Reviews of Barnes & Noble
Anthony Curiel
Very clean and orderly, they offer a membership and have a Starbucks inside. Great place to meet and greet, instead of the local library with tons of homeless inside.
Isaac Hy
Nice place to relax and explore. Find that book which speaks to you to come closer, or even a friend. Cafe area with lots of seating, welcoming environment, wide array of subjects. There's even a manga section.
Largest collection of magazine's I've ever seen.
There are books always on sale here.
Always enjoy coming here. They're also I believe the only book store in town other than title wave used books in midtown.
Highly recommended.
Carolyn Thomas
Wonderful place to relax and unwind after a long day a work. I can spend hours here and never get bored. Endless amounts of interesting books, magazines,music, and topics for every age, children thru adults. I guarantee everyone will find something they like. And they got a Starbucks!
Lori Staats
I love book stores, my frustration with this location is the layout. There are so many aisles that dead end. Instead of being able to wander around from aisle to aisle the row ends and backtracking is required. While this is understandable for directing customers to checkout, it is annoying when trying to browse.
Jean Paz
The store is just so good, they have a lot of options of books. Great section of manga and graphic novels. And if you want to get a coffee they have a Starbucks in the same building.
Chris Hofmann
Really nice store, huge magazine selection. They even have alot of games and educational toys and science experiment sets. Lots of Harry Potter stuff and other contemporary items. Make sure if your looking for a book tell the associate the authors name! Thats the order they use. I gave the woman the title and nothing showed on the computer. But the Author got a hit and the book was there!
Ashlee Miguel
Love the book selection, everything from kids books to self help books! Also love that there’s a Starbucks right inside so I can enjoy a nice cup of coffee while reading.
Beverly Mai
is a nice Barnes and Noble. I find the way the bookshelves are laid out to be confusing and make it hard to find what I was looking for. I like straight row, not the weird layout they have. Still has all the things you expect from a Barnes and Noble. :)
Robin Dern
While ordering online or via an eBook app is extremely convenient, it is nice to spend time thumbing through pages and browsing selections you might not have thought to type into your search engine. I love any bookstore, big or small, and I am never disappointed when I visit Barnes and Noble in midtown. Like many other B&N locations, they have extensive music, children’s, travel and periodicals sections. They also have a cafe and gift/card area as well. It is a great place to bring the kids or to escape when you have some free time. It is also a good place to meet people. Today I had a nice chat with Chuck, a frequent customer and lover of all things muscle car and The Rolling Stones. Having thousands of books in the vicinity gives an easy jumping point to start a conversation with pretty much anyone.
Gary Drew
The largest bookstore in Anchorage, it's one of a limited number of choices. Their focus is primarily on newer releases. If you want a wider selection and don't mind used books Title Wave Books just down the street.
Lauren Newton
I love the large variety of items they provide. Obviously books but also so much more. I am always able to get good assistance when I am unsure of a book or where to find it. I was able to pick a few books out that seemed good for me along with some I plan on gifting. I was really excited for an unexpected find of a game. Clue: Master Detective which is like the original but it has more people, weapons and rooms.
Jahnay “NayNay”
Love love love finding a corner amd sitting for hours in this store. They carry so muh more than just books. They have games, candy, toys, cds, records, pens, & so much more. I dont see alot of sales but they always have a sale section to check out. They staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I love that they have a starbucks too.... what more could u ask for?
Hope this helps. Please like my review it helps me.
Dianne Agosto
Went to the café area. WiFi and Starbucks coffee were good. They have plenty of tables and plugs to charge devices.
Brandi Brown
Love the children’s section and the gifts/stationary available here. The staff is lovely and always willing to help. They have children’s Alaska books if you’re looking for a local book gift. I have the membership and enjoy a bit of a discount with each purchase. The parking lots seems a little scary if you go at night or in the dark, but I’ve honestly never been bothered by or approached for money by anyone.
Amber Clark
I love the layout of the store and the ease of talking and asking for assistance to find different books, workbooks and more. I am very pleased to find a very welcoming Barnes & Noble.
John Bruno
Great place to find that one book you gotta have and discover many others. The in-store Café has good coffee, and places to charge your devices.
Kathryn W
Bought too many books as usual, had a piece of quiche which was delicious but size was kinda small.
Was harder than usual to login to the free wifi
Sarah Jean Elizabeth McCabe
They are super friendly employees with large book selections. When I don't find what I'm looking for, (if I'm looking for anything specific at all) they always give me alternatives and are very professional about it.
Alavini Lata (Juicy Contour)
Coffee is great. Easy place to sit and let time and the world pass by. 😌 dive into a good book. …
May
I enjoy shopping at Barnes & Noble but, I'm biased. I like being able to charge my computer here at the bar in the cafe & pre-order books that pique my interest.
Mr Edge
Did a quick stop in for a couple of Christmas gifts. Found everything I was looking for. I will go back.
SpoiledToes
If you have a membership you get a discount so that’s cool, nice clearance section and there is a good manga selection. I got a signed book for cheap from there. Though the bookmarks they have there are a little overpriced.
Michelle West
Very busy store. I went right to Customer service and the helpful lady looked up my book and actually took me over to it !! Great CS!!
Adam Schowen
Need any kind of reference book or just a book to read to pass the time. It's perfect. Not to mention the staff is great
Olen Pepple
Nice Barnes and Noble store. Everyone was kind and helpful. I sat in the attached Starbucks while the family browsed. They found some Manga that arne't easy to find in the lower 48, so score!
Caitlynn Patterson
Nice store, always clean and the staff in my experience is helpful and friendly. I feel like the selection is decent as well
Emma Hamrick
Great place to find books, they have a large selection of every genre
John Bruno (Bruno)
Awesome place to go if it's anything to do with book magazines. They leave you alone unless you ask for help or are at the register to pay.
