There is a bookstore that I go to in the market when I want to get a new book, Dianze bookstores. They sell books that are original, but quite expensive.
There are not many books stores where I live. There is a book store called Chapters which sell books, magazines, and Newspapers. There are a few stores which sell used books.
The local department store and discount and dollar stores also sell books.
Half-price books and Barnes & Noble
I avoid Barnes & Noble because it is too expensive.
Half price books were reasonably priced before inflation.
If I do buy any books I use ebay, thriftbooks or find another online site when searching for a book.
There seems to be more Barnes and Noble stores around than Books-a-million.
Regardless, I do tend to purchase books from the bargain section as well. Sometimes they have a buy 2 and get the 3rd free deal on their bargain section.
I live rural so we don't have many. Barnes & Noble would be the only one. Otherwise I count libraries as a bookstore as sometimes they have events & book fairs.
Barnes & Noble. I dont know if anyone here is old enough to remember them, but Waldenbooks were huge back in the day, especially in malls. I loved going in there and getting Goosebumps books.
