The Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Santa Monica (look in the 3rd Street Promenade) is by far the most attractive book store I've been to. It just screams classy. If you're in the mood to browse and look for books in a place that makes you feel as if you were in a movie looking for books, try this place out. The service is decent. The best part is getting lost and finding your way out from inbetween the bookshelves. The magazine section is not as big as others. But everything else is comparable.
