This is probably my favourite branch of the country's largest bookstore. It's not small enough to be cramped, but it's not large enough to get lost in. This branch of B&N is located on the fourth floor of the Palisades Center Mall (right across from the AMC movie theatre), and it's a nice place to spend an afternoon. There's a café with tables and chairs set up, so you can sip a coffee and read through prospective books before you decide to buy. You can also browse through the music department which, though small, carries an impressive collection of harder-to-find titles. (Seriously: you wouldn't be able to find anywhere NEAR as many classical, jazz, or international CDs in Best Buy as you would in this store.) The staff of the store is usually very friendly, too, so feel free to ask them if you're looking for anything.
