Great selection!

by Joy at Citysearch

Lots of books, magazines and a good size music section. They even half a used book section where you can buy and sell. The coffee shop inside is also a nice perk. They are also open until 11pm on Saturdays, great feature.

• Pros: used books, big selection, diversity
• Cons: chain store

An easy-access resource for books of any stripe, with impressive children's, business and bestseller sections.
