Very comfortable place to shop. I like having the chairs and benches to sit down to peruse a stack of books to decide on purchases. A good selection of specialty-topic books and diverse magazines available here, too. I also love the Clearance shelves. If you're looking for a gift, there are bags and wrap available as well as giftables which aren't books for those who love decor or gourmet foods.
The best spot is the attached Starbucks. Post-purchase you can curl up with a latte and read away an afternoon.
