Sometimes they run a BOGO sale and I was able to catch this on Mystery/Suspense Novels and hooked a Hitchcock! Can't beat snagging 2 books for eight books! Great deal! They even take books in on trade to boot. The ladies that work there were very helpful and we found some neat things. They even have a nice selection or rare and first edition novels.

I've been to the book dispensary twice now and I will say, I love how many different types of books…read morethere are. I do have some problems, though. Firstly, the latest time I went, there were boxes of books everywhere, making it impossible to get into most sections. The childrens' section is quite small. The service is ok, but they are very unorganised, they said they had a book that I needed for school but they didn't end up having it. Their book trade in system is quite sloppy, I gave them $200 worth of old books and they gave me $15 worth of book credits. the value is terrible as well. A very rough looking book about Athens, Greece that I bought was $25, originally $25.50. Other than that, I love the place, I just wish it had better organisation and value.

We both read our book for the month, come together with our wine, and charcuterie board then discussed parts of the book that impacted us in some way. Really exciting and fun, to not only highlight the book but just coming together conversing. I absolutely love Barnes & Noble! If you're a reader you know:) So if you're relaxing today, snuggle up with a good book from Barnes & Noble. They have great selections and I promise you will find a book that won't break the bank. Happy reading!

Many, many years ago there used to be a Woodhill Mall at this location. It was pretty dismal. Now…read moreit's the Shoppes at Woodhill, and it has a whole new vibe including a relatively new Barnes and Noble. And that turns out to be a bookstore with a lot of good things about it. First, it's big, spacious, clean, lots of seating spaces. Second, it's got a lot of books in a lot of genres. And third, and least important to us, it's got a lot of other stuff that isn't books -- things like gifts, etc. -- that add up to a store welcoming to visitors with all sorts of interests. Our primary interest is books, and we found many to like here. Unlike some BN stores, they carry a lot of classics in different publishing formats. There are large sections of popular fiction and nonfiction, and very appealing and diverse cookbook and mystery sections. We really enjoyed our visit here, and we appreciated the friendliness of the staff. We didn't need any help in our searches, but they are quick and efficient in the checkout. All in all, a very good experience, and we can recommend this store without hesitation.

Books are not cheap and can get pricey over time. There are lots of great options, but be warned the prices are not always on the items, and I had to search for them. The building is clean, and the lady was very nice when I came in and was able to direct me to the right place.

As I approached the store the first thing I noticed was the Communist…read moreCovid shot sign on the door. Next were the employees in face diapers, then I grabbed some of the books I was looking for and heading up the center towards the register, I saw all of these demonic books. As I was waiting to purchase my books, there were two young children and one of them picked up this terrible Covid doll and that was the end for me! I turned around, put my books back on the shelf and walked out, never to return to this store again! This store apparently loves to throw all of the Communist, demonic stuff right in your face!

They stay open late too which is a bonus.

When I got there, there were a few racks of used books, but nearly every single one of them were paperback romance novels. They were also priced at $4 or $5, nearly the price of a new one that doesn't have the cover/spine all mangled. For the entire duration of my visit, the two people there (owners?) carried on a conversation about which movies they were wanting to see, and the last episode of Oprah. Not once did they address me, acknowledge my presense, or inquire as to whether I needed assistance.

This little gem of a bookstore made my day. It was absolutely amazing. It is a queer bookstore…read moremeaning most of the books on their shelves have queer themes, but they really had a great selection with lots of different genres. It was really nice. It's very quaint and cozy and even has a little book nook for children. Oh and I can't forget that there also a coffee shop. I didn't buy any coffee, but it's nice to know if I wanted to I could. Now it is a little difficult to find as it is tucked inside this other building so just look for The Arcade building that has the Asian noodle restaurant. It's in that building down the hall. I absolutely cannot wait to go back. If you're in the area and you love a cozy little bookstore you've got to stop by. The staff are really nice and helpful. It was just an awesome vibe!
