“This place is a great place to get books at a good price with knowledgeable people that help you out with recommendations. I was looking for in depth books on industrial rev. history and ag. History and one of the persons was so helpful and pointed me to books that were truly amazing”
“Seventeen of us were at Penn State for a group reunion. We visited the Student Book Store and I was surprised that most of the merchandise was priced lower than I expected them to be. The store personnel were friendly and kept the store in great order. If you're ever in State College, PA, stop in. I'm glad we did.”
“I really enjoy coming here whenever I need a break from the screen or just want to browse for a bit. This Barnes & Noble has a great layout—it’s big enough to have a huge selection, but it’s still easy to find your way around the different sections.
The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a bookstore. It’s quiet and relaxed, and they have plenty of spots where you can actually sit and look through a book before you decide to buy it. The staff is usually pretty helpful, too; if they don’t have something in stock, they’re quick to look it up or offer to order it for you.
The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is that the cafe area can get pretty crowded, especially on the weekends, so it’s sometimes hard to find a table if you’re planning to hunker down with a coffee. Also, like most big bookstores, the prices are full retail, but the experience of being able to browse the physical shelves makes it worth the trip.”

“Wonderful small bookshop. Not a huge selection, but carefully selected, and very helpful with special orders. Friendly staff. The kind of bookshop people write books about.”
