The place is really nice and I love the sofas near the windows. The sofas are not that comfortable but their location is nice! I like this place when it's not crowded.
I like the new designs they have for the Brown t-shirts. Got one that I am going to wear often.
The main entrance to this bookstore (on Thayer St) is a powerful buskers’ magnet. During warmer months, you will often see “street musicians” and vendors (sunglasses, braided “jewelry”, etc) set up near this bookstore. I’ve also met several “RI celebrities” at this spot (Michelle Kwan, Robert Healey Jr., Patriots player Zach Moore, singer songwriter Dan Blakeslee etc). One of, if not THE, best people watching spots in the whole Ocean State IMO
Very bad electronics at high prices. They take advantage of your urgency and do not strive for true excellence as expected from Brown. Other than that, though, I like it. It has improved over the years, it seems, believe it or not.
The service was great and fast... they had set up some additional cash registers to handle the rush and it was fast and smooth.
Am going back to look for more books today.... :)
Everything is pricy here, but Brown apparels or items are really good and designed beautifully. But it's expensive.
Good selection of gifts, albeit somewhat pricey (nothing atypical for a university bookstore/gift shop, however). It's hard to compete with retailers like Amazon as far as books go, but for the convenience factor local shops always win.
Went to Bookstore three times over reunion and commencement week-end. Got EVERYTHING I needed including a Brown hat, tie, bag, books, graduation card, and.... did I know I needed this... Brown chocolate!
