Welllllll... what's there to say?
it's Barnes & Noble. They're all the same. There's not much character. This location's set up kind of weird, with the street entrance opening right into the DVD section. I'd think that's kind of a bad idea, what with grab & go shoplifting and all, but hey... it's not like Tempe Marketplace is an example of great planning, anyway.
I feel kinda guilty for frequenting a chain when we have such cool local bookstores (Changing Hands, Ash Ave. Comics), but:
1. My boyfriend works here, I like to stop by and see him. Awwwww.
2. They're open later than Changing hands (11pm), and they have better seating... conveniently located next to the graphic novel section.
3. Since they're an Evil Corporate Machine I don't feel bad about sitting there for 3 hours, reading books without buying them. *shifty eyes*
