crystals, jewelry, stickers, so much to look at.

This is University of Michigan-Flint's student bookstore, aka the UM-Flint B &N, located in the…read moreUniversity Pavilion in downtown Flint. As student bookstores go, it's pretty well run and fairly well-organized. This student-run store is conveniently located to campus, near plenty of dining options both in and off campus, as well as residence housing, classrooms, administration offices, the recreation center, university library, parking, and more. The pavilion houses a typical food court area, plus there are numerous restaurants and bars across the street. As for parking, there is a flat lot across the street, an adjacent parking garage and ample spaces to park up and down Saginaw Street, as well as campus parking lots designated for students and staff only. Prices can be downright sky high for pretty much anything and everything, from textbooks to supplies, but who are we kidding? This is the campus/student bookstore, so it's not like you're going to a regular bookstore. Prices on everything are jacked because it's a student bookstore and everyone knows that going in. The best bet is to pick up as many used textbooks as you can for your classes and just suck it up. Textbooks and assorted supplies, like notebooks, journals, blue book essays, etc cost almost as much as tuition. As for book buy-back rates? As with every other student bookstore out there, it sucks, but depending on who is working, you might be able to finagle a better deal than you would otherwise, but always be prepared to get something like $8-$12 back for a brand-new philosophy or history textbook that cost you $170 and was barely cracked open all semester. Sigh, it's the nature of the beast.
