While I'm picking them up, there is interesting shopping to be done here. The staff is kind and attends to their duties. I got a phone call about all the books right on time. They tossed some Regulator Bookshop bookmarks in there, which some of my recipients will enjoy and some will wonder about.

The store itself feels small, but manages to stock shelves upon shelves of vintage and used books, photographs, maps, postcards, and more. I managed to find a pocket copy of a French essayist on my last stop (c. 1880s, excellent condition, priced at around $12 if my memory serves me correctly), and picked up a few postcards from the 10-25 cent section on this trip. My little brother has also succeeded in finding two Doctor Dolittle books at W&L--fairly good finds, since they are now out of print and only found at used bookstores. Both were priced lower than a modern hardcover from a larger store, and were in excellent used condition. Besides, the local history section is a great place to learn more about Durham. Undoubtedly, you can get similar books for cheaper prices off of Amazon or by digging through enough book sales. Stores like W&L are valuable for the atmosphere, as well as for the ability to find rare or out-of-print books that are missing from other locations. (Rare books don't need to be pricey, either--my dad found a nice vintage copy of Waiting for Godot for only a few dollars.) Besides, W&L provides such great selection of other antiques, including beautiful fashion prints and photographs dating back hundreds of years. It's always hard to leave without purchasing one... or two... or a whole box!

The prices are high but they offer Lululemon, Champion, Cutter and buck so you will find something that fits your budget and needs. I love blue so Duke has it over my schools colors which is Green and Gold (ugh).

Book selection is vast and surprising this Barnes & Nonle follows the old format of Barnes & Noble from at least 10 years ago which I liked. The new store formats are easier to find books but this was sorta nostalgic. I did find the Sci-fi writer I was looking for - David Webber. I like this "old fashioned" Barnes & Noble. Value?!? If I want a book I will buy it no matter what. I only bought drinks and desert this time as I am working on a few books right now. Still, you can find what you want at this Barnes & Noble! Just a great selection of full priced books or discount ones as well. Worth going to if you are in the area.

I used to go to this Barnes & Noble a lot to chill and devour books while enjoying coffee from…read moreStarbucks, but my most recent visit was one of the most disappointing bookstore-venturing experiences I've had. First of all, the cafe was too packed; they seemed to have change the seating arrangements, and there's not enough seats to accommodate more customers. Compared to the Barnes & Noble in Cary, this location lacked seats outside of the cafe area, so most of the people who want to just sit and read a book are left with no option but to find an open seat in the cafe area or in one of the uncomfortable "benches" in front of the magazine stand. Another annoying change: the restrooms now require a code to enter (probably to avoid unpleasant guests from trashing the toilets, which is understandable). When I asked an old guy at the customer service for the code, he wrote it down for me but the lack of friendliness and helpfulness of the employees make this shop devoid of the kind of warmth you find in other bookstores. None of them asked for what I was looking for or greeted me when I passed. As for the overall value books, it's the same story for every Barnes & Noble: I just don't see a smart reason to purchase books here over purchasing books on Amazon because of prices here are significantly higher compared to buying online. I ended up leaving right away. This location should learn from the Barnes & Noble in Cary when it comes to overall ambiance and customer service.
