It's such a refreshing change from the same old big-box store toys--everything here feels high-quality and thoughtfully chosen.

This location is in the Target shopping plaza, and getting in and out can be a bit of a headache. The traffic flow feels confusing, and drivers don't always seem on yielding, which makes the experience a little more stressful before you park! :((( Inside, the setup is pretty standard--nothing particularly unique compared to other Barnes & Noble stores. Prices also seem to be creeping up, and the "Last Chance" section isn't what it used to be, with fewer paperback deals and more generic selections. You need MORE sales and promotions!! I did leave with a book, but honestly, it also made me want to swing by the library next time. :(((

This review is belated, but I wanted to praise Li-Wei for being such an excellent store clerk! We went in on the Pokémon kuji and did fairly well. However, we tried to chase one of the prizes.

However, I think the more unique kujis are more expensive because they are rarer to find in the US.

My review is specifically for that Pokémon dealer in the far left corner when you enter the show,…read morethe one inside that little room. I met Vincent, and he recognized my kids and me - we're noobs when it comes to Pokémon cards and pretty much only buy $1-2 bulk foil cards for fun, and we've walked the floor maybe once before. Vincent is a gem of a dealer and human being. He gave my boys sleeves, and even $5 full alt-art foils at no cost. Needless to say, for any future Pokémon purchases, I'm coming to these guys first. They also had 6-7 binders full of great $1-2 cards and it's exactly what we're looking for. Ended up walking out with $20 worth of $1 cards, not including their gifts to my boys. I get it, we're not high-dollar spenders for this hobby, but these guys treated us like we were. Vincent and his team deserve all the business they get.

The one Star rating should actually be a meatball!…read more On Monday my daughter spent $260 to buy three books at California Book Exchange in Fullerton. On Wednesday a friend offered her one of the needed titles to use for the semester. On Thursday my daughter tried to return this $121 new book (in new, unused condition) and was told: No Returns! As of 9/20/13 Ca Book Exchange has various return policies and requirements listed on their web site. However the bottom of the receipt states "No Returns, All Sales Final". I talked to an employee who stated the No Returns Policy was "to protect them" ...whatever that means. He further explained that once you walk out the door with the book it is no longer new. I talked to the owner who was very fluent at grunting in some foreign language ...mostly inaudible. All I could really get out of him was that he would buy the book back at the end of the semester, then he walked away. (Of course, buy the book back at the end of the semester means at the used book price ...about 1/3 the price he just sold it for) Conclusion: This place has a very limited / nonexistent return policy (depending on how they feel that day) Unless you are into self abuse, enjoy a sharp stick in the eye or are into other forms of self Mutilation etc ...don't step foot in this dump. However, if you want to learn about bad business ethics this could be a good field trip for you! My Advice: Plan ahead, get on line to buy and sell your books Without a consistent return policy there is no reason to patronize this poorly run business. Reasons to NOT Use California Book Exchange in Fullerton: a) You have a choice of book vendors on Craig's List, Amazon, E-Bay or Barnes & Noble. b) Online is far more competitive AND cheaper. c) Shipping is often included, if not, it is very cheap to ship with USPS book rate. d) If your books come from out of state you will not have to pay sales tax. e) AND ...most of these outlets REQUIRE their sellers to have a return policy.

We went into the store on Saturday and there was one person working who was helpful at helping you find your books. Never explained store policy on returning books, sales are final, what there hours were or nothing. Just wanted to sell you books. Well ended up not taking the class. Called store on Monday to find out if they were open, so I could take the book back. No answer. Could not make it to the store till Thursday and the gentlemen said I can not take this book back you only 1 day to bring it back. Told him you never said that, he said yes I did and I explained to him we called. He explained what his hours were 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Told him there was no way to make it there before he closed due to work and school hours. He said thats not my problem that is yours. He said that is our policy and it is your problem we can not take the book back. I would never suggest anyone go in there to buy anything. Very, very rude people and do not know how to run a business. You can save money by going there but it is not worth it. Bad service, not friendly, rude there is nothing good about this place.
