This is a great little book store. We are so fortunate to have it at a time when even giants like Barnes and Noble are struggling. It’s a very browse friendly bookstore. They also have a lot of kids toys and gift items.
While shopping at the Barrington location, my friend waited in line for awhile to ask a question. There were 6 employees behind the counter, so it was strange to wait so long. When my friend expressed her disappointment in the situation, the owner was incredibly rude. Essentially told my friend if she didn't like to stand there and wait, maybe she should shop at WalMart. My friend was mortified. When she explained she wasn't trying to be rude, the owner told her, "There's the door." I have NEVER witnessed such poor customer service...even at WalMart. I will not shop there again. I can support such a rude and dismissive owner.
In addition to the books one would expect they've got a great selection of gifts for children, home and women. Some food items but Stonewall Kitchen, beautiful tableware!
Barrington Books has always been, and will continue to be, my family's choice of store for books and gifts. They are always kind and considerate of my children, and have been since they were quite young and would run around the store with a stuffed animal in tow. Any time we need a card, a last minute gift (that's of exceptional quality and fits the interests of any receiver), a book, or are looking for a leisurely stroll through the store, we can count on Barrington Books to deliver just the thing. I've been going there myself for over 25 years and I'm thrilled to be able to pass down this tradition, and the love of this store, to my children.
Yet such a variety of good, quality books, they are very over priced. I recommend you to go to the library across the street.
