As bookstores go, the name gives it away. This is one of the biggest that you'll find in the city. Several floors choked with novels and magazines from various genres are all on offer. This is not in any way to be confused with any other sort of multi-story franchise bookstore. The sheer volume of books on offer puts a strip-mall Chapters to shame.
As soon as you go in, you are faced with the latest published works of whatever's on offer or a particular seasonal theme ("Great Winter Reads", "Cottage Reading", that sort of thing) that typically will have something that interests pretty much anyone. Turning in any direction, you see stacks and stacks of, well, stacks. I can literally spend hours in this place, going through all of the different genres and seeing what's offered in each. The 'Fiction' section alone takes up acreage consistent with that of a typical medium-sized bookstore. It truly is awe inspiring.
I was thinking that I might deduct a point since they don't have a nice quiet place to read a particular selection before you purchase it. I usually find a spot on a staircase or something and could be persuaded into a chair pretty easily. Then I thought, if they did that, I'd probably still be there now.
