The Barnes & Nobles Booksellers in Midland, TX was less than flattering…read more I'm not even knocking the fact that it is a single story B&N. On January 4, 2026, my daughters and I shopped here. Their calendar selection was extremely limited. The ones they had were a bit damaged--that is, bent up or partially opened or missing the cellophane wrapping. There were a few sections that needed repairing and or sprucing up. In saying that, the huge children's section was pretty great. The prices were a bit exorbitant compared to Amazon. I resisted buying copies of books I loved that I recently read through my local library. The restrooms were not open. Not sure why. Lastly, there was only one person checking folks out. I even overheard the staff at the resource center discussing this. Glad y'all have one, but there is immense room for improvement.

Okay so here's the thing:…read more Barns N Noble as a company and as a whole are AMAZING, i love Barnes N Noble so this review DOES NOT go for the company, but for the store In Midland, TX Now, the thing about this store is, it is peaceful, it has a great selection for it being a smaller Barnes N Noble but it's the people that work there. I always feel extremely uncomfortable going into this store because the workers are always talking under their selves then looking at people and it makes me wonder "oh man what if they are talking about me?" Sometimes when people will ask about a book they ALWAYS instantly say they don't have it and they will look it up and then continue to say they can order it but it will take a very long time, basically trying to get the person not to order the book. It seems very highschoolish or cliquey if you will. There is only one lady there who has a welcoming smile and expression but it seems like everyone else just wants you gone. It seems like if you come in there just to relax, maybe grab a cup of coffee and read a book or maybe go on your phone or even just walk around they don't consider you someone to even ask "Do you need any help?" I don't know, it's a very off vibe to me. One time I was standing and aisle away from my wife, they offered her help 3 times and literally just looked at me and walked off..... kind of.... Weird? I for the love of God wish I could remember one ladies name that works there cause she has always been so sweet and helpful everytime she sees me and always ask what I'm looking for, even if I just want to get away from the rest of the world. She's the best. All and all this is your run of the mil Barnes N Noble but if you want me to be honest some of the workers look like they should have a change in careers. One time there was a kid who like didn't even pick up one of the workers walkie talkies I think it was and it was laying in the ground and she yelled out super obnoxiously "CAN I HELP YOU SIR??" And the kid was so embarrassed and shook. Like, he's a teenager, it's not like he's stealing from the store. It's just a very off putting vibe in there occasionally but it's still a nice place to shop and relax and grab a cup of coffee unfortunately just not as often anymore since it seems like it's not welcoming occasionally.

Wonderful selection of books at a reasonable price. Great for finding books for school or college…read moreliterature courses. Great for finding leisure reads and rare books. They have a couple of great sales each year helping the books be even more affordable. I love the volunteers that run the place. They are very sweet and lovely ladies.

Lots of great books to dig through…read more HOWEVER... 1 - too many adult books in the children's section 2 - rather than politely telling me they were closing, I had the lights turned out on me. The clerk snidely informed me, "Well, we close at 12." 3 - cash or check only