Miguel Flores
Amazing book store with a great atmosphere. It is a cultural point of interest. I love this place
Rick D
Store is clean and good selection staff is helpful. Always has been, they keep things changing and interesting in fact I’ve never had a bad staff or book experience. However the homeless problem in the area is getting worse and if you unfortunately have to use the bathroom at this store prepare to find a homeless dude in bathroom shooting up, barfing or washing himself in the sink. 1 stall door missing like it’s a 1978 truck stop is nice. Hold it if you have to use the bathroom
sepp wigger
Great books, definitely go if you don't know how to read and want to walk around for an hour confused
Michayla McCarr
Staff was kind when I asked for a book that wasn't in stock and went as far as looking every end of the store it seemed to get me the book I wanted.
Ana Carbajal
I was looking for The four agreements book in Spanish and I found many more. It was a nice shopping experience with my granddaughter.
Douglas Ryan
Barnes & Noble is the only national chain bookstore in Alaska. This location is small compared to many locations in the lower 48, but it is the best you will find for browsing new books in Anchorage. To browse used books try Title Wave Books.
Mike Ranft
It's so nice to have a book store. They are a dying breed!
Bre Fox
Quiet, relaxed place to browse for books. Selection is a bit limited these days, but that's understandable. Was a cute spot for a date!
Munchkin Carroll
Amazing selection! The people are super nice too. They knew where everything was and answered all my questions.
My only complaint is trying to find books myself... the layout is difficult to understand...
Trystan Spencer
Great experience. seems like they never have the first book to a good series but thats anywhere I guess. also if the tarot cards could be on the book side again it'd be nice not to have to squint and direct the checker to them. (very very difficult) all in all money well spent thanks
Heather Brown
Was looking for coin slips and books to hold coins and found quite the selection on this day!! Also grabbed a guide of prices and I really liked the detail that was available. It is nice to have the info in one place instead of having to go to several pages online...
Dan Burgess
Lots of books! Store was clean and staff was courteous. Went in for an adult coloring book, but there was only a small little shelf area of them. Not much to choose from.
Chris Amaro (Shychris88)
They have everything. Staff was really nice. Good place to go for gifts.
Frank Lawson
Expensive, but tolerable prices. That's the nature of the beast though. Nice atmosphere. Some places to sit and they don't seem to mind if you do. And there is a Starbucks. Books and Coffee are always a great combo.
Michael
Excellent, clean, well stocked, and contains one of the better cafes I've ever seen in a Barnes and Noble. The echo spot is fun for kids.
Charity Christensen
A great place to find books for the whole family! Love the atmosphere!
Walter O'Hayer
Staff is so helpful here, it's great every trip in.
Eve Pope
Barnes and Noble is one of Alaska's few book stores and unfortunately it's a chain. Now something completely unrelated to the actual review is that the original cover art for the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is being phased out in lieu of the promotional covers for Amazon's unfortunate tv adaptation. A plus for the review, however, is that when I ranted about this to a poor man stocking the romance section he seemed amused and unbothered by my grievances. 4 stars for the shoulder to cry on
A. Nick Heitman
Service is good and if they don't have the book, they will order it for you, And, let you know when its in. Good cafe too.
Jarek Halat
The bookstore staff know their books and authors and are very helpful! Great public place to have small meetings. 4 people or less is best for the table sizes.
Douglas K.
The place is super cool, everywhere I look is something that catches my interest. Tons of selection but very spendy. Has that awesome book and coffee vibe.
John McAchren
I'm just going to rate the Starbucks since I'm probably not qualified to rate a book store. My daughter thinks its pretty great though. This starbucks was very clean though and lighting was great. It was very open and staff was friendly. Made a couple happy customers
Sergio Carbonell
For a bookstore they do have a lot of toys.
Michael Gray
Wonderful to see this business in full operation in Anchorage. Beautiful museum full of book you can purchase.
Irene Berntsen
Always something new and interesting to look at and buy. I highly recommend
Erik Vick
Still love bookstores. This Barnes and Nobles is very busy and well staffed. Good to see a non digital world still going strong. Lots of parents with children of all ages talking excitedly about their choices. Makes me think maybe these institutions of physical knowledge and fantasy might just hold out for a little longer against the raging roar of the beckoning internet.
Robin Gowin
it is so good to see a book store with many customers
robert reddoor
It is a nice quiet place with a decent selection of books. As well as a good place to get coffee and tea. I personally like the selection of dnd books and board games.
Robert Downs
With hundreds of books from pre-school age to adulthood to choose from and so much music to listen to, Barnes and Nobles is the store to go to. Enjoy benefits through a program you can get signed up online. Very spacious with a coffee shop inside.
Shawna McIntire
I love escaping into the store. Endless things of interest.
Anxious Fur
Had my first ever date in the café here! Only the second time I've ever been inside, the book/magazine selection was vast & it was quiet like a library! Enjoyable!
Daniel Calugan
It's a brick and morter book store, what's not to love, you can find almost anything you want and if not they can order it for you. They are a little more expensive than Amazon but I would rather pay more here than order from Amazon, been burned too many times from online orders.
Tallblackchick 1984
It's always a pleasure to see all the friendly staff. The employees here are exceptional and hard working. Very clean and non biased. I was looking for tarot cards and I was a little nervous about the reaction I'd get. Nothing major a few ppl whispering witch. But the staff was restocking that section. Made me think lotsa tarot lovers here.
Tiana Rogers
Although it felt a little weird going into the coffee shop to pick up my order, I was glad that the store was still open. There are books I am interested in but refuse to buy until I see them myself to make sure I am not wasting money. Stop on by, it’s a wonderful atmosphere and with the reduced capacity it’s nice to go in and look for what you need.
David Williams
They very good variety of books and magazines
Shannon Hartley
One of our favorite places with a cafe, fireside room, and kids area. It's a great place to find the book you want and just relax. Mom's night out, or a family night.
Terry Sullivan
It's a little pricey but the customer service is wonderful & they always get what I want
Katie Connor
Who doesn't love a book store?! I could have spent hundreds there but you can't eat books. I mean you could eat books but the nutritional quality would be low... so I went to the cafe and had a coffee and treat after I got my books!
