Byrd's is one of our favorite bookstores in the country. (Our absolute favorites are specialty…read morebookstores in Manhattan. You do have visit those if you want art monographs, theory, specific history topics, or rare books.) But Byrd's is our favorite bookstore, so far, in Connecticut. Though small, and therefore somewhat limited, it has a particularly good youth fiction selection (fantasy, etc.,) a solid selection of other fiction, some nicely chosen poetry, and even academic writings. What makes the trip extra fun is that the shop employs people who love books and can talk about books knowledgeably. That brings service to the forefront: There's a difference in dealing with people who want to engage you about the content in books versus those who merely want to sell books (as if books were potatoes or tee-shirts.) So the trip to Byrd's is always illuminating and social. We value both the inventory and the people at Byrd's. Good book people are a valuable and endangered class.

This review is for the new location at Danbury Fair Mall. I liked the old location down the street…read morebut this location is bigger and there's a cafe on the lower level. It's so nice to see a new bookstore like this. There are lots of personalized recommendations all over the store, which is a great touch. If you need a book, this is the place to go. What's really nice is downstairs they also have games, cards, wrapping paper, the cafe, etc so if you wander in, chances are you'll end up buying something you need. I'm biased because I like bookstores, but this is a really nice store so please check it out.

I met a date at this Barnes & Noble a few months back. She told me it was in the mall and she told…read moreme there was a cafe in the bookstore...but what she did not mention was that this book store has two floors, with escalators in the middle of the store! Whoa! Okay, okay...I've been in a bookstore with 2 or 3 floors before, but I have NOT been in a Barnes & Noble with more than one floor. My date and I met at the flagpole (err, one of them) in front of the mall and slipped inside to grab a drink from the cafe. I bought a fancy-pants bottle of soda and she an iced coffee. After finishing our drinks and realizing we had more to talk about, we agreed to scope out the rest of the bookstore. We checked out both floors and perused just about every section/genre and got to know each other a bit. I took a bunch of photos because this B&N was so well put together. Alas, I did not buy anything but this was one of the nicest bookstores I've ever been in. If I'm ever in Danbury again (say, for a helicopter flying lesson perhaps), I'd go back to this bookstore, and who knows...maybe I'd buy more than just a fancy-pants bottle of cola!
