It's been years since I've stepped foot in this particular B&N location, but I found myself here…read morewhile staying with family in the area over the holidays. The good: the store filled an order I'd placed through the app quickly; the bad: half the order wasn't able to be completed because it wasn't actually in stock. I don't know if this was an app error or store error, but it was a bit of a bummer and now I'll have to visit another location for that item. My favorite section to visit as a crafter is Arts & Hobbies, which is on the store's left close to the stationery and gifts area. The cafe is to the right of the entrance. Fiction, sci-fi, and fantasy are toward the middle, while music and collectibles are located toward the back. Something to keep in mind, unlike the Long Beach and Del Amo/Torrance locations, Glendora doesn't have as substantial a bargain book and DIY kit section, which I like to frequent for my nieces. However, the kids' section is pretty sizable and can be found in the back left. This B&N is in the same plaza as Best Buy, PetSmart, and AMC theaters, so it can get busy although there is plentiful parking. I haven't tried the cafe at this particular location - maybe next time!

The owners, Brad and Jen, are truly amazing and love what they do. I inherited a lot of old books…read more(as in 20-ish bankers boxes full)- many rare and in good condition. They examined each volume and offered a fair price for the ones worthy of selling in their store or at book fairs. I learned many of the books were in good condition and very old, yet have little value in the current market. They advised me of where to sell other books in the collection which had little value, were not rare and/or in need of repair. Really nice folks. As a society we must support our local economy by patronizing our independent book sellers. Covina... you have a treasure!

I visited Vroman's Bookstore during a girls trip to Pasadena, and it turned out to be such a fun…read moresurprise. We initially expected a typical bookstore, but it's so much more than that. As one of the oldest independent bookstores in California, it has a really special charm. Inside, there's a wine bar, a coffee shop, and even a cute gift shop upstairs, which makes it easy to spend a lot of time browsing and relaxing. While I was there, I got to listen to an author present her book and answer questions, which added such a unique and memorable touch to the visit. The store was busy, and you could really feel how much people enjoyed being there. The layout is well organized, making it easy to find books by genre. Upstairs, there's a spacious children's section, which is great for families. I also loved the section featuring Orson Welles books and posters. It was a really cool and unexpected addition. Overall, Vroman's is more than just a bookstore as it's an experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

If you're looking, they even have snacks for your next read STAFF super helpful and friendly. If they don't know your book (they do), they'll ask a coworker who will know it and have all the extra details you didn't know to ask for. PRICE better than affordable: Supportive! (Readers and writers communities) SPACE There are a ton of accessible open aisles. Huge space outside (maybe for outdoor events?)

Scholastics was the leading authority when it came to giving children access to a cheap book. In the last year the moral has been low and I had to drop them. The woman that ran the warehouse I think her name was "Rachel" gave her very BEST for years! Clearly it showed that her heart was in the right place. That day came to a dead end when she "Quite!" The day she took off crying! That day was probably the saddest day ever for Scholastic's in Anaheim CA. Another woman behind the scenes as known as "Dorothy" gives nothing but her blood and soul to deliver only the best. I am compelled to talk about all these fine girls behind the scenes. That it is clear that not one is appreciated. Things have change for the worst in Anaheim CA warehouse. To the authorities of Scholastics Bookfair "You are doing a good job in destroying" this warehouse location. Basically you cut off the wings of your staff and blind folded their eyes. Now! If you can drive to the Anaheim warehouse to access books sales that is as fantastic as it realistically will get. Good luck!

The used books are generally in very good condition. They also buy books so bring in your old stuff and you might get lucky (we scored $15 which, of course, went right back to the store after we selected a bunch of stuff to buy). They have LPs and some CDs near the front. The CDs weren't great but the LPs are worth browsing. If you are looking for vintage pulp fiction or sci-fi, they have you covered. The prices are not cheap, nor should they be. I did find the prices of the new and used books to be very reasonable. For booklovers, put this one high on your list if you are in or near Pasadena. You could easily and happily spend a couple hours (and a couple hundred bucks) here.
