Barnes & Noble Booksellers

Barnes & Noble is always a great place to be. This particular one is no different. While this B&N could use a makeover on the inside, its selection is pretty superior to other ones I’ve been to. I walked in and found everything I wanted immediately. I realize that I could’ve been there on a good day, but considering the amount of traffic in the store at the time, it’s pretty impressive. I highly recommend this particular store, and the chain as a whole. My only complaint here is the inside of the store, and the organization. Could use a little work. But it will most likely have whatever you need.

Wow! Where to start with B&N! It is Amazing. It has a wide variety of Books, CDs and DVDs. There is a children section for young readers, with an amazing setting and selection of books. The adult and teen selection must have thousands of books. From fiction, to non-​fiction, to historical, to fantasy, to biography. Plus, there is a little doctor who section for all you fans. The only thing that makes me sad is that these are the reason that independent bookstores are dying.
The coffee shop is also very impressive. The coffee is from Starbucks, and a few of the pastries are from the cheesecake factory. The downside would be the seating. There is pretty much only two-​people tables which is inconvenient if you want to hang out with a group.

Love this store!!! Phenomenal everything!

Ever been to a Barnes and Noble?
Great, this place is ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME.
For some reason I find myself coming to bookstores more than I should. I mean, I read a book every 3 months or so. But, alas, I’ve been here a handful of times already. And its a pretty good location.
Nothing really new here. Its a big-​box brick-​and-​mortar bookstore. They probably have what you’re looking for or can get it for you if they don’t. Every time I’ve been here there has been staff available should I need help but no one approaches you if you don’t seek them out. Probably the way it should be.
All in all, a positive experience.

This review is primarily for the horrendous coffee shop they have the nerve to call a Starbucks. $ 5 grande lattes should taste better than day old Folger’s! Ordered 2 peppermint mochas, 2 chocolate milks for the kids, and a cookie. $ 16. Neither latte had ANY sweetener or syrup. The 17 year old with dread locks making them didn’t agree; instead of remaking, she argue. Terrible experience will not be back, Dunkin is better than this place.

This review is based on a return.
I had a crappy experience at the B&N closest to me so I gave the Hingham store a chance. I dealt with the manager, Corey, and Evan, the fellow working with the Nooks. Both were very nice, very professional, and extremely helpful. I left really happy with my experience & especially all the info Evan gave me about the Nook. I’ll definitely be back to this store over Braintree — It smells better, the people are nicer, and it looks a lot more organized!

It’s one of the few, large bookstores on the South Shore, south of Braintree.
Thank goodness they move the books around one in a while. Otherwise it would get pretty boring. Each Barnes & Noble store seems to be somewhat unique.

This is a typical big box bookseller, well one of the last ones left I guess. B&N is average at best, what makes this location a bit above the fray is the Starbucks inside it. The service is prompt & always with a smile. The seating area is spacious, inviting & the free wifi is nice.

I have to give this place a good amount of credit. Not only have they survived as the last big-​box brick-​and-​mortar bookstore around, their Hingham location has managed to find a balance between staffing, organization, and stock. You can find what you need, if you need assistance, there’s someone there to help you out. Their Nook department is staffed with folks who know about that item, and in general, you can get anything you need.
Props to the folks who manage this place — keep it up, and keep it smooth.

Bookstores are a dying breed and it makes me very sad. One of my favorite things is to browse the racks to find the perfect book. E-​Readers and going to be slowly making the printed book obsolete. I will be buying a Kindle soon but I’ll always prefer to go to a bookstore.

This is one of the better Barnes & Nobles in the area. The Prudential B&N is always crowded and the shelves are a mess. The Braintree location is small and often under-​stocked. Like Goldilocks would say, this B&N is just right.
The store itself is large and it seems like they always have the most popular titles in stock. Rarely have I seen the shelves emptied after popular title releases. The coffee bar area is clean, and there is plenty of space to sit and read or use your laptop.
What sets this location off from the rest is the staff. They are helpful, friendly, and always willing to help you find your way around the store to find the title you’re looking for. Furthermore, they are great for collecting recommendations on «what to read next» after you find the title you’re looking for!
The only bad part about this store is (aside from getting in and out of the Derby Street Shoppes) the packs of middle school and high school age kids that run around the store being loud and obnoxious. Unfortunately, management just plays a deaf ear to it.

They serve Starbucks, which is cool, and the free wifi is very nice, but there is this loud beeping (a faulty alarm) that gets really annoying. It chirps probably every three minutes. Typical corporate response. Nothing. The manager won’t (or can’t) do anything about it! She said «I don’t even notice it anymore»! Wow, just wow.
