Barnes & Noble.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Barnes & Noble, Inc., a publicly traded company listed on the NYSE under the symbol "BKS."

Barnes & Noble.com leverages the power of the Barnes & Noble brand to offer online customers the Web’s premier destination for books, music, DVD, video games, and related products and services.

The Internet's Largest Bookstore

Taking advantage of vast warehouses across the United States, we stock over 1 million titles for immediate delivery -- that's more titles than any other online bookseller.

With so many titles, it is vital to give customers an easy way to find precisely the books they are looking for. Our fast search engine enables customers to locate books by title, author, or keyword in a few seconds at most. And our groundbreaking BookBrowser lets users sift through hundreds of categories to find exactly the right book. To further assist the customer, we offer descriptions, reviews, and excerpts, in addition to editor recommendations and customer reviews on hundreds of thousands of titles.

Barnes & Noble.com has also created a number of thorough, easy-to-use, market-specific stores, including Audiobooks; and the Sale Annex.

We also offer What America's Reading -- our feature area devoted to wide-ranging bestseller lists and commentary on fascinating trends -- and Meet the Writers, which is filled with profiles of favorite authors, biographies, and exclusive audio and video interviews.

More than Books

Barnes & Noble, Jr. is the ideal destination for anyone looking for the best in children's books, videos, and music. With age-based recommendations, as well as specialty stores that cater to Harry Potter and other big titles, it's the ultimate one-stop shop for kids.

With DVD skyrocketing in popularity, our DVD & Video Store's 40,000 titles make it the destination of choice for movie lovers, whether they enjoy Blockbusters, Art House rarities, or Kids favorites. Features like the B&N Screening Room, where you can view more than 10,000 full-length previews -- and instantly order what you have seen -- make it the most customer-friendly site around.

Our Music Store has been named the Web's best by Forbes.com. The premier site for Classical, Jazz, Rock, and World music, the store's rich content includes exclusive interviews, free downloads, over 1 million sample audio clips, nearly 100,000 music reviews, and a roster of 40,000 artist biographies.

And our PC & Video Games store will satisfy every gamer's whim with thousands of new and used titles, as well as consoles, accessories, and strategy guides

Filled with 15,000 selections -- from Harry Potter book jackets to New Yorker magazine covers and cartoons -- our Prints & Posters store offers beautiful, high-quality reproductions on canvas or paper in a variety of sizes.
