While still a corporate bookstore, this B & N is friendly and has a nice, laid-back vibe. Great magazine selection, cute and spacious Starbucks cafe inside, free WiFi, a nice Nook station, decent customer service, a great children's section, and tons of comfy seating throughout the store to sit and read a book/magazine or study. This particular B & N has an impressive selection of coffee table books devoted to cooking and decorating, as well as a nice mystery section. One thing I've noticed lately is the growing selection of vinyl records and the ever-shrinking choice in CD's. I like that and hope to see even more vinyl make its way onto the sales floor over time. Now, they're displaying new release and remastered re-release vinyl records in both the front and the back of the store. Wow. Vinyl is definitely making a comeback. One caveat- there's been a dearth of assistance at the Nook station unless you go out of your way to request it. That's kind of a bummer. The sales staff is always pleasant and helpful once they are on the scene, but getting someone to show up is the tricky part.

The selection of books was immense, and rotating seemingly endlessly with the addition of titles being added daily. The staff was knowledgeable, personable, and it was great to have a little chat about current reads with them. Prices are great, especially on the used titles, but the new ones as well. Walking in and seeing the shelves stocked from floor to ceiling with books was very inviting. It feels like a place where good things begin, and I will definitely be back to find my next read.