Valarie Schultz
Nice large store with tons of books as well as a section for music and a childrens section stocked with kids books as well as many super cool unique toys and gifts ect. I prefer the extensive selection of magazines. There is even a Starbucks if your into that:)
Jim Gribbin
I usually only go Sunday evenings. It's not to crowded right now, but school is out for the summer. During the school year, this place can get pretty crowded with college students.
jacob frank
Love it they even have anime figures now
Robin List
I love the selection, and the staff I encountered were very polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the price of books is prohibitive nowdays..
Michelle Kaitlyn
The books are well-organized and it's easy to find the titles I'm searching for. They have good security. The atmosphere is cozy. The store is clean, even their restrooms are nicer than in most public places. Check out is quick. Employees are helpful. They're easy to find, and they have good parking.
Sutton
Decent selection of books, but nothing special. The staff is usually helpful, but sometimes cannot be found easily. My one compliant is that they reorganized their book sections, and certain areas are difficult to find and are organized weird. Some sections are straight up disorganized, which is frustrating. Overall, I think it's a good place to buy books, but wish it was a bit easier to find what you're looking for. Maybe even a section map would be helpful.
Eric Burch
Great atmosphere and lots of reading materials to choose from, also a Starbucks cafe. Awesome!!
Shawn H
Love the inside but the store had lots people walking the parking lot looking in cars and messing with people's things. Nice store but take a bus or Uber.
Paige Smith
I really enjoy this Barnes and Noble. When we first moved here we didn't know the area but we like books so we looked for a bookstore and found B&N. This place had so many family events that made living in a new place better for us to get adjusted. We even got to meet one of our favorite authors. The staff there has always been nice and helpful.
Kevin Merilatt
Good place to find Funko Pop's. Good book's. The employees are very nice, approachable. And all around fun
Anika E.
Pretty nice. Lots of books. You can read here, if you want, and no one will bother you (usually).
Cien Hoen
Clean and friendly. Fun to walk around and explore titles. A little bit for everyone
Angeline Whitman
What a great experience. I went to get a book, which was not yet on the shelf...it won't be released until Tuesday.
I would have continued searching for it, but thankfully, a young employee asked if he could help.
I now have a book reserved for pick up on Tuesday.
Great experience.
Thank you Barnes & Noble for being here...and having excellent staff.
Great place to browse, great place to buy all your reading needs.
Stop by Barnes & Noble today, you know a good book or magazine would be just what you need to help pass some time.
Jennifer Brown
Such a great assortment of books/games! (Security is a bit over kill) but besides that, it's a nice place to go and chill out.
Bobby Blueford
I enjoy going to Barns & Nobles, its quiet, most of the staff there are friendly & know there inventory pretty well. Its clean & overall organized & to top it all off, there's a Starbucks connected to it thats stays open until the book store itself closes at 9:00pm
E J
Always my pleasure 😊 visiting an actual bookstore. …
Muriel Hopson
A really nice bookstore that has a cafe
Kitsana Dounglomchan
Very helpful staff! My wife and I were looking for a higher end scrabble board and this was the only one we could find in Anchorage. I only went here one time but the friendliness and helpfulness of the one employee was amazing. I wish all customer service people were as good as her. I’d definitely go back again to relax and drink some coffee, or to look for a good book.
Nicole House
Employees are awesome. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and effecient. My membership has MORE than paid for itself, and I love the food in the cafe as much as the bookstore itself. They have an excellent selection of merchandise that appeals to customers of all ages (and if they don't have it in stock - they can usually order it for you), the aisles are easy to navigate and items are easy to locate thanks to an abundance of visible signage (and, failing that, their amazingly helpful staff). I HIGHLY recommend this store.
Erin M. Reese
I absolutely love this place! They have all the things you could ever want to read or be creative. Great kids section, even some learning toys! great gift ideas and a wonderful little cafe. Always clean and the staff is extremely friendly :)
Natalie Baumgartner
Always an enjoyable location to browse and shop. There is an enormous inventory of books, magazines, toys and other related items. The new store layout provides wide spacing in aisles. We always get a coffee, tea or treat while in the Starbucks cafe located within the store, as well.
Carrie McCrorie
The books are expensive but the store is excellent. The employees are friendly and helpful with finding things and getting recommendations. They have a great selection and also sell things like board games and some art supplies. They are open until 11 pm which is excellent since I work late. They have soup at the cafe that is delicious! If they have Creamy Spinach and Artichoke soup that day, I always get it.
Carol Campbell Taunuu
The family stopped in to browse some gift ideas. Bonus to find a school band laying Christmas songs! Great ambiance and everyone found something special to gift.
James Simmons
Barnes and Nobles has a lot of books! But they also have very friendly and helpful people to help you find what you're looking for. What I appreciate is he no pressure approach they seem to have. Lots of people in the store because its a popular place to be! It's also a good place to go for books on special and marked down. If you like to sit and read and have coffee, then you've found the perfect spot!
Mary Ann Higgins
Barnes & Noble Has completely renovated their store. The floor space is very attractive you can actually see most of the books. The restaurant coffee area is open with tables spaced far apart. Everyone is wearing masks.
Jessie Cox
I bought American Girl Wellie Wisher doll items for a fair price. They're pretty friendly too!
Julia Hannah
Every time I go to Barnes & Nobles, I remember my dad taking us to buy books at this store frequently as a child. I am happy to have this store in Alaska 💞💯 …
Shaun VanArsdale
Always has a large variety of marked down books in the front of the store. You can get coffee in the store to the Right side and having other snacks, pastries, chocolates, pies, cakes and sandwiches is nice for lunch. And the food is always good. The help desk is great. They will help you with finding in stock items and all so ordering items and contacting you when it arrives for pickup. There are events, groups, meetings, musicians, and more sometimes they are seasonal. A big section just for the youngest readers with a play area. I think they have a story time scheduled monthly. There is a gift section with some toys, games, puzzles, coffee cups, and electronics. I can and have spent hours here.
