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 Mr. and I stopped in to browse, hoping to find a few titles by Donald Goines, and ended up flipping through some great historical books about local cities. We didn't buy anything this time, but it was still a really lovely visit. The atmosphere was quiet, cozy, and inviting -- exactly what you'd hope for in a bookstore. And the staff? Kind, helpful, and present without being intrusive. Whether you're looking to pick up something specific or just want to get lost among the shelves for a bit, this B&N is a great place to spend a calm afternoon.

While they didn't have the planner I typically get, you can't beat a $7.00 deal for sure!

In the other half of this big store, you'll find Weirdsville, run by Lisa's husband Dave. There you'll find loads o' records, wonderfully creepy collectibles, guitar repair, and more! They host movie nights benefiting the Humane Society and other fun and interesting events, and are just a great destination spot to check out in downtown Mt. Clemens. I love this place-a true gem.

All of the possible classes are listed in their website. I would be hard to pick a favorite class. Each of the classes is taught by a different artist or expert in that class. There are 2 different areas where the classes are taught one in the back and one in the middle section. The website has a description of each class that is offered as well as the requirements that you need to bring for the class. The ability to walk out with a project that you learned how to make is priceless. I highly recommend going to a class at My New Favorite Thing or just going shopping. Local artists each get a section to display. I will be going back for more projects.

They have a HUGE selection- everything from hardcovers to cookbooks to contemporary reads. The store is organized by genre so it's pretty easy to find what you're looking for. If you have books that you bring in to trade, they put some credit on your account which you can use to buy books. This is a great concept that encourages more reading and is eco-friendly. It's rare that I have time to read for pleasure anymore, but I've picked up a few titles that I'm looking forward to reading during these cold winter months curled up on the couch with a hot cup of tea in hand.

When I get I chance I…read morelike to road trip to Sandusky, OH to BAM because they still have their coffee shop, Joe Mugs, and I really enjoy a bookstore with a cafe. I have not been to particular location book store for decades, but the moment I stepped through the door all of my Border's Books memories came flooding back with all the good feels and all the good vibes. I really missed coming to a place like this. Like Border's they have some great deals, fun products, and a nice selection. The kids love manga, and they had a nice section. A very helpful and enthusiastic worker helped them find some books and had a lengthy and fun conversation. I simply enjoyed walking around hunting some good finds. Since I am big into holiday shopping, I was excited to find fun books and trinkets. Plus, anyone who has listened to the news lately and has gone to other big box shops, there is a bit of a toy shortage and they seemed to have plenty of good ones here. But I was informed that they do not have their full stock of books and items due to the current shortages. For me the only reason this establishment does not get five stars is due to a lack of coffee shop. I miss the full experiences, but if I remember correctly, this location never had a cafe. Since I am very big into coffee, I would have frequented this store more if there was a spot for some caffeine and snacks. But now that I have seen what they do have to offer, I am sure we will stop by again soon.

Books. Books. Books…read more I'm slowly getting my momentum back when it comes to reading, and it was time I put a dent into my wishlist. I came here the other day specifically for Pete Souza's new book, which is hysterical and amusing after only three pages. I would've saved around 10 bucks had I ordered online, but I couldn't wait 3-5 days. The employees don't seem too high strung, and seem very eager to help you out, which is great because it can be annoying when it's obviously that you need help, yet staff just walks by you. When I initially entered the store the first thing to catch my eye was a mug. I end up picking it up, only to add to the 40+ mugs I already have and don't really need. In addition to mugs they're tons of gadgets, cards, keychains, ect... This store almost feels like a an outlet Barnes and Nobles meets Borders. Plan on return to do some Christmas shopping for friends/family who also loves books.
