I came here recently with my husband because I had a coupon for 10% off any item, and he needed some new reading material. He was looking for some books on specific subjects but was unable to find them, the book selection at Borders down the street seemed better.
Barnes & Noble does have a large selection of magazines, we both found a couple items in that area we wanted. When we were about to check out a book behind the counter caught my husband's eye so he asked the cashier to see it... The cashier grabbed it for him and then proceeded to become extremely chatty. Too chatty.
One perk to this location is the Starbucks inside. Otherwise, I prefer Borders.
