Love This – Barnes & Noble
.
I love books and magazines and coffee and beautiful bookish things, so I love Barnes & Noble.
Barnes & Noble had its start in 1873 when Charles Barnes began a book printing business in Wheaton, Illinois; but it was his son, William, who opened the first bookstore in New York City with G. Clifford Noble in 1917.
When I walk into a Barnes & Noble store, I experience pure delight. You’ve got to love that.

The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it.

Mum loves bookstores but they really seem to be going out of fashion now everything is so cheap on the Internet and what with e readers too. It’s such a shame. Mum’s best friend works in a book store but her hours have been cut and cut and now there is talk of redundancy Deccy x
I love bookstores, too! I rarely go now that I have a Kindle. I have to admit though that the photo made my heart race a little. 😀
How appropriate that on my birthday you highlight one of my favorite places! 😀 Are we related?!! I think maybe so.
Barnes & Noble is one of my favorite places in the world! It’s one of our favorite Friday night haunts.
I love browsing book stores too!
