“I have been coming to this B&N since 2006. This B&N has a very comfortable atmosphere, the set up is cohesive, and the cafe food and drinks are excellent. Speaking of which, Marvin - the Barista has been the best part of my experience. He is a hard worker and a perfectionistic when it comes to making the drinks at the cafe.”
“My book arrived in Canada within 1 week. The packaging was awsome and I was surprised to see 2 additional free books in the package! I will buy more books from islamicbookstore.com in future.”
10AM - 7PM
7006 Reisterstown Rd, Baltimore“Honest store with good prices. Sometimes help is hard to find cause there is usually only one employee managing the store at any given time, so expect a long wait. But they treat you fairly.”
“Amazing Judaica store with a large selection of Seforim, Judaica, Tzitizis, Kippahs and books. The people who work there are all super friendly and always making sure to help you find whatever you need. It is located in Falstaff shopping center between Star Nails and Rent a Center. Save A Lot is just two doors down so you can also get some grocery shopping done while your out.”
“These guys have a very large selection. And so many of their used books are actually in great condition. The few that are a little banged up are quite marked down. They have a very valuable membership for enthusiasts. The staff is quite friendly and collaborative. They also have a surprisingly large section of comics and graphic novels. A must stop for those that looks to collect blue rays and DVDs”
“This bookstore is so wonderful! A powerhouse of community engagement. I had several bags of young children's books to donate and when I came to drop them off, I learned that they have used and new books, along with an area for kids to play. They partner with the Children's House, and all new books purchased that you donate to the Children's House get a 15% discount and any used books you purchase for yourself donates a $1 to the Children's House. Jen is lovely and helpful, the bookstore is clean, organized, and welcoming. What a gem for the Catonsville community!”
“I love Books-A-Million. They have great bestsellers but also older books that you won't find on the shelves of most chains, plus used books, comics, dvds and all kinds of great merch from journals to bookmarks to t-shirts, if it's bookish of pop culture, they'll have it.”
“The newly built Barnes and Nobles in this center is an inviting space. They literally moved it to another location in the same shopping center. It's still cozy, has reading areas, and a welcoming atmosphere for book lovers to enjoy. I didn't stay long this time but I'll be back.”
“There's largely a decent selection, but I've shown up a few times over the years looking for something and have been told it's unavailable and would need to be ordered. Still worth a look, given it's fairly well stocked for a mall book store.”
“The associate was very helpful and polite she walked with me and directed me to my class.She out of her way to help me that was awesome, this is my first time at the Cantosville campus”
“Absolutely amazing resource in so many ways! Right now my family is doing language lessons, but I know they also offer Russian immersion arts and crafts sessions and other events. Plus they have an expansive selection of Russian language books for sale. They're a great community resource. We're so happy to have found East-West Cultural Center!”
“I love this store a lot. I had no idea the have one this area until my sister order a toy for a gift online. This one has more selection on stuff. It's vey big. The staff are nice and friendly.”

8600 Foundry St, Savage“Local public library was closed for the holidays and ventured out to this local independent shop about a mile away. My girls and I were pleasantly surprised with the little gem of a shop we found at the historic Savage Mill. Cozy, warm, great customer service and book/gift selections. My daughters are 12 and 9 and have very different tastes - all three of us found a plethora of books to choose from - even picked up other cute items like bookmarks and stuffed animals. Although they were disappointed the library was closed, this made for a great substitute. We’ll definitely be back again!”
“Love the UMBC Retrievers merchandise, thank you Darcy for helping me find some great apparel. Got the Champion Golden Grit shirt and the Blue84 Black True Grit hoodie. Awesome quality and looks great!”
““WTF?!?”“yeah Dad, what’s with that?”??♂️actually good for your typical airport newsstand. overpriced (but the airport charges outrageous rents) but the folks running the place were fast and friendly.”

4734 Trident Ct, Halethorpe“Drop & hook, piece of cake! Can be a little tight docking if cars are parked across from the docks. Only downside of this place is it's location if you have to pass through Baltimore, always a cluster f#$k! Stuck in dead stop traffic coming and going, turned a 2hr job into a 5hr job.”
“It's nice to have a shop on campus but FYI, they don't take meal swipe even if it's less than 6.60, you have to use flex or retriever dollars. (Or cash/credit)”
“This was my first visit to this wonderful book store, which has a far more extensive selection of pristine, leather-bound books than I’ve seen in most used bookstores – and at reasonable prices. I bought two books, which accentuate my décor considerably.”
