“I loved this little book shop. Nice stop on my book tour. They had a nice table set of “witchy” books and things. I enjoyed the atmosphere and meeting book people.”
“Had got a bible for a gift online and it didn’t have the name in it like it was supposed to have. They told me I could send it back and I knew being a few days from Christmas it wouldn’t ever get done. I called a place in rainsville ala and was told they would only put the names on it if I had bought it from them, that I might want to consider doin that. I said i will pay whatever it cost and once again same reply, not unless you bought it from us. So I found this place online and emailed them on Sunday, mid morning Monday i got a reply and it was. We would be glad to do it and it will only take a few minutes. So I drove to there location and was so taken by the kindness and care that they showed me. And less then 5 min it was ready and so beautiful. There store has anything and everthing you need and just the compassion and takeing time to help me just 3 days before Christmas was amazing. I left there with the Bible i had taken in and bought 2 kid ones and another adult Bible all with names on them for way less then I expected. And they definitely made a difference for me this Christmas. If everyone else would follow there lead this world would be a better place. I can’t thank them enough… God bless them always”
“We are going to miss the easy access at this placeWhen they move to up on the hill at the UniversityIt's going to be hard for local people that live in the community people to get thereI hope with the easy access the students will use it moreIt has a lot of variety of items in the store that can benefit anyone...!!!”
“I used to come to this ABC back in days at SAU. However, I do want to show love to this store because Gary and Noelle gave me touch notch service. I'm here in Atlanta and both ABC's don't have the Amazing Facts Ultimate Study Bible in stock so I did placed the order over the phone. May God Bless this store and the mission to spread the gospel.”
“Coffee, books, and a cozy spot. ☕📖 As a tourist, I loved the bookish tote bags— with literary quotes, book covers. They make good souvenirs because they’re practical but still very bookstore.”
Barnes & Noble is proving that physical bookstores aren't going anywhere. The retailer just opened three new locations across Texas and South Carolina, marking another step in its comeback story. Barnes & Noble opened 57 stores in 2024 alone - more than it had opened in the entire decade from 2009 to 2019. The company isn't slowing down either, with plans to open more than 60 new stores in 2025 and a goal of reaching over 1,000 stores nationwide in the coming years.
