I really like the local Barnes & Noble bookstore. That is one of my favorite places to shop for presents for my family. My mother, brother, and sister are all avid readers, and we always give books to each other for Christmas and birthdays. So I’m always pleased when I come across a great source for Barnes Noble coupons.
When my wife and I go to Barnes & Noble, we can easily kill several hours there, browsing all of the great bargain bin books. My wife is always on the look-out for new books on crafts and new cookbooks. Often she’ll take a few books over to one of the easy chairs and look through them to see if there are any good projects or recipes that she thinks she’ll actually use.
We’ve spent plenty of time looking through the CDs and tapes in the music section, too. Their children’s reading section is designed to appeal to children, to encourage them to stay and read. It reminds me more of a library than a bookstore. I wouldn’t expect a bookstore to encourage people to stay and read and relax, but the atmosphere there really does exactly that!
And I always love the smell of the coffee brewing in the coffee shop!
