“A beautiful independent bookstore in NOVA with all the vibes you want as a reader/writer/general book enjoyer. I love the location and how they decorated. The layout allows you to browse different genres at your leisure; the highlighted staff picks they had were especially fun to check out. And everyone was so friendly! I look forward to returning.”
“As a lover of vintage cookbooks, this place has rows full of them. I will say that some of the books are a tad expensive given their condition, but the selection is impressive and makes it worth it!Nothing warm or inviting about this place. If you go in knowing that, you won’t be let down. Very much basement vibes.”
“coming from someone who frequents many B&N, the rio branch is by far the BEST one in in the DMV area. Amazing service, staff is incredibly kind and very knowledgeable on books. I even had the pleasure of getting a few recommendations from a kind lady when I visited today. 5/5 experience!”
“Great little bookstore just off a busy road.Wonderful selection of books - and their website can inform in advance if what you are looking for is in stock or needs to be ordered.The young man who helped me out was extremely courteous and offered to wrap one of the books (at no cost) when I mentioned it was a gift.They also sell a few wines at decent prices.”
“Always love a bookshop and B and N is a perennial favorite. This one was a little smaller but always appreciated that we could walk through, browse and purchase. The staff was super nice and very helpful. Great location too.”
“Super clean and organized Barnes and Nobles. I ordered a book ahead for my niece and it was an easypeasy pick up experience. Starbucks is also in house. Loved their record collection. Very nice location.”
“It is the largest bookstore chain in the USA.
It has very good content of collectible subs, a great content of literature, magazines and comics.

“What a treasure this place is. Was nearby and randomly searched for a record store. Has a great selection of new and used records, friendly service, and the bonus is it has one of the best offerings of manga I have seen in the area.”
“A shoutout for the curbside service. We were going to a birthday party, but my kid fell asleep in the car. I called the store. They helped pick the toy, gift wrapped it, and brought it to my car. All done within 10 minutes.We also visit frequently when my kid is awake to pick up birthday presents. The store has great toy selections covering a wide age range.”
“It is a complete university in all majors and courses but they should put a map at the different entrances that shows where the areas are. I went to the bookstore 2 weeks ago but I had a hard time finding it and many people also told me the same thing so I asked Three people that I met on my pass through the streets inside the buildings of the MC university, but no one knew until I found the bookstore, they guided me where more or less and it turns out that I had parked close almost in front of the bookstore but due to lack of signs location I walked around the entire university I took a university tour.”
“Thank goodness one thrift store still specializes in media. Great selection of books, movies, and games, with really helpful staff! Only complaint is that things aren't exactly in alphabetical order, but you'll want to browse all the aisles anyways.”
“Dave is a gem himself, he truly enjoys sharing music and records with people. He has an extensive inventory and parking is super easy. Tons of bars and restaurants around the area, easy to make an afternoon out of it. Dave's prices are very reasonable, will be back soon for more records!”
“I published my first illustrated book, For the Love of Laxmi with Mascot Books, on February 1, 2022. We started working together on the book in June 2021 - I had already worked with an illustrator to get the designs done on my own, so I didn't end up using their design services, so I cannot entirely comment on that. I worked with Mascot on their publishing, distribution, and marketing options, and I admire them and their work. This was my first book ever, so I had a lot of anxiety about timing, quality, and ensuring we would have a good go-to-market strategy. I initially micromanaged with a million questions, which their team handled so gracefully. I do wish their team provided frequent communications and more face to face/zoom time to help reassure, but outside of that, they were always on top of things behind the scene - the book quality was stunning, the distribution was outstanding, and truly resulted in a great first release. I can't wait to work with them on the other project.”

“(Translated by Google) I went to this bookstore for the first time, I found EVERYTHING they have very nice and interesting, I was FASCINATED BY THE PICTURES with biblical texts and BEAUTIFUL images. The store manager was very friendly, she showed me the product and even gave me suggestions.(Original)Fuí por primera vez a esta librería, me pareció muy lindo e interesante TODO lo que tienen, me FASCINARON LOS CUADROS con unos textos bíblicos y unas imágenes HERMOSAS. La encargada de la tienda muy amable, me enseñó el producto y hasta me dió sugerencias.”
“Okay, so I had a hard time finding this place. For those of you who are new to Loudon, it's in the basement of the LR building. It was super easy to find my textbooks here. The cashiers/staff are all so friendly, and they'll help you find everything you need. Returns are super easy too. Just make sure you keep your receipt!”
“Visiting Scrawl Books was a treat. This independent bookstore is conveniently located in Reston Town Center with plenty of parking and options to get lunch nearby—everything you need to browse for hours! Absolutely loved browsing the local author selection and can’t wait to return for more.”
