    I really like the custom pens the Book rack has a wonderful addition to her amazing book store.

    Yumi is a very special business owner who cares deeply about her business and customers, her store is immaculate and very inviting. I recommend this shop highly!

    I went in looking for a Ursula K. Le Guin book this afternoon- unfortunately I had no luck but the staff was really friendly when I asked them about it. I ended up finding another novel anyway after looking around for a bit. It was fun looking through all the shelves they had. It's a small store but it is PACKED with used books (and a small section of NEW books) to choose from. They have everything organized into different sections; they had westerns, historical romance, general romance, young adult, sci-fi, war, non-fiction, kids, classics, you name it! There are a looooot of paperbacks of romance and historical/war novels, which I'm not personally into, but whenever I go I'm usually still able to find a contemporary novel I've been searching for. It's fun to hunt for used books in here! Plus they give you a bookmark with your purchase :) It's not my first time going to this store -- I grew up in the area so I'm well acquainted with it -- but I was surprised to not see many reviews on here for it. The store is really cute and needs more love- if you're in the area, definitely check it out!

    Great little bookstore to go hunting around for gems in. Came here to offload some of my books to clear up space in my bookshelf. She only takes paperbacks but I was able to get some store credit for them. Overall it's a cute/cozy place to trade books and see if there's anything new every once in a while.

    This place felt so nice and the lady who ran the store was super helpful and kind. She answered questions and even told me about a sequel to the book I was getting that I didn't know about

    Lady hung up on me after telling me that they do not buy books. Information elsewhere says they do, so that is alos false advertisement.

    Tiny, only paperbacks. Was hoping for more. Staff was friendly, though. Why are there no good bookstores anywhere near the IE?!

    I am a huge fan of reading books…read more I listen to audiobooks when I work out in the gym or go for my daily walks instead of listening to music; however, I truly appreciate the feel of holding a book in my hands and turning page by page to really get into what I am reading. This is the reason I enjoy visiting this bookstore. I can be selective in whichever category I wish to purchase and read at the moment. I also have a paid membership to their discount program, which offers various benefits, including discounts on my purchases. This store is always fully stocked and well-maintained, and its employees are friendly and ready to assist customers with whatever they need. The selection of books and topics to read is endless, and they even offer a clearance and discounted section at the rear of the store. As for me, I have, and will forever, love being around books, which is why I will remain a loyal customer.

    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!
