    The owners of this gem of a book store know so much about books and give the best recommendations, and the bread is fabulous

    Bought two used books here and the amount I paid went to the local Food bank. Owner is very sweet and caring. Great selection!

    A nifty record store in Montpelier that's absolutely worth the visit. I don't have a record player…read moreanymore, so I just went to browse the stacks & the swaggy merch. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection & the good vibes of the store. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a TPOB shirt for just $20. I saw it & knew immediately that it was coming home with me. I also picked up a Buch Spieler hoodie & I haven't taken it off since I bought it. I've worn it every single day since I visited. High quality, cozy, & downright cool. The employee was friendly & chatty - my favorite. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area (or even just driving by on i89) again. Support indie record stores!

    Welcome to our Saturday! We stop in weekly, usually on weekends. They have everything you could…read morewant from Adele, to amazing soundtracks, and of course old school vinyl! The guys at Buch Spieler are courteous, and so incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to all things music. My son loves spending time in here, and I cannot thank the staff enough for their patience and kindness with his questions, requests, and chatter! They don't just have vinyl! There are posters, cd's, coffee beans!, and awesome merchandise! For my birthday this year, my husband got me a new record player and speakers from Buch, and it is awesome! The sound quality of the speakers is loud, clear, and perfect. The system itself has great features and a nice cover to keep dust and wandering children's hands away from the vinyls! Keep up the great work! Buch Spieler is a treasure here!!

    I like Barnes & Noble. Big chain bookstores have their purpose just as indie bookstores do and…read morethis one serves its purpose. The children's section is nice and I often see kids in their reading and/or playing with the book related toys. They also have a pretty good selection of toys and with the closing of some of the area's kid stores, is actually one of the best places to pick up a gift for a kid. The size of the store is a huge plus. I like being able to wander and I like not having to trip over people to squeeze into an aisle to look at books. I like that I can look for a book online first and then have them put it aside for me. I like that there is a "Starbucks" in the store even though it is just a Starbucks-related cafe and not an actual Starbucks. One area where this store could greatly improve is the checkout process. They have a huge counter with many registers yet only one or two are ever open regardless of how many people are waiting. I also don't appreciate the interview process in which I have to partake every time I purchase something. I don't want to join the store. I don't want to donate money. I don't want to give you my email address. I don't want a Barnes and Noble credit card. Can you please just give me a badge I can show at checkout indicating that I've been asked these questions?

    I always enjoy shopping at B&N. My review is about their Cafe. We had a club sandwich and a…read moreblueberry scone. The sandwich was pre-made sometime in the past and frozen. The server warmed it up for us..or so he said. The middle was cold to the point I could sense ice particles. The scone was tasteless. Buy your books and leave..do not stop at the cafe.
