There is a huge range of books to choose from. They are categorized well. The staff are helpful. The price is a little expensive compared to other shops.

I love going to this store as they have a large selection of books and magazines. I often peruse around here. I like to sit on their chairs/couches and read whenever I have free time. No one disturbs me which, is fanastic. I like the fact that you can have a coffee and read in the shop. I have found staff here to be quite friendly.

This is a huge bookstore, has heaps of books to choose from, you could browse for hours! I think the prices can be hit and miss though.

I had a Borders voucher that I need to use. I still find that these store need more maps around the place for 'floating' staff to be able to help you. Even though they have their computers there for us to look up things, it is still very confusing to find things. I found it more frustrating having to stand in a queue for a long period of time just to be pointed in the direction of where the book might be. What happened to staff actually taking you to where something might be - I still didn't find what I was after so still to this day I haven't used the voucher. Maybe next time I'm shopping I'll try again.

For such a large store it's actually pretty easy to find what you are looking for. I had a particular book that I was after and even though they didn't stock it in the store I visited they were very helpful locating the book. They also suggested to purchase it online which has no delivery costs. Although you can't beat the actual expreience of browsing through a book store, in this instance this was the perfect option for me.

I love this place, it's so big and has every book you could ever find. The shop is new and the setting is great. There's even a Gloria Jean's in there. There are 2 levels to the shop and so you can imagine how big it is.

Borders do have a huge range, which is great, but I find they're ALWAYS quite a bit above the RRP, which is very annoying when it's the only place to find a particular book! It's usually pretty hard to find a staff member to ask for help, and the lines are usually pretty long, too.

staff helpful in locating a book published in America which usually not available in Dymocks or other bookshops. There is also an area which you can test drive the latest laptops. There is also a table displaying books and artifacts with a theme, which I really enjoyed
