This bookstore has never even once had whatever book I was looking for. It's not like I have totally weird taste in books, right? I like out-of-print books about 17th-century explorers no one has…

Like a shining behemoth, you tower over an end of the Downtown area, showing us your large collection of books and former bank exterior/interior. And yet, you can only whelm us with your large…

I hate the lighting. With so many books and so many people sitting on the floors reading, there should be enough light for me to look where I'm going. They usually don't have what I'm looking for and…

Yes, this is a review of a chain. But it is a review of this specific location. I overheard someone say they were renovating this location. I hope that's the excuse for not having much selection,…

If you can put aside the bathroom reviews of the place, it is actually a good location where you can spend much time with its fairly large collection of books in its two stories. It is one of the few…

I only come here when I have a coupon and I'm bored at work and want to go for a walk. I don't really like the layout of the place, the escalators are annoying because they are the skinny kind and I…

2 points for being a premier location for people watching. This Borders is by far one of the worst books stores I have been in. But given its superb location it is a perfect place to take a gander at…

This is the worst Borders store I have ever been to. It only misses getting 1 star because of its great location. So what does this store suck? It's not because of the grimy bathrooms or hordes of…

Ok, the bathroom stories in the review of this place are just plain scary. And I don't want to think about it anymore lest I shudder more in disgust. Aside from that though, I appreciate the…

It's not the nicest Borders I've been to, but it's quick - even though it's ALWAYS busy. I'm taking 2 stars away because of the typical-Downtown Crossing vagrants and because lately I haven't been…

If you are a bibliophile, this is the place for you. They have about every book imaginable, if it is not in stock they will order it for you, and the library like atmosphere provides a calming place

This was *my* Borders when I used to work right downtown. It's an old bank, which is neat because they use the old vault to house "journals", if I recall correctly.

Lotsa homeless people but a good seating area up top. Book selection is pitiful. Russ -- Seattle's Best was actually acquired by Starbucks in 2005 or 2006. They just keep the brands separate because…

All bookstores are neat, but this store has a neat design. There are 3 floors technically, although the 2nd floor is just where the dirty bathrooms are and tables for the coffee shop. I like Borders…

Jenny N got it right in a previous review. This place is dirty. It stinks. It's located in an area with many vagrants and pickpockets. It has to be the nastiest Borders in the entire chain. There are…

This place may be good for books (from reading other reviews) but they should remove "Music" from their name. They have the worst music collection I have ever seen. While the staff is helpful and…

I've visited this location every now and then--it's not the best in design. I've used the bathroom once. It wasn't great, but it wasn't as nightmarish as some other reviewers have described. Apparently…

Great selection, friendly staff, lots of room to sit and read in the cafe. Yes, the bathrooms are not the best. But come on, people! This is a city! Be happy they actually HAVE a public restroom.

It automatically gets at least 3 stars for being a bookstore, even if it is a chain. They have a great magazine collection, and their selection of history and military books kicks ass (yup, you can…

I don't understand the Boston area's fascination with Barnes and Noble. If you are going to go to a big chain bookstore, Borders is by far the best. What most people don't realize is that small…
