“I live no where near this location but I sure will be marching my tail back there purely for the service I received today. I had 2 associates help me dig through the kids section for a very specific Pokémon book. One of the ladies was DETERMINED and she found it in the back ??!! Thank you for being so nice and helpful. 10/10”
“Absolutely love this store & the owner.
So sad they're moving away, but they said the store will stay under a different name, so here's hoping it has the same spirit.”
“Awesome store great freindly staff is bad place cus I can do some damage in account there they so much good stuff to buy .over 10/10 enjoy going Al the location”
“This store is amazing! They have lots of Bibles for all ages in English and Spanish. They have a variety of books ranging from devotionals to leadership to marriage & everything in between. They have accessories, apparel and jewelry too! Doubles as a gift shop with home decor and miscellaneous items.”
“I really like visiting Barnes & Noble and go as often as I can. The only 2 things I have problems I have are that one of the escalators is almost always broken and the restroom could be better. What I mean is that even though it’s convenient to have restrooms available, the women’s restroom at least is small, cramped, and constantly in need of cleaning. For such a big store it doesn’t make sense that the restroom is so small.”
“Great place to sell your old books and pick up a few new ones in keeping the cycle of literature alive and moving in these days of high tech stagnation that dulls the senses. And remember, a unread book is modern day tragedy.”

“Definitely the nicest shop’s I’ve been in. So much to look at. Staff was friendly.I’m sorry I didn’t take a photo of inside the shop but check out the outside of the shop. Just peaceful and beautiful.”
“The vibe in this book shop is phenomenal. Plenty of eclectic to classic options! I've also shopped online - process was user-friendly & book arrived quickly. Also love the chess board for the kiddoes. Great spot!”
“If you enjoy books, this place is a treasure. They have a huge selection of used books across just about every genre, and it’s easy to lose track of time browsing the shelves. You never know what hidden gem you’ll come across.
The prices are very reasonable, the store is well organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful without being intrusive. I also appreciate that buying used books gives great stories a second life while making reading more affordable.
Whether you’re looking for a specific title or just enjoy exploring, this is a wonderful bookstore that’s well worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“My favorite place to end each week. Pastor Rick is awesome, and his wife Cindy AMAZING.
I attend church as well as the yearly "Chosen" Women's conference and that is phenomenal. If you don't go to church, you may want to join us for the Chosen bc the Testimonies are life-changing.
If you are looking for a church- Summit is it, they are so excited to see you every week. They are all so inviting and loving. I've been to my share of church's but there isn't one like Summit. You aren't just a body, you are SOMEBODY here.
The little girls up front in one of my pictures just melted my heart, seeing her worship was breathtaking ❤️”
“I'm a Cardinal! I think the world of my school. lol! Go Cards! But realistically this is a great school. The level of support you get here is bananas. I love that I'm literally just a quick drive away.”
“During my visit to Trinity University, I explored the store and found an array of beautiful options. The staff members were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout my time there.”
“100000% recommend! Lots of treasures for amazing prices. Prices AND descriptions on almost everything! The lady that checked us out was so sweet and gave us water and treats! They are cash only but will point you to the closest ATM.”
“Service and attitude is always so great! From freshman year '21, to now an alumni (co '24), the store never disappoints! Happy to have found a nice alumni tee here. :)”
“Store is always great, and staff is awesome. Only issue I have is the stock of clothing options in a sisters school colors. Other students complain also. But do feel we should have our options in our colors and not in the colors of another college. Otherwise top notch staff and college bookstore.”

“If you are looking for a local Christian store in San Antonio, Texas then stop by and take a look at Jehova Nissi Christian Store small but with a Big Heart to Serve the LORD!”
“Super charming little book shop! Great horror section with Junji Ito books (my favorites personally). If you’re looking for a wide selection of manga they don’t have that. However, they have large political and romance divisions.”
