This store has really undergone a transformation in the last 2 years. The horror section has…read moreincreased, and now they have a specific area for store employee recommendations (huge fan of this). The staff is always helpful and friendly. My one complaint is that the staffing isn't always what it should be. For instance, it takes 1-2 weeks to get the new magazines out on the shelves. This is in no way the staffs fault. They just don't have the appropriate resources necessary. You can get a 10% discount with a paid membership. For me it was a no brainer.

I've always liked this Barnes and Noble. It's welcoming, clean and refreshing inside…read more Lately we have been coming to the story time on Saturday mornings. The last few weeks, a sweet girl named Annika has been leading the story time. What a wonderful heart she has. A genuine, sweet energy. She reads with enthusiasm and engages the children kindly and with patience. She really makes it special for everyone in attendance. Annika, if you see this, your effort is noticed and deeply appreciated!

Stopped by yesterday morning--found a linguistic hardback book about the evolution of language and…read morewhy colloquialisms are significant for generational communication; and a fiction book that looked intriguing. Hardcovers are now $6 and paperbacks $4, which is more than at a general thrift store but then again this nonprofit has a good cause (sending free books to prisons) and a better selection. What used to be the $1 shelf outside the front entrance is the donation shelf where you pay what you can. Hopefully that'll actually make people more generous. In any case, I'm just so glad there are people who still read!!! ;)

I was going to go to AAA tomorrow when the office was open to get a map but then wondered if maybe…read moreBarnes and Noble had one? I walked in and went to the international travel section and saw travel books but not maps. On the off chance that they might have them, I went to the customer service desk. April quickly looked it up for me and walked me over to the other side of the same shelf, straight to the laminated map that I was looking for. Thanks, April! And thanks staff person in front who helped me out! I like everything about this Barnes & Noble, especially the people working there, but can management do something about the dingy old bathroom? It's convenient but also needs an upgrade in a major way. Anyway, I'll keep coming here in any case for the aforementioned reasons.

This store is a little hidden gem in the corner of the San Gabriel valley…read more I needed invitations to an upcoming summer event, and something a little bit snazier and with a personal touch than what you buy at the greeting card stores, but not as ridiculously expensive. (My parents were getting remarried for their anniversary). Thanks to the Yelp reviews I drove to this small store, and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere of Periwinkle. * This place was the best of all worlds for me *: - A truly new shopping discovery, as I do not buy a lot of paper products - Hints of quality vintage material, which I am appreciating as I get older - That sense that I am getting a great deal on stuff that would normally be a LOT more expensive elsewhere. (let me translate that into shopping-speak: Prices are SALE PRICES elsewhere!!!!) - Great personal service by the staff, who were eager to help me make style and color decisions without pushing or up-selling anything my way - Bringing back that childhood joy of watching my own product come together before my eyes, done by my own hands. Like crafts shop, but at an adult, professional level - And did I mention the staff was helpful? I felt more like I was at a friend's house working on a project than at some store with a body minding the counter waiting for the clock to hit quitting time. I kid you not that I felt giddy in the store, and wanted to stay long after closing time to come up with different and new ideas of things to create and add to my parents wedding (and my own home.) When I got my final bill for my sale, I could not believe how much I had saved. It is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. Needless to say my family has been surprised by the quality of the invites, and I am very pleased with my experience. I am looking for any excuse just to go back there and work on something again.
