Love this store! I could wander it all day. Make sure you check out the bargain books in the basement! They didn't have the book I wanted but I didn't leave empty handed. Plenty of wonderful options.
Quiet, clean, friendly staff, great atmosphere for studying. Cafe is awesome! Oh and there’s tons of books.
I could tell as I walked in that it was a Barnes and Noble but Tattered Cover has also retained it's uniqueness. Nice selection of books and helpful staff.
An overwhelming and thoroughly wonderful book store. Feels like a big old public library. Definitely the most staff recommendations I have ever seen, which given today's crowded book market was great. Had a pretty large TV & Film book section. Which I've never really encountered before. Found a handful of books there to add to my reading list. I know it's something of a chain, but as an out of state visitor it was a great experience.
Enjoyed visiting this book store and browsing the large selection. While I mostly stayed in the fiction and fantasy areas, I also noticed they had a cool assortment of books in a mythology section. One of the booksellers helped recommend books, and I’m excited to start reading those recommendations. My daughter and husband also enjoyed the children’s area in the middle of the store. It’s worth noting that this store was recently acquired by Barnes and Noble, per signs in the store.
