“Barnes & Noble at Tyson’s Corner Center is located at the South End of the mall on first and second floor. Indoor escalators included. Arts, magazines, gifts, games, media and cashier downstairs, novels, children, youth and cafe upstairs. I go here often just to watch what’s new but I do find something anyway. My favorite B&N is still the one on NYC’s Union Square, but that is anyway hard to beat.”

“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.”

“What a fun bookshop! We walked in as the owner was finishing up story time with a few littles and their parents which was just adorable! They have a good selection for all ages & the clerk helped us to find the perfect book! Shop is nice and clean as well.”

“Out of the two nearby “Friends of the Library Bookstore” locations, this one is my favorite! The books here are dirt cheap, the staff are super engaging and kind, and I was even able to put my name down for a book that wasn’t in the bookstore, and I got a text to come buy it once they received a used copy.This whole bookstore is so awesome and I have made several trips to it already. One time my husband and I gifted $20 to each other just for a fun book buying spree, and guess what? We both came out with several books in our hands, all totaling a measly $20! I literally haven’t found any other used bookstore in the area that comes close to these prices so you gotta check out the collection for yourself.The best part of the store is that they have a lot of popular books! Basically, any big name author or book I could think of, I was able to find it. I love this bookstore and its become my go-to used bookstore in MOCO.”

“Cute little store with lots of accessible parking outside. Great selection of children's books, including classics (good gifts) and new releases. We bought the latest Narwal book and Friends Forever; by Shannon Hale, which we hadn't seen anywhere yet. Cozy atmosphere and lovely staff.”

“My dog and I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed, but staff was still fabulous. For such a small space, they fit a great selection of new releases, and even gorgeous editions of Penguin classics. I'd probably have stayed and ended up buying more than just one book had it not been so busy - I *love* bookshops like this one and my dog very much appreciated how welcome she was made to feel as well. :)”

“Love having a local bookstore and the staff is always super helpful and friendly. You never know what you are going to find there! I can't give a 5 star review though because their air conditioning has been broken for quite some time and it is rather uncomfortable in there. I feel bad for the staff. Can't wait to come back when the weather is cooler though!”

“I've almost been hesitant to write a review because I feel like I'd be letting the world in on my own secret paradise, but the vast majority of comments here speak for themselves. This is far and away the best (non-used) bookstore in DC. The owner/book purchaser has INCREDIBLE taste and its inventory is brimming with an array of literary, poetic, and philosophical achievements that I've ever encountered on one bookstore's shelves. So far as I can tell, its selection in everything else is equally superlativeSome purchases that I've never found elsewhere in one place include: Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities, Walter Benjamin's Arcades Projects, Vico's Nuova Scienza, JFK and the Unspeakable by Jim Douglass, The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton by Jefferson Morley, and Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit if you're looking for a cure for insomnia.Sure, the stuff is pricey, but treasures are innately valuable. Dodge the NPR stans at P&P and support a store that manufactures intellect and taste.”

“It was a wonderful experience, I was curious about getting the Quran and this was the only place that had it. I went inside and was immediately greeted with the best hospitality I’ve received in any establishment I’ve stepped foot in. I spent about 2 hours inside talking about Islam and life experiences with the owner. 10/10 would recommend if your interested in Islam or just want to know about Middle Eastern culture.”

“Cute book store that specializes in cook books and books about food! I really liked the selection of kids picture books. Friendly staff. LGBTQ friendly and accessible friendly. There is a small ramp to enter w/ a pull door but the space is tight.”

“Don't be fooled by the name of this toy shop - Doodlehopper 4 Kids - it's not just for kids! As an adult, I still love shopping here for all of the fun and creative items they offer. In fact, visiting this shop brings me back to my carefree childhood days.One of the things that makes Doodlehopper 4 Kids so special is their fantastic selection of plush toys. From classic teddy bears to trendy unicorns and everything in between, they have something for everyone. And while the kids will definitely love these toys, I have to admit that I can't resist picking up a new plush friend for myself whenever I visit.But it's not just plush toys that make this shop so great. They also have a wide variety of unique and creative gift ideas, including board games, craft kits, and educational toys. Whether you're shopping for a child or an adult, you're sure to find something fun and exciting here.Overall, I would highly recommend Doodlehopper 4 Kids to anyone looking for a fun and nostalgic shopping experience. Don't let the name fool you - this shop has something for everyone, regardless of age. So go ahead and let your inner child run wild - you won't regret it!”

“If you need books in French, this is the place to come. They have everything from the latest novels to classics to an extensive collection of children's literature. And the proprietess is wonderfully helpful and friendly. But make sure it is open when you plan to come because the hours of operation are somewhat limited.”

“As I was "Window Shopping" in Old Town Alexandria, I saw this book in the window ...Surviving Depression & thought maybe that book could help me get through the depression I'm having after loosing my son to suicide.After talking with Sister Cynthia, she pointed out the other 2 books & donated the Psalms Bible to me, she also stated there was a chapel upstairs if I needed some alone time (I did go up there & it was very peaceful & it's exactly what I needed .. some alone time with God). ❤️I'm not Catholic but I am a Christian, I absolutely loved this bookstore and the people who worked there, I will be back! Thank you so much for listening to me & letting me shed some tears, about my son Zachary, with you. ?God Bless you, Sister Cynthia ❤️?”

“Wow, what a cool bookstore in the middle of DC. They also carry a lot of interesting products from the region like olive oil, textiles, and pottery. The prices are expensive but looks like a lot of the sales go back to the region. If you are looking for a good read on the middle east, or just want to browse after dinner, give them a shot.”

“Great products! Very pricey and I don't know why there were some really nice sweaters for $75 and I thought that was too much. I got a nice shirt for $30 and a sweater for $58. The cashier was very nice. They were also doing some changes because the last half of the store was inaccessible.”

“Been really wanting to get back to DC to experience this memorial. It is breathtaking. When you walk through the Walls of Despair you are inspired. You have never seen Dr. King like this. When I looked into his perfectly sculpted eyes, I wanted to see all of the unfinished work he was looking towards. It was an emotional experience (you do not come to this memorial to "see it). Such a fitting tribute to the man and the legacy.”
