“The worst thing about this bookstore is its name. I can never remember it. It probably means something but I am out of the loop. If you can get past the name, bbgb is an great bookstore for children in the heart of Richmond's Carytown. It is not huge but it has an excellent curated collection where readers of all taste can find something appealing. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable; they will help guide you to a choice if you are not sure what you are looking for. Loyalty discounts are available to repeat customers.”
“A super cute, small book and record store with a combination of new and used books that is in an inauspicious basement level shop in The Fan neighborhood. Their used books are priced super fairly (mostly $4-6, up to $10) and it’s in an area where parking isn’t difficult at all. They buy used books, and the shelves are a mixture of new and used that are divided by genre rather than price/new or used status. It’s also within walking distance of Abi’s Books & Brews, if you want to check out both while in the area!”
“As a thriller and romance author, I always pay attention to standout bookstores, and Barnes & Noble is one of the bigger, high-traffic locations in the area.
This store is a two-level layout with a dramatic feel, featuring escalators leading up to a mezzanine level where the café is located. The open design makes the whole space feel larger and more like a full bookstore experience rather than a simple retail stop.
The selection is excellent across genres, and it’s easy to spend time exploring different sections. The upper-level café adds a nice place to sit and relax with a drink while browsing.
Parking is convenient, and the store is easy to access within the shopping area. The staff has always been helpful and friendly, keeping the experience smooth even when it’s busy.
Overall it’s a flagship-style Barnes & Noble with a great layout, strong selection, and a lively atmosphere to enjoy.”
“As a thriller and romance author, I always enjoy visiting bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble is a great classic location.
The store has that familiar Barnes & Noble layout that makes it easy to browse and spend time exploring different sections. It’s comfortable, well organized, and a nice place to slow down for a bit.
One detail that really stood out was their banned and collectible books display, featuring titles like 1984, The Iliad, and The Catcher in the Rye. It’s a thoughtful setup that adds a little extra depth and interest while you’re walking through the store.
The staff has always been friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better.
Overall it’s a solid, classic bookstore with a good selection and a welcoming atmosphere.”
“A nice alternative to Barnes and Noble. When I first moved up here (pre covid) they seemed kinda expensive, but for what I buy their prices haven't gone up since, so now compared to the rest of the world they are affordable. Staff have been nice every time I've gone in. Their location changed, which I'm sure is confusing some folks because the old building still has the name up, so I've attached a picture of the front of the new building.”

“Keona and the tech team was amazing and did what ever they could to help me and with all there hard work got me enrolled and starting soon!!! Thank you guys so much!”
“Been here a few times, great selection of books/tarot/stones. They let me try on poison rings to try to decide what exactly I liked. The apothecary side is also really neat.
They have a bunch of fairly priced incense and beautiful holders.
Lastly, the shop shares a large parking lot with Elwood Thompson which is great for people who are scared of parallel parking… maybe speaking from experience.”
“I have been buying books from this shop for twenty years. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The stock cannot be beaten in Americana, Literature, and History and this is an excellent place to find an uncommon book for a gift. The owner and his wife are exceptional people, who hosted me by appointment for a few hours. They offered to have me stay as long as I wanted until closing. They are now appointment only, due to the pandemic and their new location, as many similar booksellers have become. This should not be a deterrent! It is certainly worth arranging a trip!”
“A cute indie bookshop in Carytown with 2 store cats and a large selection of new (downstairs) and used (upstairs) books. They are definitely on the pricier side for their used books relative to some others in the area, but it is still worth checking out to see if you can find anything good! And the entire downstairs space is made up of a curated selection of new books.”
“It was pretty cool seeing all the toys, I ended up getting a brain puzzle for me and a squishy blobfish for my sister and a hand buzzer for my brother. I really liked that place”
“As a thriller and romance author, I always enjoy visiting bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble is a great location.
The store has a clean, well-thought-out design that makes it easy to browse and spend time exploring different sections. The music section and audiobook area are especially nice additions, giving the store a broader media feel beyond just books.
There’s also a comfortable café area, which makes it easy to sit down with a drink and take a break while browsing.
The staff has always been friendly and helpful, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere.
Overall it’s a well-designed Barnes & Noble with a strong selection and a great place to spend some time.”
“Low budget book, media, and games store with lots of inventory of reruns and second-hand items. I picked up 3 cds and paid only $10. (One cd was only $1.50). There are some items sprinkled in at $20 or more, presumably more in demand. You might find your gem among the stacks.”
“Pretty good campus bookstore, I like hanging out in their cafe more than the library because it's usually more empty. However I'm usually not there long because of the time it closes. Very good book selection even though it's only about a 3rd of the store or less ? it's mostly clothes”
