It's quite a bit of space to drop no doubt. It's been probably 5 years since I was in that particular store last, but at the time it didn't have as much non-book junk as most B&N's I've been to. It did have a small cafe/coffee shop (smaller than many B&N's probably because there was a Starbucks right outside the store's entrance) which I'm sure has been supplanted by the new & improved restaurant area. Also being a single level they don't have the lost space the old one did from the wide staircase between levels.
