Rachel SchmitzJanuary 20, 2013Original copies of 19th century books for $7.50?! History-geek heaven.
Evan MacDonaldMay 23, 2012A really great collection of design/typography/art books on the 2nd floor.
Travel ChannelNovember 15, 2011This store boasts 18-miles of books. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
Sell your books in the back room! If they accept them, you can get either cash or store credit.
Employees, if you still wanna use plastic. Get a cash advance & be sure to have your pin#. Bank matches beat service fees. We need atms still though. Seriously.
Hint: excellent travel books downstairs, at cheaper prices than B&N!
Mike O'BrienMay 18, 2013Some really rude people running the book selling counter. Clean up your act.
DoraJuly 23, 2010The home of 18 miles of discounted books has an amazing children’s section on the second floor. Powered by ParentsConnect.com
Stephanie AllenDecember 25, 2015Go to the basement cashier for quicker checkout than the ground floor cashier!
Order your books on the website & pick them up in store the next day. Wayyy easier than trying to find something yourself.
Adam RauscherFebruary 22, 2013Don't come here look for a specific book. Wander here for hours and find amazing books you didn't even know existed.
Meaghan SullivanJuly 21, 2010You can spend hours here looking for the perfect book but with eighteen miles of books, how can you leave with just one?
