“Mostly secondhand books, games, movies, etc but a lot of it looks new. You can sell stuff to them and have the option for store credit. Their selection is massive and we found some really great things, even stuff we can't find anymore because it's older. Would definitely recommend browsing for an hour or more.”
“I had a really enjoyable visit to Barnes & Noble recently. It’s one of those places where you can easily lose track of time just wandering through the shelves. The store was clean, well organized, and had a huge selection of books across every genre you could think of. Whether you’re looking for bestselling novels, classics, self-improvement, or niche hobbies, there’s something for everyone.
One thing I really like about Barnes & Noble is the atmosphere. It’s quiet but not dull, and it feels welcoming whether you want to browse for a few minutes or sit down and read for a while. The layout makes it easy to explore different sections, and I found several books I wasn’t even planning to look for.
The staff were friendly and helpful without being pushy. When I had a quick question about where to find a certain section, they pointed me in the right direction right away. It’s nice to shop somewhere where the employees clearly know the store and are willing to help.
Overall, it’s a great place for anyone who enjoys books, magazines, or even just a relaxed environment to browse and discover something new. I always leave with something interesting to read and look forward to my next visit.”
“This establishment has done plenty to reinvigorate my interest in cómic books with Cobra Commander #1 by Image/Skybound. I could go into a detailed 5-star review of that brilliant update on a franchise villain, but that is another story. Whoever the cashier was between 12 and 1 on January 17, 2024 was also quite friendly and professional. After you are done exploring this place, go check out the neighboring Hibachi Chinese Buffet. They have a great deal for vegans with their avocado sushi and garlic-marinated eggplant.”

“This isn't a regular B&N, it's a University of Delaware Student Bookstore and School/Team Apparel store, plus a UD creamery location all under the Barnes & Noble name. The Apparel prices are ridiculous, but the non school books are priced at about what you'd expect at any other B&N, although the selection is limited because they have so much UD stuff. If you're going to a UD game and want foam fingers and beer cozies to to go with your UD hat and t-shirt, come here, the staff are students and they are all very polite and helpful.”

“I have been patronizing this store since I was a little kid and would buy penny candy. And, to give you a idea of just how long ago that was, my mother used to write me a note so that I could buy cigarettes for her. Those were the days!”
“Terrific community college located in Wilmington Delaware. I earned my associates in human services as well as drug and alcohol counseling. The internships were terrific. The teachers are top notch. The East Building of the Wilmington Campus is completely remodeled and looks great.”
“The Spirit Shop was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so nice and welcoming! It felt fabulous to be back to my high school after all these years! I'll be back to shop in the spring!”
“I walked in today, and wasn’t in the store for five whole seconds when a gentleman asked if I needed help finding anything. This kind of service is unmatched. He quickly pointed me in the direction of the book I needed for my course and made the process for me super simple. The lady behind the register was nice and friendly. Great job WilmU, you have an outstanding team at the campus store.”
“Fantastic bookstore with a huge selection of used books. Jen, the owner is super nice, I really enjoyed chatting with her. They do regular author events and book clubs as well, and they've got a nice selection of gifts like socks, chocolate, greeting cards, etc. A real gem in the Hockessin community!”
