Go support your local bookstore! Transom just celebrated it's one year anniversary! They even currently have copies of the highly sought-after memoir by Jeanette McCurdy, which is sold out in most big box stores. There's something for everyone here. Including stickers, totes, pencil bags, and journals.

Great selection! Wonderful addition to Main Street. They also carry some fun holiday gifts for any book-lover.

What's not to love? This is a PHYSICAL bookstore. Please support it as one of the now few…read morebookstores (due to amazon). I've been visiting this business for years. Over that 10+ year time span, I cannot think of one complaint about this store. It's located in White Plains' City Center, on the first floor, next to Nordstrom Rack. Thus, they have a very large parking lot but like most garages, you do pay a small fee for your parking. If on foot, they also have a second entrance - A door on Main Street. I've often jumped out of the car while a friend parks, because of that door. They have a fantastic variety and stock of books. They have tons of magazines. There is a section that is well organized and full of discounted books. They also have quite a large area for children's books. The store is very well organized and maintained so their books are where they belong and the appearance is a tidy one. They also have a sectioned off area dedicated to all things music, although I have not shopped there. I also have only positive things to say about the staff and their helpfulness. They have a particularly nice cafe area. They serve all of Starbucks' drinks and coffee (i.e. lattes, frappuccinos, etc.). Yet, they don't sell Starbucks snacks and it isn't an actual Starbucks. They sell slices from The Cheesecake Factory and also an array of other baked goods. I love their lemon bars and rustic apple tarts. Because the cafe is part of Barnes and Noble, you can get your order discounted if you are a member of the store. I often meet a friend here, for coffee. It is rare to find the tables all in use. It's a way more laid back, and easily accessible, cafe, than is Starbucks. The barista/workers are always friendly and aren't doing things a mile a minute like at Starbucks. The cafe also sell ground bags of coffee, nice teas, Godiva chocolate, current and nice looking water bottles, such as those by Swell. There is a section of the store, next to the cafe, that is full of, for lack of a better word, accessories. It has a good amount of gift items (and items for yourself). It has journals and phone decorative pieces. They also have unique and pretty pens, pencase holders, laptop related items, just to name a few. During the holidays, this is where they have many festive items here. Please come! Shop! Let's not lose another bookstore!

First time in this Location very spacious. Great Barnes & Noble Jr for kids. A lot of great toys…read morefor those collecting. Anime and Harry Potter and even Lego collections. Cashier was very helpful even added as a new Barnes and Noble Member. Please join the free membership club for points there also a membership that does cost but whatever works for your pockets.

Barnes & Noble - He is into this Brave movie coming up. It's good that boys can have female hero's and girls can have male hero's. About time!
