    The service here is always great. Emploees will say hi in passing, giving you the opportunity to…read moreask a question if needed, and there's always someone at the info desk in the middle of the store. But for the most part, they recognize that a solid browse is usually needed before you'll be ready to check out up front. I admit, once I find my books I always (always!) take a right turn before checkout to do a solid walk-thru of the papers, calendars, binders, candy- everything yu need to have cool, pretty things on your desk or bookcase. And theyy get me every time. I ike that you can put a book aside to pick up and pay in store. Some times I'm not 100% sure that I'm buying the book I want, so it's handy to not have to pre-pay for a pickup. The selections on the tables up front are usually fairly interesting - mysteries, current releases, popular titles. There's always something there that I haven't read, or a great gift idea. Yep, people still like to give and get real paper books! While I keep a dozen or so ready-loaded on my Kindle, my first love are books that stay with you and I'm always gifting one to someone who I know still reads, or is learning to read, or doesn't know that they need to READ A DAMN BOOK! Because I'm only there to help! Go. Listen to a story time. Attend an author event. Or get a Starbucks at the counter and grab a table. There are many worse ways to spend some time quieting your mind.

When I happened upon the Barnes & Noble at Derby St Shops, I came to realize that I had somehow been mentally convinced that there were no more open locations. So this was a pleasant surprise! Nice and spacious with a well decorated children's area and a Starbucks on the right. Stop on by and peruse some books!

    There is much more than just paper in here. In fact it…read moreseems that this is a store with many mini shops within it. A lot of the merchandise does center around "paper" like cards, gift wrapping accessories and stationery. However that turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Some of the other things they have include Vera Bradley merchandise, costume jewelry, the very fun Alex & Ani bracelet collection, some women's clothing, candles, children's toys, books, local Massachusetts items, home decor like Mariposa and plenty of other things that can be attention grabbers. It's crazy how I can get myself caught up in here looking around. It's hard not to find a little something to buy myself or something as a fun gift for a friend. Ironically I suppose, I don't love the card selection as they Hallmark which are not my favorite. Last year I purchased a Vera Bradley carry-on tote for a trip I was taking. It's a travel bag I've come to love. Not only is it pretty (VB fabrics can be really eye-catching) but I can fit so many things into it and because it's "soft-sided" it's easy to stuff into an overhead bin on a plane or even under the seat. Contrary to another review which said returns are difficult, I found it quite easy to exchange an Alex & Ani bracelet I received at Christmas. I had gotten two of the same bracelet and they happily let me pick out another even without having a receipt. If you sign up for their rewards program, you will regularly receive coupons and a special treat in your birthday month. Nothing too precious here, just some happy shopping in a large, clean, friendly store.

    Most comic book stores don't really have enough flash for the specific collector…read more These days it seems that most comic books stores are just collections of graphic novels Which if you like that more power to you This place had it all! An absolutely first rate selection of graphic novels, as well as a comprehensive inventory of back issues from my own poor childhood And these are getting harder and harder to find (there was a lovely one in my hometown in indiana that is no longer there. Paperback paradise we miss you.) But I found many things of interest here, including some items of purchase When I review most comic books stores, I'm usually talking about the things they don't have versus the things that they do This place had it all !

    I haven't read a comic book in probably 15 years. But when I saw an image of Daredevil #1 (image…read moreattached) I thought I'd change that. After all, once a week, I'm at the public library close to this shop, so why not give it a shot? The exterior is really not much to look at. But under the heading of "don't judge a comic book by its cover" (see what I did there?), I ventured forth. In my youth, this would have been an absolute mecca for me. I would have *begged* a parent to take me here and blown the entirety of whatever allowance I had while here. Their selection is fantastic. I intended to buy DD #1 and walk out, but I left with far more because of their incredible selection and my weak willpower. If you're in the area and are a fan of this type of thing, I highly recommend you deal with parking challenges and make your way to this family-run shop

So this store location was stocked up with all the goodies today... pleasantly surprised! Their skincare section has LOVELY, stocked with many K-beauty brands (CosRx, haruharu, anua , innisfree, beauty of joseon, laneige) AND the hello kitties I was looking for. Earlier today, I had found a frankenstein kitty (only one left) and I was in shock when I saw that they had 4 frankenstein kitties here! ALSO, I FOUND THANKSGIVING TURKEY HELLO KITTY HERE! I left here, a very happy gal. This was my 5th hello kitty today and I am glad I found it ;)

Sneaker selection is pretty small and brands are limited compared to some other similar competitor stores. This location is usually organized and pretty clean. Bathrooms are to the back right of the store all the way in the back by the kids toys section. The clothing is organized by sizing racks and by type. I.e. tee shirt aisles, dress shirt aisle, suits / sport coats, shorts, jeans, athletic wear. They also have furniture, home goods, some luggage, crafts, and toys / bags/ backpacks, some beauty care and the cheap end cap charging packs cables phone cases and random tid bits and snacks.
