She grabbed three packs for $2.99 each and walked to the register. The owner first quoted her a little over $12, she thought it was weird but didn't say anything and was going to view her receipt to see why the price difference from what she figured in her mind. Upon paying, their credit card machine malfunctioned so he took my mother's credit card to another register to the front of the store and charged her over $14 (she called her bank), wouldn't give her her receipt and made her feel very uncomfortable while she tried to ask her receipt. We used to frequent this store, but not anymore.

From a design perspective perhaps my favorite Barnes and Noble. Much smaller that the massive mall…read morestores, but I liked it. Good selection and a few places to sit down and browse. No coffee shop if I recall right. Didn't engage with staff so no feedback on that. I just liked how the store made me feel.

One of the best Barnes & Noble anywhere. It is not as wonderful as the first location--not as…read morebrowse-friendly, and it lacks the small press selection of journals and chapbooks that I always enjoyed before. But the central location is convenient, and offers a great selection of design, gardening, fashion, photography, and art books. Will you find the super rare or esoteric here? Probably not. But if you enjoy a good general browse, you will not be disappointed in the array of new releases, classic fiction, etc. While I absolutely prefer and rely on independent book sellers who are genuine cognoscenti, I don't expect that from the employees of a big chain. In all my visits to the store I have always been treated well. You do not get the kind of kid-glove or deeply informed assistance you might at The Strand, Rizzoli, Argosy, Three Lives & Company, etc. True, but B & N is convenient to us suburbanites. As long as you accept the baseline that you will find mostly mainstream publication products here, you won't be disappointed. As to value, the pricing is typical. But even at specialty and rare shops today it is difficult to find a bargain, everyone seems to use the internet to ascertain book values and prices. We stop in B & N frequently. I could have bought a boat instead!

They do have a decent selection of hard to find fashion magazines and even some international titles that one doesn't often see on this side of the Atlantic. But even though Grand Central Terminal is only 25 miles away, this is not as city centric a newsstand I'd like and the selection - while good - wasn't quite what it undoubtedly once was [or could be]. I was able to score a copy of the newest Monocle magazine but my hopes for the International Herald Tribune were dashed when I saw it wasn't the newsprint version but rather a photocopied one. No deal. I know I can find the IHT in Manhattan but who needs the hassle.