Pooh Bear
We only go here occasionally. Our latest visit was to look for wood building book information/Purchase. First off, I was happy and impressed they had a very sharply dressed security guard at the front door. She was sharp, friendly and aware of what was going on.
We asked a staff member where the wood working area was, he walked us right to it. As my husband looked I went to the sitting area to wait. I noticed staff were around in case of need but not bothersome. Everyone was friendly including other customers..... Highly recommend.
Side note. Anchorage is going though a hard time with crime. I haven't seen or heard of any problems at B&N but having the security guard there helped me relax.
Matt Moore
Not crowded, helpful staff directed me to the book I was searching for and saved me a lot of time. They graciously accepted a returned book, faulty binding, and made a no hassle exchange on the spot.
SlimG
Very busy. Great book store. I think the number of employees walking around {working} could maybe ask if anybody needed assistance. Ykno .......
Katie Harris
Not busy at all but had to wait forever to check out then the manager came and checked me out thank you. Got a couple last min gifts had a super good deal on toys and had the cartoon DVD set my daughter wanted they dont even have this anywhere else in town including best buy so im very happy
Tandy Miller
4.5 of 5
Great selection, good prices on oar with Amazon. Employees are friendly and the place is overall quiet. The Harry Potter memorabilia section is massive and they have an okay selection of vinyls. My only problem was the lack of seating, as my back cannot take me walking for long periods.
Olivia DeLoach
Store was clean and the employees were very helpful and friendly. The book organization was a little wonky though. The book I was looking for was Science Fiction/Fantasy, but in that section the books were broken into different subgenres under that umbrella, but there was no indication of the switch. So if you're looking for something make sure to check the entire section for the authors name.
Mallory Copper
Love this store. Great atmosphere and I love the Starbucks and free wifi to study for a bit :) also have wall outlets available in the Cafe area. Very nice
Joshua “J” Gholston
Large selection as most barnes and noble but I particularly like this one as it helped me find what I was looking for within minutes of being within the store. I was pressed for time and it was clutch indeed.
kylie coston
The best new bookstore in town. The employees always know where things are. The atmosphere is always calm and clean-security is always on point-nothing crazy seemed to happen when I'm there. The books are at a reasonable price:)
Haley A
Same as it always has been. Clean, reliable, and friendly.
Mega Hobbs
Coffee was actually pretty decent. There was a funky smell to the entire store, not the great blend of books & coffee that I'm used to though. Interesting selection of reading, music, and the great oddities that make up a good bookstore.
kayla d
amazing! i spent like $100+ on mangas here and love them all
Marlon Hoagland
I love this store and wish I could afford to go more often. The wide selection of a little bit of everything and the fact that I can get hold of any book that I'd still in print is wonderful. I recently found that I can buy the entire collection of Tolkien's work in pocket book size for $50. I definitely know what I want to buy next time I am there.
Miranda Zweigle
Always my favorite place to visit. The staff is wonderful and book selection is great! If they don't have it they can probably order it for you 😊 …
Garrett Larson
I absolutely love books, so, therefore... I absolutely love bookstores! And I also love that B&N has more than just books, since I love music and classic movies. I got Bullitt my last visit, the best McQueen movie, besides The Great Escape.
Chenoa Chingliak
Its great, spendy, but overall nice. Lots of books to choose from, you can even read them in the café that's in it :)
jaime clement
Books is just the beginning. There are games, journals, anime journals, Harry Potter memorabilia, cards, and every magazine you can think of!
The staff is nice. The store is clean.
I like to just come and read while I sit by the window and sip coffee.
Charles Case
The books at Barnes & Noble are high quality and affordable. It’s clear to say the interior is a bit dull but I think that’s apart of the whole Barnes & Noble vibe. I won’t highly suggest the cafe due to other less-expensive coffee/tea chains being a bit more superior. Although these are only my opinions, I will continue to visit Barnes & Noble regularly.
Bruce Barker
Such a nice clean, quiet store with very helpful employees. Lots of books!
Sunrise Girl
I loved the graphic novel section and the manga section its so big their is awesome studio ghibli stuff and im in love the little card that sometimes describes certain books :)
Dixie Newbill
If you've been to any Barnes & Noble elsewhere, you'll know what to expect. They are all pretty much the same. If this is your 1st time you'll find a nice large bookstore with a Starbucks coffee shop inside. You are welcome to read while having your coffee & there is free wifi. There is also plenty of parking.
Carrie Parmenter
I couldn't find what I wanted so I asked at the info desk. The two young ladies there looked it up for me, helped me look for the item, and had to go in the back to find it! I left a very happy customer.
Mels B
I love the store, I'm giving it a 3 because of the parking area. It's so jam packed that someone literally backed into another vehicle simply because there is no room for them to back out of their spot.. you can barely fit a car down a row so maybe clean it up so we can see where to park.. and some truck just nearly hit me while writing this review trying to fit his giant truck in this tiny spot next to me so... thanks!
Kristina Case
IT SMELLS LIKE BOOKS!!! I love Barnes and Noble because they meet all my book shopping needs. The prices are a little high but it’s worth it in the end. The employees are always courteous and are very helpful.
Krooked Anchor Outdoors
I personally love this bookstore! It has so so much avaible inside! From young tots to the elderly. They have toys, accessories, and other collectables. Also have (my favorite) lots of harry potter items, such as collectable wands, bertie bots every flavor beans, and much more! If you are a book lover i would definitely stop by this place! Have fun reading!
Marjorie Dill
Very nice BN. Helpful and nice staff. I purchased my favorite Barney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice tea to go along with acinnamon scone. Love them! The cashier was helpful with directing me to Alaska books and authors . Would definitely recommend this BN.
ajosh fan
I went in for information on my Nook (electronic book) & learned to my great surprise that it's a 2011 model! (It was just given to me last Christmas, 2020!) I was having trouble getting it to connect to our Wifi; B&N worked on it for several minutes, then brought it back to me with the corporate number written on a stickie note. B&N stands behind its products & does all they can to resolve problems. Their book supply is endless!
