Borders has a large variety of books, dvds, magazines. If you sign up to their emailing list, I've found that there are always good vouchers and specials that they tell you about. There's also Gloria Jeans in there so its a great place to grab a book and relax with coffee.

Great range of books at good prices. Staff was very helpful and the service at the check out was good. When they are busy it is a little slow. Helpful when you are unable to find the book you want.

Approximate cost: $30

Borders is always the place to go if your looking for a book that is hard to find. They have a huge range of everything. I just love the Manga collection and would love to buy all. It's always great for sitting down and reading the book a bit, to see if you like it.

These guys have a massive range of books, and staff to help search for those items that you just cant find. Can be a little pricey and hard to navigate but the selection is worth it

I'm a regular visitor. The range is excellent and they have most titles I'm looking for. I especially like the library-style catalogue search stations, they are EXCELLENT! The service is fairly impersonal, with staff usually only at counters, but these staff are very friendly and helpful. Book prices are higher than most bookshops, and I often find myself browsing Borders then shopping around for the product at a lower price. The range of stationery is great quality but again at higher-than-usual prices. The cafe is an added bonus.

Borders is such a treat to visit, their selection is excellent and their staff are really helpful and knowledgeable - love having the Cafe on-site because there is nothing better than grabbing a good read and going to start devouring it with a decent cuppa... love Borders oh and online too but the store is better!

I really really love this store. I love books, so this massive store in the city is like a dream come true for me. They have books on everything and if they don't have it in stock, they will try their best to get it in for you. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It is obvious that they love books themselves and they share their enthusiasm with their customers, which is great!

What a range! I love this store because it is so big, and stocks so many books under every category. Naturally some categories are over-represented but they have such a range that you are bound to find something that suits any one.

Boarders is a great place in town to visit if you've got some time to kill. Great range of magazines, heaps of imported ones.

A very good range of 'popular' books. The prices however are a bit high compared to department stores and places like Kmart so its good to go there have a browse then get the book elsewhere.

Love how the staff don't mind if you sit down and read the books (they've got chairs upstairs)

Wide range of books, friendly service and a cafe. It's a good place to shop for books, and they also have Dvd's and a whole range of other products. It's somewhere i like shopping for gifts.

Borders is a lovely store to visit if you know what you are looking for and where to find it. God help you if you don't, because there is never anyone available to help. It's great to be able to refuel with a coffee, in store, mid-read.

There was an amazing selection of books, all at decent prices. There was also a good selection of CDs. There weren't enough staff to keep up with demand, however the staff were very helpful to speak to. It's also pretty cool having the cafe inside.

A good bookshop that has it all. Once you have purchased your book you can sit back and relax in the coffee shop. At times I find the staff to be a little rude. But otherwise the atmosphere is great.

Best prices in adelaide for most books. Have a big range and always have some good specials. Books DVDs and music, as well as a coffee shop in the back. Best day to day book store.

Steady on tiger.. I don't think they are the best prices on books in Adelaide. Any general bookshop is cheap. They have one or two specials and then the back list is more expensive than the shops 100 metres down the road. For CD's and DVD's go to JB Hifi for cheap prices and a better range.

A very pleasant store with plenty of coverage of a wide range of topics. Browsing at your leisure is great without pesky sales people bothering you. Also have great email newsletter that gives you great vouchers.

Approximate cost: $40
