The first floor contains new books and the lower level contains a small room of used books. I purchased 1 new book and 1 used book.

Next time, I will bring some books to put in their little free library that is right inside their front door.

I have a potential balance of decades behind me and before me. What the youth want should not dictate my wants. WordHaven, by definition of its name, is just that; a welcome place for writers, wordsmiths, and readers of "brick-and-mortar" books. We are a rare kind. We acknowledge technology, make great use of it, but realize our sweet spot is in its roots. That is why WordHaven is important. It offers you a human depth that technology and AI misses, if you dare.

Cutest bookstore ever! I had to stop by The Book Store when visiting Kaukauna…read more There are a variety of sections labeled with the best signage. The owner told me she made them from recycled cabinets- so creative! The store has a huge mystery, horror, and romance sections. There are some smaller self-help, history, sports, and biography sections. There is also a great clearance section with some blind reads near the front door. I also recommend you checkout the selections of bookmarks and stickers near the cashier. The bookmarks are made by local artists. The Book Store is a must visit for book lovers in the area and there are lots of cool eateries and pubs nearby too.

I loved how the bookstore's decore matched each section's nearby book genre. They had a good…read moreselection of used books. The cashier was very welcoming and clearly loved books from the conversations I overheard him having with customers. It took us a bit to figure out where the book's price was listed. They stamp it inside the book (usually within the first 5 pages) along with a date. I personally don't like when a bookstore writes the price using a permanent method. However, I know other people feel like it shows the book's life journey and appreciate seeing where a book came from.

Went to this store about two months ago with my wife who brought in a large bag of hardcover books…read more It had to have been 20 to 25 books in really good new condition. The older woman told us they normally don't do book purchasing on Wednesdays, but because it was our first time there, she would make an exception. She gave us instantly $10 credit and told us she would look over the books, and we would be getting more credit due to the quality and quantity of the books. We waited in the store which mind you was not busy at all. Just 2 other people checked out while we were there for over 2 hours. We had to get going and the woman (I believe she is the manager or owner,) said to just leave the books and we would get a decent amount of credit and it would be on her account when we returned. Fast forward to July 25th my wife called to see how much credit she had gotten since we had not been there since we dropped off the books. They claimed that she didn't have any credit left. They basically stole the rest of the books from us. I guess it was our mistake not insisting that they complete the credit before we left. I mean it shouldn't take 2+ hours to find out how much credit they would give her. Sure, if they had been busy, I would be more understanding. After they called her back and told her they overpaid her for her brand-new condition hard cover books, they hung up on her when she told them she was very displeased with the situation. Not only that but they had her contact information prior to today and she found out they simply donated the ones they didn't want instead of giving them back to her. This place is not trustworthy.

This review is for the Starbucks cafe inside of Barnes & Noble. While the young staff of the cafe…read morewas pleasant, I was met with a very condescending & rude employee that I can only describe as female, mid-50s, heavy set with glasses + salt & pepper hair. And this was after I had already spent nearly $14 in the cafe on a sandwich, dessert item, and triple expresso. The only reason why I stopped at B&N in the first place was that I didn't want the nearby KwikTrip coffee, nor did I want to drive a few miles into downtown Appleton on this day. I was fatigued, and needed a good caffeine burst right away. Enter Starbucks cafe inside of B&N, which was the nearest venue close to my hotel next to the Fox River Mall. After ordering my food items and required triple expresso (my gold standard) from an incredibly polite twenty-something college female barista, I get this sneer from Ms. Grumpy Dumpy from her table as she was apparently on her break. I smile, of which she never changes her expression. It was as if I had ran over her dog or something with the look she was giving me. I wanted to ask the friendly barista "WTF is wrong with Mount Rushmore over there?" I thought nothing of it at further, so I didn't make it an issue. A few minutes later, the second barista (twenty-something male) indicated that my food order as ready, I waited patiently as my drink order was being prepared by barista #1. Ms. Large Marge decides to end her break, walk over to the counter to assert her authority. Without even looking at me, she picks up my coffee, and says "Here you go", then proceeds to nearly throw it onto the counter. Sort of stunned, I'm thinking "What in thee hayle just happened?" I wasn't in the mood to make this an issue, since I was tired. In addition, the two younger baristas were in stark contrast to their manager, considering how pleasant they were to me. As I start walking away toward the exit of B&N while shaking my head in disgust, I overhear the rude manager say "Next time, don't give him so much expresso." I so wanted to tell her that I had a triple expresso, and that if she had paid attention in 3rd grade math class, the volume of three expresso shots would be a larger quantity than one traditional expresso shot. Altogether, this experience motivated me to seek out better coffee venues in Appleton, mainly downtown and close to Lawrence University. Thanks to the awful attitude that I experienced from the Starbucks cafe manager inside of this B&N, I'll certainly never return to the cafe again no matter how bad my caffeine urges are. This manager is definitely not management material. If you don't like your job, fine. Don't take out your job frustrations on the consumer.

"The prices are a little high for some items." As far as these things can be true, the store is great at finding generally what you want. You might not find exactly what you are looking for, but what store does. You don't get a lot for selling, but they are always buying books, movies, etc. Plus, you get cash for what you sell, never credit. You can find good deals on an array of media. The staff is also excellent; there might be times when they get short with you, but that is okay. They get all kinds of customers.