Linda Wall
I love this place, you never know what cool things you will find there. Its great for gift shopping, taking the kids out, or meeting a friend for coffee. If you go in for a specific itemand you can not find it the staff will help you search or order it online, they will even send online orders to your home if you do not want to go back to the store to pick it up. Its just so much fun
ak art
Enjoyable town , plenty of food choices , gifts and opportunities to browse .
Jonas Thompson
I like this bookstore, but they removed the soft seat options that were placed throughout the store, which makes it less comfortable to sit and flip through a book. Their Starbucks coffee shop is very popular, but I think it should be updated to give it a warmer and cozier feeling.
Jack Flynn
Great local authors section! We purchased books by some Alaska authors that really enhanced our visit. Friendly staff, nice cafe.
Joseph Principe ll
I’d like to express my sincere thanks for the excellent customer service by the staff members at Barnes and Noble bookstore. The Barnes and noble bookstore is the Mecca of great reading material and great books in the Anchorage Alaska area. They have a wonderful selection all types of reading material it is a wonderful place to bring your family your children and friends to it. Thank you
Jaspal Hothi
Surprised to find this here in Anchorage during my visit and drive from the airport to my hotel. Quite large and abundant space. Has a Cafe inside, currently has 30 min seating in COVID. Lots of books and resources, not much staff though.
Michael Tierese
One of the last good bookstores left in Alaska. They will special order anything! Membership has good discounts on books food toys collectibles, music, and a lot more. I love getting gifts from here for friends and family.
Rob Steedley
I love reading and got a cute gift for my kid
Jenn
I have been a member of B&N for a number of years now. If I am having a problem finding a book the employee's are always willing to help even if they are restocking. When the other big bookstore was in town the only time I could get help with out feeling that I was putting someone out was while my best friend was an employee. On top of that the store itself was overcrowded. There is a much better layout at the local B&N. Also even though there is a reading area when I purchase a book I don't have to worry about the books I purchase for myself and my family appearing to be used.

This is a small Barnes & Noble (in L48 comparisons), but is THE ONLY real bookstore option in Anchorage.
The staff here is always helpful and pleasant.
I've never sampled from the cafe, but it's a favorite among other customers.
There is a fair amount of seating at tables to inspect books and more, before making a purchase decision.
Frances Martin
Always love going to Barnes & Noble. I wander up and down aisles the first part of the trip. Picking up interesting books or magazines. Then I might look for something specific. After that it's time for coffee and look through my finds to decide what I'll take home.
S L Kerr
These people love working here and it shows! In store specials 30% - 50% on many closeout Buy 2 get 3rd book free tables, affordable classics, and now a Kids Club card for Free! items.....puzzles..books..candles..etc. make great gifts. Oh yeah 1000 piece puzzles at this discount make gift giving affordable.
If you like music and movies the staff is knowledgeable and I have purchased CDs based on their recommendations. If an item is not on stock they can order it for pickup at store or delivery to your home.
My Barnes and Noble membership gives me a discount on everything I buy i(Nook tablets not included) including food and beverage.
Book Fairs support local school activities like music. It is not unusual to hear live music during these events.
Skylar King-Strang
Staff is usually friendly, but they often are overwhelmed or out of place so it can be hard to get attention. The selection is large, but this can make it difficult to find particular things. The record section is good and the criterion collection is an important plus that makes this a valuable shopping spot. Their magazine selection is a huge highlight for me, as it is super robust; probably the most robust in town.
Anchorage has a pretty limited bookstore selection, so this is the de facto go to for new stuff. If you're looking for popular books or old material, you're probably better off checking out Title Wave (for however much longer they stick around).
Stewart Cain
Great selection of books. Helpful staff whom offered suggestions which I appreciated and took her up on. Cashier offered membership renewal and successfully dealt with a clerical issue. Great service!
kirsten scharber
Great store to shop for unique gifts while you sip on a coffee from their Starbucks. If they don't have the book you need, they'll order it! (Lose a star due to sometimes messy restrooms).
Katie B
We asked Lilly for help finding a rare item. She looked it up and helped us search the entire children's area for it. Once we found it, the manager was able to help with my coupon that I couldn't get to pop up and Lilly gave me all the details for the kids club and the Barnes and Noble club, so that we could get signed up.
Jerrold Bell
Excellent selection of books, comforts (sitting next to a cozy fireplace reading), and knowledgeable staff. There is a nice cafe where you can read, surf the Web with free wifi, and drink you favorite coffee, tea, or whatever else kind of drink you might want.
Cien Hoen
Friendly staff lots to see. Still nice to come to a book store for some tactile experience instead of e-reading. Found a book and I wasnt even looking to buy anything.
Thank you Barnes an Noble 🙂
L B
I'm SO happy to have a Barnes and Noble in Anchorage, my new home!!! The real book store to browse in, real time, real books to put my hands on, pick up, put down. It's been too long! I've been there twice this week already. So far. Ahhhh. Like meeting a friend I haven't seen in a long, long time.
Jared
Great, quiet store with a large selection of books and music. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable on where items are. Starbucks coffee shop connected to it provides a place to study for school or read a book.
David A Sanders Sr (Kyjodan Photograpy)
For those that have an itch to read something new, or to update the look of your home library, this place is for you. Great prices on just about everything in the store. Starbucks Coffee offset from the "stacks" gives a great opportunity to peruse your purchases, log on to their Wi-Fi, or to warm up with a good cup of coffee.
Matt Wells
Always a good place to go and find the latest books.
Kevin Patrick
Its barnes and noble, of course its amazing. On a serious note, for alaska its a good sized book store, I've found most the books I've read there, and the ones I can't find in the physical store I ship to the store. Its a win win. Only problem is the Starbucks its not quite the same flavor as the normal Starbucks, its hardly worth taking away a star though. Barnes and noble is one of my all time favorite stores
T Nels
Place is clean, professional and easy to get around. The staff are super helpful and books are plentiful. No negative remarks from me. Keep it up!
