| - I feel like reviewing THIS Barnes and Noble is like reviewing any Barnes and Noble. I'm a book lover. Honestly, my books are like my children. So, going into Barnes and Noble is a great experience for me. The smell of the books. The lining of the shelves. The endless possibilities of expanding knowledge . . .
But I don't buy books from Barnes and Noble (it's just too expensive).
So, why do I go?
1. If I need a comfortable place to sit when on a wait at Burgatory.
2. If I am in dire need of coffee.
3. If I need to use the restroom.
4. If I want to sit and read a book while sitting at a cafe without buying the book/to sample a book (judge me if you want, Barnes and Noble is basically a nicer library).
5. This is BIG and should probably be #1 . . . This Barnes and Noble sells Cheesecake Factory cheesecake in its cafe. I will come just to this Barnes and Noble to eat cheesecake.
If you really are reading this review for some helpful information - their book selection is pretty good. Highly priced, but you can walk out of the store with your book as opposed to waiting for Amazon. So, if you need a book gift in a pinch, you will pay for that convenience. Also, if you're a purest who doesn't want to feed Amazon for the sake of the authors (how much better is Barnes and Noble for them, anyway??), you can pay the Barnes and Noble premium.
I find this store a little dirty, but the employees are nice!
