MauiTime Best of Maui 2015: Best Bookstore on Maui Barnes on Noble
BEST BOOKSTORE ON MAUI Barnes and Noble Okay, it may be Maui’s only book store (well, the only corporate chain that’ll sell all books of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy). That doesn’t take away from the magnificence of Barnes and Noble, and I’m not even referring to the cafe inside. Shelves holding topics from […]

Best Bookstore Photo credit to Sean M. Hower Barnes & Noble For those of you who still like to read new books that are printed on paper, this is the Maui’s only bookstore. And yeah, they have a lot of books (including, at one time, books that were somehow written by me) as well as […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2013: Best Bookstore on Maui: Barnes & Noble
Best Bookstore Barnes & Noble On an island with just a single store dedicated to selling new books, I can see why readers chose Barnes & Noble. They’re a big chain, with rows of shelves full of books (including my three books, which makes me admittedly biased on this one). They carry a considerable number […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2012: Best Bookstore on Maui: Barnes & Noble
Best Bookstore Barnes & Noble Given that this is the only place on the island to buy new book, music and movie releases (as well as those cool LEGO architecture sets), and the fact that the good people at Barnes & Noble agreed to sell my own novel and host book signings for me so […]

BEST BOOKSHOP Barnes & Noble 325 Keawe St., Lahaina 662-1300 barnesandnoble.com @BNBuzz on Twitter We’re assuming that the MauiTime readers who picked Barnes & Noble as best bookshop either voted from their smart phones (and are still happily lost in the stitch-and-spine sprawl), or they Hansel & Greteled their trip by leaving a cafe croissant […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2009: Best Bookstore on Maui: Borders Books & Music
BOOKSTORE Borders Books & Music Even though Maui has been giving Borders love for two years in our Best of Maui edition, it’s not immune to the economic downturn. The mega-bookstore that carries thousands of books and music in a comfortable and convenient package is one satellite store short this year. The closing of Border’s at Whaler’s Village in […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2008: Best Bookstore on Maui: Requests
BEST BOOKSTORE Requests Different people have different views about what makes a good record store. For some, it’s all about selection and convenience (see our runner up). But for those who value that funky, scruffy, off-beat quality and would rather thumb through hard-to-find titles than run straight for the latest top 40 hit, Requests is […]
MauiTime Best of Maui 2008: Best Bookstore on Maui: Borders
BEST BOOKSTORE Borders On an island like Maui you can’t just waltz in from the Mainland with a big, fancy attitude and expect everyone to love you. It takes time to win over the Maui crowd, and Borders has definitely punched that clock. Besides the super-stocked Kahului store with a huge inventory of books and […]

MauiTime Best of Maui 2006: Best Bookstore on Maui: Borders Books & Music
BEST BOOKSTORE Borders Books & Music It’s not an independent like Wailuku’s Maui Booksellers, but you almighty readers have deemed Borders the best bookstore in all the land.

BEST BOOKSTORE borders Okay, so you love Borders. And with 20,000 square feet of books, music, videos and yoga mats, it’s easy to see why.

MauiTime Best of Maui 2004: Best Bookstore That Isn’t Borders: Waldenbooks-Borders Express
BEST BOOKSTORE THAT ISN’T BORDERS Waldenbooks (aka, Borders Express) Are you kidding? What about… oh, wait—there aren’t any other unused bookstores. I mean, on principle, there’s Old Lahaina Book Emporium, Friends of The Library in Kahului and Paperbacks Plus in Wailuku. But they’re all used bookstores so I guess you’re off the hook for voting […]

Best Used Bookstore OLD LAHAINA BOOK EMPORIUM Move aside all you unWest Mauians because Lahaina’s got the best used bookstore. I know, big deal.
