We will definitely be back next time we come vacation here. This shop seriously feels like it came out of the pages of a book, stacks of books, full shelves of old and newer books! Also arm chairs if you wish to peruse your books before buying. There was nothing I didn't like honestly. all books are half price and there was an additional sale so great prices!

This is a review regarding their online store…read more For Christmas present, I got a friend two things for the university she will be attending soon: Arcadia University. The prices, with the frequent promotional discounts (often 15%-35%), are also pretty reasonable. I got a shirt that was usually $22 for $10. I placed an order for a tumbler, and received that within 2 days - 5 DAYS faster than their estimated shipping time! The shirt took the minimum estimated time, which was five days, and it is a very high quality shirt. I would definitely recommend this online store for anyone looking to buy college gear for a friend or family member. Keep an eye on the discounts too! They're great.

The closest used bookstore to my knowledge, has always been in Corpus;, and as much as we love…read moregoing to Corpus, nothing beats, going to The Novel Blend bookstore situated in the Heart of downtown Kingsville. I try to visit as often as possible but I definitely visit 3 to 4 times a month. They have best sellers as well as cookbooks, biographies, autobiographies, self help books, historical books, almanacs, not to mention countless other miscellaneous items. Any genre you can think of, they most likely have it, and if they don't, I'm certain they will find a way to get it.I cannot stress how affordable all these books are. I'm a David Baldacci fan and I don't mind paying full price for his books, but if I can find one with zero imperfections to the jacket or the spine or anything on the pages and it's five dollars for a new release you better believe I'm going to take my business to the Novel Blend bookstore. It also doesn't hurt that it's less than a quarter of a mile away from my house and it also helps even more than their prices, and their inventory is probably the most important of all of the charm this much needed and much adored, bookstore, holds, and that is the people who own and run this fine establishment. They have brought to Kingsville what we did not have, and I am so grateful for that, so thank you. Mr.& Mrs. DiFranchesca

I had a hankering for some more classic Tuscan cooking later that day and was looking for an authentic cookbook to satiate my craving (as Endless Pasta can be quite pricey). Luckily, Kailyn, a lovely employee at the store, aided in helping me find the perfect cookbook for my needs, authored by the wonderful Martha Stewart! Later that night, I enjoyed a delicious meal of rigatoni and meatballs just like my nana used to make! I am a big fan of Barnes & Nobles and will be back for my future cookbook needs! Big props to management, who hired such a helpful associate!

The staff also seemed very friendly and helpful. Please shop here!

I have enjoyed shopping at Redbird books for years. This week, however, I went in with my sister…read moreto turn in a box of books from my mother and a box of books from myself. My sister and I had both come from out of town to help our mother out. When we arrived, there was a sign on the door indicating that they could only accept one box of books per person because they were running behind on processing the books. Although we had more books to turn in, we attempted to submit only two boxes. The woman at the counter was not friendly or apologetic at all, and said they could only accept one box from the two of us. We pointed out that it was two separate people with two separate accounts, but she rudely said, "Still no." It is not the fact that they would not accept two boxes from two people that was upsetting. It was the fact that they were clearly not honoring the sign that hung on the front door. It will be a long while before I return, and I hope that employee is no longer there, as in the past, we have always had excellent service there.
