This is a great Barnes & Noble - as seems to be pretty consistent with the locations in the Phoenix area, which is great! Clean and organized. Friendly staff. The surrounding area is a bit hard to park in and you may have to walk a little bit from parking spot to shops, but not really a big deal to us.
They always have fun things in the up front discount section - perhaps a place to look for those upcoming Christmas gifts?!
Overall: A
I find it hard not to like most bookstores and Barnes and Noble is no exception!
