Reviews for Barnes & Noble in Santa Clarita, CA

It's fun letting my daughter run around and enjoy all they have to offer. The kids section is full of wonderful books and there... are plenty of toys. Read more

Good selection, polite and pleasant staff. Would be nice if they had a self-service kiosk where I can type in an author, and... have it show me a map in the store. Maybe one map pin for hardback, and one map pin for paperback. (Do any book stores havethat?) Read more

Barnes & Noble is in the middle of a transition to making itself better for book presentation but it?s always a classic and... worth stopping by to just relax. Read more

As one of the last surviving major bookshops it's always a pleasure to browse the isles and see what's new in literature. Plus... the members are always very helpful. Read more

A typical but good B&N store, with separate sections devoted to genres (crime/mystery, science fiction fantasy horror, business,... etc) and categories (a dedicated manga section with a good selection of the top series and mangaka, two separate graphic novelssections--one for adults, one for kids), a comprehensive children's books section. Magazines and stationery at the front rightof the store, visible through the front window as you enter. As usual these days, a number of table displays and all the primefront shelf displays feature discounted new bestsellers and lead titles, as well as a good mix of fiction genres. Young Adultgets some visibility, Middle Grade not so much. There's been some controversy on social media about B&N's decision to let eachstore choose its own lead titles for shelf display while downplaying or not stocking other, less high profile titles. This isdisappointing, but in my experience, all bookstores make choices and that means leaving the majority of new titles in anycategory or genre off the shelves, thanks to the sheer number of books being churned out by big, corporate publishers. Whatwould be nice is to see more indie books promoted in this location since Santa Clarita has probably the lowest concentration ofbookstores per square mile and per capita compared to other, better stocked neighborhoods in LA County. Still, at least we havethis one good, mainstream bookstore and that's better than nothing. Although, if you're a book addict on a budget like me, thenyou might want to check out the Valencia Branch of the Santa Clarita Public Library right across the street from this B&N. Ioften check out the B&N just to see what's good and new (just one of my many ways to "discover" books) then go across to thelibrary and place holds on the titles I want. Same great new books, absolutely free! Even B&N's discounts can't beat that! HappyReading! Read more
