Whether it's a local issue, local event, or local author -- you are likely to find it at Novel. *their signed book section! It makes me so happy to find so many unique and special books all in one spot. *their gifts! They've got art from regional artists -- prints, jewelry, local baked goods, etc. That is probably the section we buy most religiously from and we are never disappointed! The quality of these items is fantastic as well. They've got socks with witty saying on them and all kinds of book merch that I love and want to buy every bit of it! *I would be remiss if I did not specially point out their toy section is my kids FAVORITE part of the store. *author visits! LOVE! Getting to meet your favorite author and have a photo with them?! Nothing like it. We've never had a bad experience with the employees at Novel and while there are good deals to be found throughout the store you will likely pay closer to full price for items throughout the store.

Well worth a visit to go through their VERY LARGE SELECTION of used & like-new hard-back &…read morepaperback books, DVD's & CD's at bargain prices. I visit 4 or 5 times a year & have gotten at least 30 "just what I was looking for" books & CD's from here. I am careful to buy only items that will be read or viewd more than once, or I would have to buy a new bookcase every year. Staff was quick to answer questions & give directions. May take half an hour (or so) to discover the ins and outs of the entire layout. Entire family should enjoy a visit. NOTE: The Germantown Library Friends Bookstore is smaller, but is my favorite library-related used bookstore in the Memphis area. I visit once or twice a week for all sorts of "modern" books & CD's at bargain prices, and for fine older books which often come up for sale. Have bought at least 150 books there this decade, some of which were absolute steals. It's a very inexpensive addiction.

They have a huge selection and I love coming here after work or to find something for a birthday gift. They have a huge and organized selection. It is volunteer based and the people who work here are so sweet. If you can't find a book you want they can put it down on a list for you and hold it. When it is donated they'll give you a call. It is also such a steal when everything is so expensive to either get your monthly free book or pay no more than $2 for sometimes completely new books. It's the best!

I was really disappointed with my experience at this bookstore. From the moment my friends and I…read morewalked in, the owner kept giving us nasty looks and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. It honestly felt like we were being judged and profiled for no reason. We weren't being loud or disruptive -- just browsing like any other customers -- yet we were treated with suspicion and disrespect the entire time. A bookstore should feel welcoming and inclusive, especially for young readers, and this experience was the complete opposite. I hope management takes customer treatment more seriously, because no one should feel judged or unwelcome just for walking into a store. she also has an eye problem maybe keep your eyes in the front of your head next time.

This review is specifically for the Starbucks café inside Barnes & Noble. The customer service here…read moreis some of the worst I've experienced. We stopped by to kill some time before our movie, and I decided to grab some snacks before we leave. The cashier who took our order was not very friendly, and not surprising either given past experiences here. After waiting for a bit, our bakery items still hadn't been handed to us so I went to check. One of the baristas (I believe her name was Courtney?) didn't acknowledge me at first and curtly asked if I had already ordered. I explained that we had a movie in 10 minutes and just needed our bakery items. Instead of simply grabbing them for me, she responded with a rude attitude saying orders are processed in the order received. I would understand if I had ordered a drink but I was just waiting on cookies and a brownie, something that takes zero effort to grab. The interaction could have been handled much better and unfortunately this level of service seems to be the norm here. That being said, aside from the unfriendly baristas, this Barnes & Nobles is clean and well organized.

This store is right across the parking lot from St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral and caters to Episcopalians and other Christians in the books and other merchandise they carry. I have to preface this review with the disclaimer that I am a Presbyterian Minister (Teaching Elder) and I love books. This book store has a nice selection of books, they even have a nice selection, albeit only one 6 foot shelf, of used books. The store is nicely laid out and they also have a nice selection of jewelry, gifts, cards, and even some music cds. The staff was very helpful and they give a discount to clergy. I would recommend this books store to anyone looking for books or Christian gifts.
