Yelp.com Review - by Stan H.

4.0 of 5 stars. Aside from Amazon they have the best selection I've found on the peninsula. They have a very friendly and helpful staff and great deals. One star off because B&N doesn't sell used books.

Large selection

I like coming here to browse at all the new books and window shop. It's too expensive and I rather purchase used or online. Great thing is they let you hang out for as long as you want.

It's B&N!

They have a huge selection of books on both floors and I can spend a good amount of time just browsing around. If you need a book or just need to kill some time at the mall, this is the place to go.
