Pros: They open at 9am (an important factor in the summer when it is 110 degrees out). They have a wide selection of books and magazines. They do have a Starbucks coffee next to the magazines. They have a large selection of reduced price books.
Cons: THEY ARE LOCATED IN THE AWFUL TEMPE MARKETPLACE (YECH). The parking lot is insanely scary and if you don't get there when they first open you probably will have to hike a long distance to your car.
The CD/DVD section is overpriced. It is difficult to find an employee to help you if you have questions.
Bottom line: Our family rarely goes there due to its unacceptable location at Tempe Marketplace. We would probably visit weekly if it were anywhere else within 2-3 miles of our Tempe home.
