“I am from out of state and wanted to make a specific order of signed books, and they were so very helpful. Being out of state I accidentally called at an off hour and forgot to take time zones into account, and they still took the time to assist me with my order. Because of their help, Christmas for my now fiance was a success - and he's loving his new books!”
“What a fantastic book store! They ship books, so if you don't have room in your suitcase, you can still buy from them. The employee I interacted with was so sweet and helpful! If I'm ever back in Livingston, I'll shop here again for sure!”
“We traveled via road trip from Vancouver WA to Southern Montana for a family vacation. One of my favorite movies of all time is A River Runs Through It so I had been spending my time traveling the surrounding areas and taking shots of the filming locations. Livingston was my last stop and I snagged a photo of the church from the film, went and grabbed lunch, and then we discovered Wheatgrass Books. Upon entering the store the first thing I see is a table of books near the door with a sign highlighting to read the book before seeing the movie. Many Odyssey copies were on there and they caught my eye as I’m looking forward to seeing the film in July. But resting right next to them, a single copy of A River Runs Through It. It felt like fate as I didn’t even think about the book until I saw it. Makes sense they’d have a copy but at the same time I wasn’t expecting it. I had to buy it. The Store Owner was very kind and built rapport with me around the film, even highlighting that an Opera was being made of it, which we both found kind of ridiculous but you gotta see it am I right? If I was here in September I totally would. Wheatgrass Books made the closing end of my trip a special one. Purchasing this book in Livingston MT will be a memory of a lifetime.”
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.