Sinéad Upton
We went in to exchange a book that was purchased for my husband at Christmas on my mother in laws B&N account. We didn't have the receipt but the staff were really nice and helpful and were able to find the details on the system easy enough.
CA G
A great place to find books that you dont want to wait for through Amazon. Barnes has a pretty good return policy, where if your not happy with your book purchase you can return it within the time frame and get a full refund.
Nikhil Ket (Space Cowboy)
Great place to find books ranging from technology, latest releases to Shakespeare and everything in between. You can also buy music albums and toys for kids. They also have a good cafe. Good place to meet friends.
Kaya Tanksley
I love going to Barnes and Noble. They have more than books, and I can spend the time relaxing and browsing. I can order items that they may not have, especially books, and they come directly to the store in a matter of days.
Tyrell B
Amazing staff! I asked for a particular book that showed up as being in the store. It wasnt were it was supposed to be, but the staff member was willing to search around the rest of the store with me for the book. I would love to give them 5 stars, but their parking lot is pretty terrible.
Jimmy Robles
Great place for books lovers, they are well organized and at least in my case I will always prefer the physical books instead of e books.
Laura Stockemer
Great selection, however security is intrusive. I asked the cashier if that's normal and she said yeah, because of being on this side of town.. not sure what that means, but following paying customers (wasn't just me) around and being more suspicious than actual thieves was not comfortable.
Dacy Nottingham
Lots of books. It's like a local Amazon. 👍 …
Koko !
Very pleasant and quiet place to enjoy some personal time, only thing I would recommend is sofas, love seats, comfy chairs. I can slightly see why you dont have them but would be a great addition! Oh and some more plugins in the seating area.
Joe Nichols
Decent B&N in central Anchorage. Kid's section was smaller than many I've seen, and prices were quite high (EX: Milepost travel guide was ~$12 more than the Wal-Mart across the street). Store was generally clean and well-maintained. Not enough employees on main floor / adult books area.
Todd Grivetti
Super friendly staff. We left our Alaska book at home, so we decided to buy another one since it is packed with so much information. Close to hotels and dining and a great place to get maps and Alaska informational books as well.
leOlie
A book lover's dream place! I love that they have so many books here, and can order ones that they don't carry in store online for you. It can be pricey, but they always send coupons in the mail/via email if you become a member.
Moore Fam
Awesome selection of books, good selection of puzzles etc, fair prices. Grab something to read and go cozy up with a coffee & fresh bagel at the Starbucks within the book store. Best experience ever 😀 …
Jeremy Calderon
This is by far my all time favorite place to shop or to just wander around when I am bored. I always end up stumbling across something of interest when I go.
HANDICAP parking runs the full length of the front of the building and the sidewalk is well maintained for the clients.
Be sure to stop by the cafeteria to grab a nice treat or a coffee. If you are a b&n member then you get substantial discounts in the cafeteria. I say cafeteria but I really mean Starbucks as they are on-site for the Barnes and nobles clients.
BEWARE -- it is almost like going shopping without a list. You will buy too much if ya don't stay focused on what ya came for. Like the hobbit in LOTR. The longer he wore the ring the more he would lose himself. You will lose track of time and get fussed at by your significant other if ya don't bring em a treat.
Thank you for your time and click the thumbs up button if this posting helps you.
Ronald Alick
Was so comfortable with the social activities
Yidder Stitch
This is your standard Barnes and Noble... Not that that’s bad. I just mean that it’s clean, well located, has WiFi, Starbucks and good parking. So it won’t really disappoint you unless you’ve been to like a Mega Barnes and Noble 😜 …
SΦM•Δ•MΦS
It's fantastic! Something interesting on every shelf... Much better than the internet. Actual information and no ads. Definitely check it out.
Katie Weniger
I love books and always seem to find something to buy, but it seems to take awhile for them to stock new releases. It's still a great store. The wait in the checkout line could be shorter as well.
John Albee
In the lower 48 I had started avoiding Barnes & Noble once the technical book section got smaller and smaller every year. I went in here looking for Christmas gift ideas, stumbled upon the technical/IT section which left me pleasantly surprised. While here I picked up the local Northern Lights discount/coupon book which is worth it even if just visiting for a few weeks.
Dow Jopp
We routinely visit, each time they have the books we wanted in stock. Staff pleasant and helpful. Clean and well kept.
Nicole Ranauneut
Clean, quiet, relaxing. Great place to sit down and work, or catch up with a friend.
Barbara Hrubes
Went in looking for a certain book. Couldn't find it. Asked at the service desk for help. They went right where I had been looking and found it right away. I'm over 70 so maybe I just couldn't see it. For what ever reason I was thankful for their help. The help are polite and friendly. I always know if I need help I don't have to hunt and hunt to find some friendly help.
Cole Reitz
Awesome store. All kinds of great books, children's games, board games, puzzles, nicnacs and snacks. They also have a great little cafe.
Bridget Huddy
Love going here. Great atmosphere and the employees are all very helpful and kind. With a coffee/bakery alongside, I find myself lost in good feels, creation, positivity.
logan smith
I love books. There are not a lot of places to get books today. They have everything I am looking for and more. I love that they have increased their boardgame section and being able to buy the occasional record is fantastic.
Pete S
One of the last real book stores left. The 4 stars refer primarily to the coffee shop attached, which has a better selection than the average Starbucks. Good place to meet someone.
Rahilah Taylor
The starbucks caffe here has Ok coffee, great desserts and a spinach quiche that you can write home about. There is limited seated outside the coffee area unlike you typical Barnes and Noble. This location offers free WiFi, family activities, story the for young readers and cool events during book launches. It's a great place to get lost in a good book.
Bradford Fenton
A reasonably well stocked version, not as complete as some of the others I have been in, but has a good selection. There are limited options in town for a physical book store, and this is a good choice. The magazine section has a broad range, as expected. The travel section is good.
