I love Barnes and noble. Opening the door and smelling new books just does it for me. I can browse and look at all books it’s just a relaxing experience for me in a cold hard world. I look forward to my time in a Barnes and noble. Hope they are around for a long time

We all love Barnes & Noble and we hope it continues to be there for a long time. The reading environment and the experience you get at Barnes & Noble is what makes it really special.

I have been an avid customer of Barnes & Noble for more than 2 decades…. and the reason is….. ( exactly just what you said)…. to touch and look and, read the back of any of those books that interests me… while I sip my favorite coffee at Starbucks…. and,…. feel the warmth of being around other people as well… yes,… it slowed down for some years in the past….. but here in Bakersfield, CA….. it’s been picking up soooo fast, for almost 2-3 years now…. I love B&N….. and lots of new generations….. are showing just the same enthusiasm nowadays…❤

I love Barnes & Noble! I go there 3-4 times a week. (I mostly go for coffee.) It's peaceful and quiet. On average, I buy one book per month. I purposefully moved to a new place so that I could be 10 mins walking distance from my neighborhood B&N.

By B&N has a huge manga and comic section. Glad they’re adapting to changing customers’ tastes.

[@alliec5515]

I love Barnes so much. I hope it’s around for a long, long time🤍

[@CaseyMarkov]

It's awesome that my recommendation got made into a video another video for you is Block Buster

[@rmmurphy]

Hope you enjoyed the video. Will add Blockbuster to the list!

[@Mr.Coffee20255]

I love B&N

[@nancysalgado1095]

I hope they never close

[@jasonpark1556]

I do, that way more independent small mom and pop bookstores open instead of giant conglomerates charging 2x what they sell on Amazon for

[@tooruoikawa8985]

You can thank Manga and Fiction section ;)

[@candyadams-frazier1759]

I ❤Barnes & Noble. The closest to me is 25 miles away. I still frequent it.

[@aceboogie50]

They shut down the one in my home town , sad to see it go it has been there for decades

[@lephilistin]

Great video !

[@EricMHowardII-yh1rn]

Will Barned and Nobel open a new store Near Temple University in Philadelphia Pennsylvania Location ?

[@nadinestapler3881]

Instead of getting up and going to a bookstore, people would rather buy books from Amazon. That’s one of the reasons I think bookstores may be closing.

[@jasonleetaiwan]

Criterion sale is the only time I shop at Barnes and Noble. I never browse the books much. Doesn’t make sense to pay more for books.

[@MS-un9zq]

THank God for Barnes and Noble.....I can read all the books banned in Florida...in a beautiful setting.....with coffee....

[@richardshagrin8565]

games and magazines. calendars. cards and magazines have replaced a lot of books.

[@David-TX59]

I hope comments help you.

[@susanburns4402]

Hmm maybe this can squeeze like GameStop.

[@rodrigokhan2744]

It’s about to short squeeze like GameStop.
