    Cool little place. Good selection of drinks, snacks and magazines, they even have some basic house…read moreneeds (toilet paper toothpaste), saves me a drive to the grocery store.

My friend and I came here last night to get magazines for a vision board and while grabbing the magazines, I noticed all the prices were missing. At first, I didn't pay too much attention until I came across one that had a price written over ($8.99) what was white out. Confused, I scratched it off and noticed the printed price of $7.99. I went to the other magazines I grabbed and noticed the other ones had white out over the prices too. I went up to the guy working and confronted him about the pricing. He could not even look me in the eye or provide a good excuse as to why he would be upcharging magazines. He said he can give me a discount on all the magazines. For the originally priced magazine, the register marked it as $9 something before taxes, he offered some slight discount. I said no. This isn't right. No one upcharges MAGAZINES. I had maybe 5-6 magazines in my hand. Easily $60 worth of business he just lost. Don't come here. Go to the nice lady who owns the newsstand at the farmers market at the Grove. She was so sweet and kind.

    How is this Barnes & Noble real!? It's not a regular ol' Barnes, not at all. They have nearly daily…read morebook signings with authors and various celebrities, ranging from martial artist superstar Jet Li to Bravo-librities Dorit from Real Housewives of 90210 and Reza from Shahs/PersianValley to confusing Hills Villian Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt to life guru Mel Robbins to local Koreatown classic Dumbfoundead to Kid Cudi, Tiffany Haddish, Christina Ricci, Kevin Costner, Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, Danny Trejo ~ I could go on and on... I love popping into these signings! They are not very expensive and it's a cool way to interact with celebrities that have recently put out a book. Even if you can't make a signing, they often have signed copies following an event for sale on the first floor of the shop near the displays in front. The toy section of this location will make your jaw drop. I was shocked they had such a huge selections of various types of toys but rest assured if you need a non-book gift for a child, you can find one here. Staff has always been friendly! The store is always incredibly organized and clean. They have everything you could possibly want in a mega-bookstore here. Did I mention they even have a cafe that serves Kraft Macaroni & Cheese? Weirdest and most amazing things ever occurring at this Barnes.

Let us have our moment, especially when it's an event with low attendance. Maybe save the rudeness (or unnecessarily strictness) for bigger events? That extra 5 seconds would've made my experience really special and positive. Unfortunately, she's a Karen. Please stop having her take our photo ops IF she's just going to hover, interrupt, and be rude to paying customers. I miss Rachael (the previous Events Manager) and even her predecessor! They were never rude to me and were always understanding and considerate. Thanks for tainting my memory from the event today and ruining my whole experience! You look like you would be a nice person, but you're absolutely not. Please don't taint the B&N brand and just try to be a kinder and empathetic person! B&N, please stop hiring (or training) mean girls! Also, the brunette book seller is also nasty. I had a terrible experience with her at another event. Those two ladies deserve each other. I should be calling out their rudeness in front of the talent, but I don't wanna embarrass them. Shame on them!

Even though the neighborhood has become a bit more higher in crime rates, this place tends to still somehow offer great customer service and dodge all the everyday craziness.

Yeah. Sure. What they don't want you to know (actually they do, they have glass cases full of them) is that they also sell "CONCERT AIR" DEVICES! Oh yeah, they got em all here. Those damn "concert air" containers! They've got big ones, small ones, unbreakable ones, tye dye looking ones, fake Sharpie looking ones, fake cigarette looking ones and even pretty zebra striped flower ones!! I'm tellin ya, if you want a glass holder for your "concert air" to "hang out in" until you take the "souvenir shirt" in, "try it on" for a bit and then "toss it back out into the crowd," then this is the place to go! Much cheaper than other "concert air" holder selling places and the guy behind the counter is cool...or so i hear, since I NEVER go to CONCERTS!

    Please come here -- it's an amazing experience. They sell stuff that one would find in a landfill…read more Old beatup VCR's go for $40. Used, re-shrink-wrapped books on sale for more than the cover price. And my personal favorite -- headshots of random failed actors. Some of these go for an unfathomable $10. My friend asked if these prices were in Yen, at which point the cranky owner picked up his phone and started screaming "Security!" Hilarious! We walked out of the store laughing hysterically. They advertise that they sell mushrooms and Salvia, but I'm pretty sure this place has to be a cover for something non-legal that goes on in the back. It's the only explanation why dirty, used kitchen appliances sell for twice the price of a new one. There aren't enough martini's on the Boulevard to get someone drunk enough to actually buy anything here. This place is best enjoyed in the midst of a bar crawl or Sunday Funday. Have a few, come here and laugh your ass off. Just don't touch anything -- the owners will scream at you and then call security. On second thought, touch everything you see. It only adds to the hilarity!

    This is one of the most underrated shops in Los Angeles. Anything and everything you never knew you…read morewanted from back issues of every magazine, strange VHS tapes from another dimension and a red and green device that lets you communicate with alien artifacts (ask the guy in the back).
