I will say the organization does leave a bit to be desired. Like, yes, there is a horror section, but almost all of the used titles are shelved with regular fiction? Including King and Koontz?

They have a whole Starbucks cafe off to the side, which is always a lovely combo. Coffee & books? Yep, I'm there. Along with a wide sprawl of book genres, they have a lego section, puzzles and other board games, toys and fun things for the kiddos, and so much more. We spent probably close to an hour just walking around in here and enjoying it all, and it could've been even longer. The prices are still a little higher than is reasonable in my mind, but you have to expect that coming to a Barnes & Noble. They did have a few sales here when I came, though, and one was on some collector Harry Potter books which I couldn't resist. This is a great addition to the University Town Center area.

Kids have their own little table and chairs where they can sit and do crafts. There's also local artists selling work in one corner, and you can buy a drink and a snack. It's fun to just walk around and look for interesting old books. I found a jazz standard song book for two dollars. There are beautiful art and craft made from old books. They also sell vinal, DVD, music CD. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The parking lot is full on Saturdays because so many people spend their afternoon here, relaxing with a book. Educators get 10% off on Saturdays, which was a very kind gesture. Books are the best educational tool, whether they are new or old. This bookstore is truly unique, and I love it!
