We finally visited the B&N on Route 17 by Fashion Plaza. My husband and I stopped inside after work…read moretwo weeks ago. We started off walking around together, but split off and got lost walking through the store and checking it all out. The space is massive and has high ceilings. Plus, it's very bright and light inside. All the sections are organized and feature good visual merchandising of new arrivals and/or books on sale. There's a nice cafe area towards the back with ample tables and seating at the back left of the store. Throughout the store, there are also lots of comfortable chairs to sit on if you find interesting reading material that you want to preview or flip through. My husband said it best when he said, "Wow, there's so much to find - you could never get bored here!" I know that we will be back.

Upping my review to 5 stars. This has become our preferred location. The store remains large,…read morewell-stocked, and clean with helpful staff and an abundant selection. Most times, books I want that cannot be found in other locations can be found here, and I believe this is due to their sheer size in this location, being able to house more books. The staff are remarkable. Kind, helpful, patient, courteous, and they take their time assisting you. This is a great touch. They offer promos and sales, so be sure to catch those. The premium membership makes things worthwhile. Their selection of vinyl far surpasses other locations, and I often find myself disappearing into their music department as a result. Highly recommended!

The blonde worker and her father are both nice while the father is knowledgeable about the markets and capabilities of all their items. CONS: This place is hidden within a storage unit which makes it tough to find. the store is also cramped inside and its somewhat unorganized. records, cds, video games, pops-- they're scattered throughout the store rather than having one section for each. The daughter of the owner also doesn't know that much about the merchandise she's selling. also their days and hours that they are open are minimal OVERALL: I'll come here again if I'm looking for nothing pop-culture wise, but i would make sure im the only one here and the owner is in

The service was rude, the selection lousy, but sometimes you could find a decent priced item.

Let me start by declaring Sound Exchange the best record shop I've been to on the East Coast. Last…read moreweek, I visited nine shops across NY, NJ, RI, CT, MA. Sound Exchange stood out like a beacon in a storm--a storm of mediocrity. And Sound Exchange isn't staffed by a bunch of vinyl snobs, hawking $50 copies of the latest Taylor Swift. They have vinyl, cassettes, and CDs galore. If I'm honest, they had more CDs than I've ever seen in a single shop. Every genre. And the prices were quite reasonable. And the staff...Anthony knows as much about music as anyone I've ever met. He was also the nicest guy. I can't wait to come back! BEST SHOP ON THE EAST COAST--EASILY!

In all my years of being a vinyl enthusiast I have never seen the game played so badly. This place is a mess with everything stacked horizontally in a shambolic moldy hoarder disarray. Nothing in this hovel except the aforementioned "5 dollar" stock [read - sub dollar bin garbage) is actually priced, so If you somehow miraculously find something - an LP/DVD/Cassette etc the owner will look it up and charge you listed [not sold/completed] eBay prices. I don't even think the owner knows how to actually use discogs or ebay for that matter. If you are serious about records do not waste your time or money here this place is a joke. There's SO MANY other amazing well curated organized and customer friendly spots to patronize within a 30-45 minute drive. I highly suggest you go to Human Head or A1 and get blown away by the selection and prices on offer,not to mention amazing warm customer service.

I hadn't seen it, but on our way back, we stopped by, and it was like being transported to the 1980s in the best way possible. Digital Press Videogames had something for practically every video game system ever created, from Atari 2600 to ColecoVision cartridges to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One X and PlayStation 5. My kid, who is fascinated with vintage games, picked up a used GameBoy Color and a Pokemon game, while I bought an emulator to play all the classic games I enjoyed as a kid. The prices are more than reasonable, especially for the vintage stuff, and there were deals that were better than any chain store. The staff were helpful and friendly when my kid asked them questions, which I really appreciated. Amazing!
