点评:I was searching for a book and saw it in stock on the Booksmith's website - since it's a bit of a drive, I called in advance to make sure it was there and the woman was super helpful. She even went and grabbed it off the shelf and put it behind the customer service counter for me to pick up later (you have 3 days to pick up reserved books which is super convenient).
I was blown away when I got to the bookstore later in the day! I expected a smallish independent bookstore and this place was huge and packed with cool stuff. Lots of items like candles, baubles, jewelry, even food items in a kitchen section. I was really impressed with the selection! And, of course, tons and tons of books. Probably the largest selection in a non-box store that I've ever seen.
It was very busy and crowded but the design made it so it was easy to get by people and there were so many displays you were able to browse in relative peace. Even the line which was long went very fast. Some of the prices were a bit higher than I'd like to pay but the quality of all of their display items really looked good. I walked away with a random Greek food item and my book and was pretty happy and satisfied. I'll visit again for sure and recommend it to all book lovers!
翻译:我正在寻找一本书,并在 Booksmith 的网站上看到它有货 - 因为它有点开车,所以我提前打电话确保它在那里并且那个女人非常乐于助人。她还去把它从书架上拿下来放在客服柜台后面让我稍后去取(你有3天的时间去取预定的书,超级方便)。
当天晚些时候到达书店时,我惊呆了!我期待一家小型独立书店,但这个地方很大,里面装满了很酷的东西。许多物品,如蜡烛、小玩意、珠宝,甚至厨房区的食品。选择给我留下了深刻的印象!当然,还有成吨的书。可能是我见过的非盒子商店中最大的选择。
它非常繁忙和拥挤,但设计使它很容易被人们找到,而且有这么多的展示,你可以相对平静地浏览。即使是很长的线也走得很快。有些价格比我愿意支付的要高一些,但他们所有陈列品的质量看起来确实不错。我带着随机的希腊食品和我的书走开了,非常高兴和满足。我一定会再次访问并推荐给所有书迷!