Alex Slaght
The staff are amazing and so incredibly sweet! They helped us find books, and then kept checking to make sure we were good!
Jim Kelly
If you're a reader and enjoy nice extras like a coffeehouse, toys, sales, etc. you'll enjoy Barnes & Noble. While you can use the online service it's nicer to visit a store.
Abby Ostrom (blah)
Lots of good books and a Starbucks inside
Laurie Nusbaum
Very clean and organized. They had so many cashiers that the long line moved very fast.
Derek Warwick
An excellent sellection of books. I found my favorite author there. They are have a decent sellection of graphic novels. If you are hungry or tired you can go to the cafe and order coffee and get something to drink.
Rebekah Lewing
Ellen was AMAZING going through recommendations with my dyslexic son to get him started on his fall reading list. Invaluable!
Estrella Vargas
This is such an amazing store. Could spend hours and hours looking at all kinds of stuff. Great variety of books, gifts and games. Cashier was so warm and nice!
Atlas Katari
A total secret study spot! I'm so surprised that there aren't plenty of people here on a Saturday of all days, too. I only wish there were more secret table & desk spots, but the cafe adds a lot of space.
Matthew Bigman
Great store overall. A solid selection with convenient pickup options and online ordering give you plenty of options. Care has a solid food selection, and the location is easy to reach with solid hours. Staff is attentive and listening.
Colby Wright
Mmmm. I went here to meet a friend for coffee. Service wasn't bad, but definitely not excellent either. I'll probably go back, but this review really only reflects the Starbucks in there.
Allen Lu
Books I like to read Harry Potter
Linda Bohlen
A bookseller. Beautiful store. Also has a Starbucks with some food offerings.
Had gift cards. Gift ideas, magazines and BOOKS.
Thee is a wonderful children's area .
Jacob Medland
B&N has friendly staff, a good selection of books, and a welcoming environment. It's on of my favorite places to shop for books or just kill some time
Conce Rock
This is a terrific Big Box book store for folks who like only new, current books and music. It has all the bells and whistles, Starbucks share the location, B&N carry all the latest associated paraphanalia, ie journals, games, calendars, craft kits, laptop trays, so many things! Lacks the quiet intimacy of an old-era, creaky bookstore, one can find in a larger city. Definitely a different flavor than local Spenard used and new Tidal Wave Bookstore.
Rebecca E.
Great bookstore with helpful staff
alex e
Very helpful and kind staff who know the store well. I believe I was helped by Braden and he was great.
Eileen Foley
What a diner should be. Low-key with great food - a lot of locals come here. Milkshakes are the best! Cannot go wrong ordering anything off the menu.
Adeline Schlabaugh
Good variety and customer service. This location has a shopping bag shortage. Bring your own.
DAEV J
Barnes and Nobles is a great place to meet friends and spend some time browsing the books, sipping coffee, talking about literature, or anything else of interest. It's also a nice place for first meetings.
Stephanie Jackson (Steph808)
My hometown only has one barnes and noble. So I was very excited to come here. Staff is great. Books are of a variety and I found what o was looking for.
Katy Marie
I always recommend this place for everything, even your puzzle mind games :)!! They have a lot of cute items that you and your friends will especially love!!
Christopher “Guitarhero211” Teter
Nice to be able to take my time have a coffee at Starbucks indoors., Then walk over and look at the periodicals for a while without being rushed. Almost business as usual!
Phillip Boyle
Always a stop for my family when we visit Anchorage. The kids love the kid section and the staff are very helpful. The in-store Starbucks and bathrooms also make it a good stop for our family.
Randy Giddings
Best place in town to get new books. They got manga as well. Had to check out the Alita: Battle Angel series. Way more blood on the manga. Worth it to check it out if you liked the movie
Marvelous Massage
I appreciate the store in Anchorage because it always has lots of books. The store here is very clean and there’s usually an employee or two wandering around willing to offer assistance.
AK
I love this book store! I end up spending a couple hours in the store every time I go!
Luhv Hue
Amazing customer service! The staff was more than happy to help me discover something new and where very personable.
Triscuit 907
I was able to wonder around and look at stuff, the staff asked if I needed any help (I didn't just spending time.) I bought a soda in the coffee area before leaving and enjoyed the friendly costumer service.
Greta F
Definitely evolves with the times and there is something here for everyone. I bought my gudetama cup here and scored some Christmas items well.
Michael Rosebeary
Couldn't find the book I wanted. I went to the customer service desk and asked if they could help. The guy took me straight to the book. Such amazing service!
Theresa Carte
Love visiting this store when I'm in town! Helpful, friendly employees, lots of books and other media and fun gift ideas to be found.
Carlos Morris
Very nice!... I usually pop in here for rare, hard-to-find videos every once in awhile. 😃 …
karen bente
Always a pleasure. Love the cafe, grad a book and a pastry. Purchases can be paid for in the cafe so you don't have to stand lines twice.
Marie Corven
I haven't been here in more than 10 years, it has all kinds of cool gifts and books!
Charlotte Lewis
I love this book store I found some hidden gems super cool place for gift shopping or tons of amazing books! I almost always find what I am looking for!
Maddy C
Always loved this place. A wide variety of books, great memories here. Very helpful staff, a wonderful cafe!
Jake D
They always have a great smell of coffee i there!
David Brown
Good selection of books you'll read once for half an hour and then take to Tital Wave to sell for a dollar. You should have just started with the library and done your test drive there.
David Kilpatrick
If one wants to find a good book to read. This is a good place to look for one. There a difference in Amazon pricing and B&N is insignificant. If you want to book quickly Barnes & Noble.
David Nees
Nice store in old Longs Drug store.
Nice fireplace reading area, good Starbucks and kids section.
Clean and quiet, lots of vagrants around area Security at door. #studyspot
Trudy Conway
Very nice layout. Store is clean and has comfortable atmosphere. Great selection of sale items and gift ideas. Staff could be more helpful.
Andy Laposki
Good selection of books, audio books, children's books & games. If they don't have it in stock, they will order it for you. Also have a coffee shop with baked goods.
