Barnes & Noble.com

Life is an adventure. Sometimes that adventure involves long periods of idleness during which I tend to go through massive piles of books. This means I have a very intimate relationship with most of the brick-n-mortar book stores, along with their ...

Barnes & Noble had the book that I was looking for online, and were offering it at a reasonable price. Additionally, they were offering free shipping on book purchases, so I thought that I could save a few dollars rather than going with some other sites ...

Pros: Large selection, liberal promotions.
Cons: Slow shipping to my house, high prices, poor search engine

I love bookstores. Browsing for books is an underrated pleasure. When on vacation, I like going into a small book store in a new city and going through the stacks. When shopping for used...

Pros: Huge selection; Reliable & trustworthy; Quick checkout and delivery.
Cons: Slow website; Search engine not up to par.

I must admit that, up until yesterday, I had never shopped anywhere online except for Amazon. Yesterday, too, I had happily set out with a $10 gift certificate in my hand (mouse?) to the great Amazon.com itself. Not until the last minute did I change my...

Pros: reasonable prices, good selection, easy to use site, toll free customer service number
Cons: error prone, customer service tends to argue

I have a love-hate relationship with BarnesandNoble.com. Usually I love them because they have a wide variety of books, plenty of available online coupons, and reasonable prices. However, a good percentage of the time, Barnes and Noble messes up my...

Okay okay, I know I don't read much and I am extremely picky about what I read. I don't like the romantic books filled with love scenes or tear-jerking lines nor do I like the fantasy books where everything is magical and enchanting. But when I do find ...

I recently professed my love for Barnes and Noble in another review. However, this love devolves into a love-hate relationship when it comes to the online part of the company (www.barnesandnoble.com or www.bn.com). ...

Pros: Good selection, decent prices
Cons: Out of stock items, delayed shipping, questionable customer service

I have purchased several items from Barnes and Noble, and my experiences have ranged from good to very disappointing. This is not one of my favorite online stores, taking everything into consideration.

Short Version I guess my major beef with this site is it's organization. In my mind an online store should entice me to shop online rather than making me want to go to the physical store. This site does the later. I get twisted around, and ...

Pros: It is Barnes and Noble.
Cons: None

I have been shopping at Barnes and Noble for as long as I can remember. I loved them when I was going through the store, browsing and buying good books to curl up with. I hated them during college when I thought they were making a lot of money selling...

Pros: Speedy delivery. Always some kind of deal going on.
Cons: None, except for price I would check Half.com first

In fact, I have an order pending now. I usually orders CD's or books and they have always come in one piece. When I bought my PC almost two years ago now, this was the first on-line site that I made a purchase at. I would guess that I have ordered at...

Pros: Fine selection, decent used book prices
Cons: Terrible customer service, just another (yawn) mass market company

I get really tired of spending several hundred dollars in books each semester, some of which I may not pick up again once the class is finished. Health Behavior and Its Determinants may make for a scintillating read while the class is going on,...

Pros: Cost and Selection
Cons: Minor search glitches

Would one call it literary irony that on the information super highway full of algorithms, binary code, HTML, and Java would be invaded by a virus known as paper and ink? Good...

I received a gift certificate for barnes&noble.com a while back from a friend probably to buy myself some reading material. What did I spend it on? Not me. My daughter had been checking out and loving the Magic Treehouse series of books from the library ...
