Menu for Barnes & Noble in Pikesville, MD

I?ve been to several Barnes and Nobles and this is by FAR the greatest one I?ve ever been to. I don?t normally write reviews but... this place left an impression on me like no other. Firstly, the staff. They hire kind and friendly people. Especially Kyle! Hewelcomed me warmly and made me feel at home the entire time I was there. Such a swell guy, we need more people like him in theworld. Second, the selection. I could spend days there. They have a lot of books. And not just a lot - a lot of interesting onesthat you seldom find in other stores - it is as though their selection is very carefully picked with the most provoking andinteresting material, especially in the non-fiction section. Seriously impressive. The science fiction area was also large,which I always appreciate. Their selection of board games and puzzles is also quite astonishing for a book store, so that was anice surprise. They also have a wall of coffee table reads that pop out at you with illustrative title covers that beg to beopened. Their gaming books are right there in the open too. They have all the fun stuff presented to you in full glory. I feltlike a kid in a candy store for the first time. Lastly, something about the layout just pulls it all together. Unlike other B&Nswhere you walk down endless aisles of shelves from one section to the next in some monotonous assembly line fashion, this one isorganized with a sense of personality and varying texture, making it fun just to walk around. It?s hard to explain but you willsee what I mean if you ever have the pleasure to visit. Good job to the team that runs this store, you guys are doing afantastic job. Cez Read more