Jess O.
When you're in the mood for a great book or just want to say Hi to someone.
Kim Garcia
Normally love the book store....but two very imposing security guards at the door made me question what was really going on in there!
Kev Morris
Very few bookstores around so it's a bit of a captive market.
Great technology section.
They are about to renovate so hopefully they improve the stationary and tech sections.
Jasmine H
Its a busy atmosphere. Lots of books. The strabucks is ok. At the music swction they used to have headphones where yoy could sample the music. Then there was a headphone less part where you could just press a button
Heven Demo (Hevendemo)
It's like one of the only bookstores here. They are really expensive and can be found on Amazon for much cheaper. You can find some rare DVD in it from time to time.
Brian Heckaman
It's a book store 🤷♂️ I generally just go here to buy manga and the selection is pretty good. My only issue I have had is the speed at which they get books you order delivered to their store. …
kimberly allen
I love to shop here at Christmas. The lines are already getting long. This store is huge, has such variety. I hope it stays a vibrant part of our community.
Christopher Fletcher
Hard to find books in the store, shelfs where kinda messy but that's understandable since every one picks up books to look at them. Staff where hard to find to help with questions and locate books.
Scott Lee
Great selections. It’s good to have a brick and mortar bookstore in our neighborhood.
5 days 5 DAYS
Awesome helpful friendly staff good books lots of cool stuff for kids + Starbucks what's not to like plus they have a play area for kids
Scott Sattterfield
Can't find many fully stocked book stores anymore. This one was a pleasure with every kind of book you'd ever want.
Debbie Hanning
Wonderful store and I love all the staff everyone is very helpful and prices are great. Always can find what we need at B&N
Kevin McKinley
It's like a routine , I give them some horrible description of some book and they say " oh you mean this one"and I say yes and then they bring me to my book or sometimes a cd. Always friendly and helpful.
Johnnie Fletcher
Busy, understaffed and overworked employees and the book selection was lacking anything regarding the "occult" but the kids section is robust with educational books!
Cherish Jordan
The customer service is decent, but Amazon has the same products for much cheaper.
MMA Morocco TV
The service was great.. Destinie was a friendly face at the cafe and made a great tasting beverage. Robby showed excellent customer service aswell
Eve
What's up book I'm wanted on Kobe Bryant and she got it for me really quick except I also needed the one with the mentality and it been sold out everywhere but I'm not going to give up I'm going to be gone back and see if that book came in! Thanks very much for your help and I really appreciated it
Justin Neal
A relic of the past, people are still coming to check out print books. There are some funny books there, but Amazon is always a better place to get your kindle edition best sellers.
Kevin Kelleher
Great store, I especially like their staff recommendations, prices are often better online so check before buying, great for browsing for a book you don't already know you want.
DAVID HOVERSTEN
Waited in line for five minutes to buy a FOUR DOLLAR redbull.Wifi kept turning off but at least tjat was free. They need more electrical outlets for devices. However the staff was extremely courteous
Michelle Mitton
I like being able to order something online and then pick it up easily in the store. They also have pretty good hot chocolate in the cafe.
david webb
Nice book store; one of the last remaining. The Starbucks inside is a plus too. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Rose Gueco
I love that you can just hang out get some coffee and decide which books to take home. Relaxing environment and. Nice selection of books
Dan A
Books are everywhere here, on the walls, on the tables, I mean everywhere. The more books you help clean out of this place, they just go out and get more to replace them... Seriously has more books laying around than my kids room. It's getting to be a problem that they might want to get some professional help for.
Viktor Vaupel
Didn't have the book I wanted, said that they could order it and it would arrive in a week. I ordered the book on Amazon and paid for expedited shipping (next day) for less than the Barnes & Noble price.
Brianna Eisenbacher
Well stocked barnes and noble. Employees are friendly. Have also ordered online and picked up in store which went without issue.
Talia Green
I always love Barnes and Noble and this location is no exception! I love to spend a free afternoon here. They have a great selection and helpful staff.

k9play (k9play)
Great selection the coffee stand was nice but since of the people at the front counter we're pretty old and couldn't hear me when I was trying to talk to them, and another one seemed very distant and distracted
John Ware
The staff is very proactive about keeping the store clean and help customers. The atmosphere is very relaxing which may be why people are there from opening until closing.
Brittany Johanson
Excellent customer service and great selection of books. My family really enjoys spending time here!
Kyle von Bose
Great place to get kids birthday presents (books, toys). I didn't know this until last weekend, but there's lots of toys and gifts for kids.

Mavreen Espinosa (Tamara)
I love books so I love this place and the food they have in their cafe is so good especially their cheesecakes.

Only one cashier at 430 pm. Got tired of waiting in line and left.
Harry Potter series continues, I want to know what happens next, but I don't need to know that that bad.
Steven Dyer
Barnes and Noble is the last real book store. Don't let it go the way of movie rental stores! It's also my favorite store on earth
Sergeant First Class Shultz
I love this store. They also have a greats section for studying for college as well as the ASVAB
Joseph Biondich
I have never had a problem finding a book that I wanted here, but when there was a line, THERE WAS A LINE. Either you get checked out immediately or you wait forever.
lumirogen
Could use more pop culture cute anime items and Legos, but overall comfy and cozy place, especially the cafe.

Alexis T
Very helpful staff and good organisation. Nothing was hard to find, and if I needed help someone always knew where to find what I was looking for. Nice atmosphere and a wonderful collection.
Reverend Richard Stoneking
Super bloated pricing. If you see anything you like, Google it. They are selling figures that must have some wild Alaska tax on them or something.
Anything I see that I like I search before ever thinking about buying.
Will Tremaine
They have a great collection of vinyl records and strange men reading magazines.

Absolutely my favorite book store in town. They have a fast and friendly staff. Would recommend.

This book store will always have what you are looking for, just not at the best price, if you are willing to do the looking, you can usually find it elsewhere for a better price.
