Books...my other obsession. If I'm not wandering around in foodie stores like Sur le Table a few doors down...I'm wandering the bookstores. When I go mall shopping with friends...they actually have to pull me away from the bookstores. I can't help it if I'd rather peruse the aisles of literature (or romance novels) rather than racks and racks of clothes that I'm not going to buy or can't wear. Barnes & Noble in Old Town Pasadena is definitely a shopping destination for me. They have a very good children section and I always find something for my nieces here. I'm the weird aunt that never buys toys. I buy books...and they love it...whether they know it or not.

Very generous bookstore. I really like this neighborhood bookstore. It just has such a nice atmosphere. Everytime i walk in, i feel at home. It can get very crowded on the weekends. It can be a nice getother place for teens and adults.

Its okay. This place seems to get a little to crowded at times but its pretty cool. It is kind of small but you will find just what you are looking for. The customer service is a little hard to find but hey.. they are so busy!

Not so bad. Just an average BN. The sitting isn't ample, the magazine selection could be better, and the store is not that large. If you are looking for a good BN check out the one in the shopping center at 3rd and Fairfax in LA.
