The worse! I placed an order for 11 items on Dec. 3. One item was a pre sale and after I placed the order I realized they were not going to send my entire order until Dec. 14. So I canceled the pre sale item. I contacted customer service via email and was told my order would be shipped shortly. Two days later I wrote again and was told my order would be expedited. Dec. 14, the day everything was to be sent to begin with, still no shipment! Contacted by phone and was told not only was my order not going to be shipped on time, but one item is no longer available. The customer service rep. refused to let me talk to a supervisor but after an hour on the phone she told me all my items were located and they would be shipped out that evening. Dec. 15 and still no shipment scheduled. Finally contacted a supervisor who is trying to get my items shipped, but order status now says Dec. 28 for shipment. Worse experience ever. Avoid at all cost. They lie through their teeth. Will be hearing from BBB! .

This is the greatest store on Earth! I would live there if I could. I'm happy with the coffee and endless reading supply.The staff is really nice and friendly. Barnes and Noble has almost every book I've read, I like it that it has all types of books for adults,children,teens,etc.

This book was a good overview of applying to dental school but missed many of the intricate details of successfully applying. As a pre-dental counsellor at UCLA, I can say that much of the information in this book can be found on the internet. For a more comprehensive guide, try the ultimate dental school guide by aly kanani at pre-dental.com As a more experienced predental advisor, his book is much more useful.

Barnes and Nobles is a great bookstore. If they do not have it .... they will order it. The variety is great. I am always amazed at the selection of books available in their bargain book area. I usually wait to buy my hardbacks in that section since they are often 1/5 the original price. The only problem that you occasionally experience is lack of sales staff at the checkout counters.

Barnes and Noble does not, in any way, shape or form, compare to Amazon.com. Amazon.com endeavors to list all titles of all publishers; Barnes and Noble refuses to list or carry the titles of publishers who do not accede to Barnes and Noble's terms for buying books from those publishers. Their site does not give a true picture of what is available as opposed to that of Amazon. Moreover, Barnes and Noble's data base search is incomparable to that of Amazon.com. While Barnes and Noble is a good retail bookseller, their internet site is vastly inferior to that of Amazon.com.
