“Unfortunately, the Barnes & Noble at Stamford Mall is scheduled to close this summer. As of February 1, the Mall location is a B & N clearance store. Never fear, the B & N on High Ridge Road has / is going to serve in its place.”
“Besides them opening on Sunday at 11 everything else is awesome about this place. Seriously though, the weekend is when most people can make it. Why not open at 10 at least?”

“This is an independent bookstore with a friendly staff. I am a fantasy reader and that selection was not that big, but they have a lot of fiction and a beautiful children’s section!”
“The choice of books is important and pleasantly displayed. The women very helpful,advice,ordering a special request,holding books if necessary,very helpful with children. A place I look forward to visiting each time I come back to Darien. I'm going home with 2 books.”
“So happy to have accidentally found this gem! One of the loveliest and best-stocked locally owned bookstores ever. Diane is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and contagiously enthusiastic about her books. Her staff is very welcoming and friendly too.”
“Love me an independent bookstore and Arcade Books does not disappoint! Beautiful, clean and organized store, with a fantastic selection (especially of paperbacks)! I definitely recommend popping in if you're in the area. The owner is very friendly and has been running the business for 35+ years. They can also order books for you if you're looking for a particular title that is not in stock.”
“I love this store! Awesome selection of books of all genres and such cute collection of gift ideas! Especially love grabbing a coffee and sitting upstairs in the sun reading my book! They have lots of events too. Managers are so accommodating and friendly. Definitely recommend!”
“Great local toy store , big selection and nice staff . Nice that places like this still exist in the Amazon age . My twins had a great time at the Sunday Pokemon tournament.”
“This bookstore is in an universe of its own. Each genre was like a world you could escape into. It multi-leveled and maze like. I really enjoyed the local selection San Franciscan books and the children's section. The children's section consisted of books that I would be able to find elsewhere. Not you typical Eric Carle or Dr. Seuss.”
“Great medium sized bookshop with a pretty large children’s section, great card selection, nice gifty items and of course adult books as well. Friendly staff. Love a good independent bookshop!”
