Barnes & Noble

I love physical books and Barnes and Nobles is the best place to get them. The club membership for 25 bucks a year is a no-brainer if you buy more than a handful of books a year. I always get my money-back in terms of the discount offered by the membership. The workers all seems to be avid readers as well and this is great when looking for suggestions on similar titles. The close proximity to the movie theater makes this a great place to kill some time before a film or a place to stop in after a quick meal at one of the nearby restaurants.

1 star docked for the shrunken Resources wall [for technical knowledge]. I appreciate the layout of this store. From the STEM toys to the teen manga/novel section all the way to the Science Fiction section. I find the books appropriately shelved, the rotation is refreshing each week/month and the staff are friendly and helpful. I don't feel rushed and they're quick to respond and [if I remember right] pick up the phone. It's nice to know there's great service still available, especially in a brightly light and decorated bookstore. Update: Store had a nice toy selection. Employees helped me hide stuff I was buying from my son who was shopping with me. It was greatly appreciated and I'm glad that they had more of the rubber baby toys.

This one in particular has a wide selection of books as well as a cafe. It seems like a great place to meet with people for some starbucks. Especially when you have several meetings with large gaps between since you have a plethora of books to choose from. There is a section for kids, teens, adults with many well organized topics. It should also be noted that it is conveniently located in the Lakewood Town Center, so it is easy to spend a whole day here if needed.

Long live the book store! Going to Barnes and Noble fun for the whole family. They have a fantastic toy section and kids book area, my husband gets his obscure magazines, I grab a coffee from the cafe and peruse the whole store. Need to buy a good gift for someone hard to shop for? You can definitely find it here!!
