With half a dozen outlets in the area (Aventura, South Miami, Kendall, etc.) and more on the way, this huge chain offers anything readers could ask for, including a comfortable cafe, a large children's section, and tons of magazines. Plus, the chain gives you a 10% discount on all bestsellers and has incredible closeout specials. They often schedule readings with noted authors, too. Of the Miami-area locations, this branch has an especially nice little scene, featuring local intellectuals, students, and professors from the nearby University of Miami.
