• And other suburban locations One of the country’s best-known book discounters, B & N sells all new hardcovers at 20% off the cover price; same discount for paperbacks on the New York Times bestseller list. In addition, some 15-20 “staff recommendations” are marked 30% off.
There is an extensive selection of remainder books, such as Stephen King’s Dolores Claiborne, right after the release of the movie, marked down from $23.50 to $6.99. And then there are the $1 shelves, with books by Arthur C. Clarke and Erma Bombeck. Now there’s a combination for ya.
They also host a full slate of author appearances, storytelling, and the like; see the listing under “Entertainment Readings and Literary Events.” In 1995, B & N added the Boston University Bookstore in Ken-more Square into its fold. Store hours vary, but all branches are open seven days, including every evening but Sundays.
