“It's perfectly located on campus. This book store has college must haves and more!! You will love the lay out of the store. You can find all the things you may need for a student and all the mom, dad, grandparent shirts, sweatshirts and mugs. There are plenty of things to choose from. Your friendly student staff are there to help you out”
“The convenience of buying books in person over ordering online through a former book selling website that now sells everything. Looks like they haven’t modernized this Barnes & Noble like they have with other locations (that I’ve seen on TikTok). I hope they don’t change the look because the new look ain’t it.”

“I had a day off and decided to check out Ontario since moving into the IE in the past year. When I checked for "books" in Yelp, this was one of the shops that came up, but I couldn't tell on what they had based on the pictures, so a visit was needed! Came by on a Friday, and curb parking was available! I'm not sure how busy it gets on weekends, but there seems to be ample street parking. Was friendly greeted upon walking in, and this place is SO MUCH BIGGER than I could figure out based on the original Yelp/Google pictures. Yes, they have magazines and newspapers, but they have books! Some of the books are a little bit aged, but the employee did confirm that they get new shipments EVERY WEEK, and they definitely had modern books (omg, they had the Iron Flame book with the black-edged pages....). Also, they have such an assortment of books! Educational/exam prep, computer, self-help, fiction, religious, non-fiction, coloring books, westerns, crafts, etc. etc, they basically have it all! And some art signed! Some are on sale/discounted! I loved that they had something for everyone, and there are some items that are a little bit older/kitschy, but it still brought joy to my heart. I mean, come on, finding those type of "privacy" signs for kids' bedroom doors are a little dated, but it's also quite cute. And, paperdolls! I haven't seen any of those classics in a long time, and it's so cool to see them still be available! I definitely went home with a lot of hardcover books, most that were signed! The employee was kind to also provide me with a number of bookmarks. Highly, highly recommend on making a visit here. I feel that bookstores are a dying breed, and they're needed to help provide people with different outlooks. This particular store has been there for at least 50 years and maybe it should at least be there for another 50! Also, I did ask the employee if I could take pictures, as there's just SO MUCH that I didn't know they had based on the original Yelp pictures. Got the thumbs up, and tried to take as many pictures as I could while shopping. Enjoy!”

3625 Grand Ave, Chino Hills“It's fun coming to Barnes & Noble. The staff is welcoming and always greeting us. My son loves the children's corner. He gets to look through so many books that it is difficult deciding on which one to buy him, so we end up buying more than what we originally planned. Books are awesome! But they have more than books here. We love checking out the board game section as well. They have so many!!! Repeat customers forever!”

478 S San Antonio Ave, Pomona“Excellent selection ! Found a nice, age matched bible for our teen son. The service here is stellar. Thankful to have found this Bible store since the one in Upland closed.”
“It's not a very big store, but it has the essentials for school, nursing, and art students as well as the necessary textbooks. Aside from that they have some fun art stuff, snacks, and beverages. The staff was lovely, very helpful and kind overall.”

1760 Foothill Blvd, Upland“I like the changes I see in this small Goodwill, only thing is it was a book store before. Now it's clothes, housewares and accessories. Not many books here.”
“The Bronco Bookstore At Cal Poly Pomona Is A Great Place For Students To Shop At For All Of Their College Gear And Essentials. There Are Several Items For Students To Get From Technology To College Gear And Books. In Other Words, This Store Carries Out All The College-Related Apparel For Any Student Who Needs Them. Here Is A Photo Of Me In My Cap And Gown, Which Is The Place That I Got My Graduation Gear In March 2024”
“The new Chino Campus Bookstore layout made visiting Chaffey College like it used to be for only books, school supplies and coffee but this huge lounge made it feel like cafeteria was nearby. But no prepared food, only the usual snacks, microwave and coffee were available but at least with somewhere inside to sit, finally.”
“It’s a convenient store before you board your plane. They have snacks and books and even small souvenirs. I was surprised to see they have Evian water in glass bottles, that was a plus! The cashier was friendly and nice! Overall a good experience!”
“Great book store. Of course, it's cheaper online, but nothing compares to holding the book you're about to buy. Saving time is more important to me than having to save a few bucks online only to possibly end up with a book that may have not been the best option. Great staff. They give good advice. Bathrooms and coffee are available.”
