Barnes & Noble has been a favorite place of mine for literally years. It is a place that I go to when I'm looking for books for various reasons. Sometimes it's for research. And sometimes it's just because I want a book on 1,001 pieces of information. Kinds paraphrasing the title of a book that I once bought. Barnes & Noble is a place where I can take my grandchildren and we can engage each other on so many different topics. And the Barnes & Noble staff is so amazing!!! I have lived in vaious states in the lower 48, and every Barnes & Noble I have ever visited has been an experience. The people are genuinely friendly and helpful. The truth be told, I have been to Barnes & Noble three times in the past two weeks and I'm currently waiting for a book that was just released. Barnes & Noble is my go-to place to just Be Still and let my mind and soul relax and enjoy the world through books.
