Finally an FYE back in Paramus! This one is easily one of the biggest in the state. Really clean…read moreinside with an easy-to-find layout. It seems they're using the newer store model that does away with the actual movie sections. The focus is clearly on pop culture merchandise with tons of collectibles, unique snacks, and of course apparel. There are, however, some Blu-ray's depending on the seasonal displays set up in the store. But the main demographic for this location is definitely collectors. With it being the newest location to pop up in the state, they've got fresh inventory so it's great to find things that have been harder to find in other FYE's or other stores in general. Definitely worth checking out if you've never been before!

Clean, large, large sized cafe, friendly service at this newish Barnes and Noble. While I like the…read moreidea of supporting a local business instead of a chain, B&N still feels better than an Amazon. When you walk in, you get a good feeling based on the store layout. There's adequate selection and recommendations throughout, as well as sections to browse in and plenty to catch your eye. The departments aren't super distinguished from each other which likely helps to maximize the number of products displayed. The cafe has quite a bit of seating so it's a good place to hang out. I like to look at BN sale sections but this one was rather limited.

We finally visited the B&N on Route 17 by Fashion Plaza. My husband and I stopped inside after work…read moretwo weeks ago. We started off walking around together, but split off and got lost walking through the store and checking it all out. The space is massive and has high ceilings. Plus, it's very bright and light inside. All the sections are organized and feature good visual merchandising of new arrivals and/or books on sale. There's a nice cafe area towards the back with ample tables and seating at the back left of the store. Throughout the store, there are also lots of comfortable chairs to sit on if you find interesting reading material that you want to preview or flip through. My husband said it best when he said, "Wow, there's so much to find - you could never get bored here!" I know that we will be back.

PROS: This place has vintage to modern electronics ranging from video games, computers, record…read moreplayers, stereos, pops, and cards. The blonde worker and her father are both nice while the father is knowledgeable about the markets and capabilities of all their items. CONS: This place is hidden within a storage unit which makes it tough to find. the store is also cramped inside and its somewhat unorganized. records, cds, video games, pops-- they're scattered throughout the store rather than having one section for each. The daughter of the owner also doesn't know that much about the merchandise she's selling. also their days and hours that they are open are minimal OVERALL: I'll come here again if I'm looking for nothing pop-culture wise, but i would make sure im the only one here and the owner is in

Sound Exchange stood out like a beacon in a storm--a storm of mediocrity. And Sound Exchange isn't staffed by a bunch of vinyl snobs, hawking $50 copies of the latest Taylor Swift.

Irv showed me at least 20 of these albums and he allowed me to remove from their sleeves to inspect. This was after he gained confidence that I knew how to handle records and would treat them with care. He told me that I was not allowed to mix and match records and sleeves and album covers. This is understandable from my experience, even if it's not what would benefit me the most. I found what I wanted however, and his $20 price for a double album is quite fair. If you are looking for something in particular you will find it here most likely. Enjoy the search!
