i will second the recommendation for this member card.  i got mine when  
i saw the new O'Reilly HACKS series all marked 30% off (another 10% w/  
card).  a good deal on some really cool books.  (10% discount applies  
to everything in the store).

it stinks to blow $25.00, but if you buy a few books a year it will pay  
you back.  plus, i've had problems with B&N locations accepting the  
trilug card (this was about 2 years ago - may have been fixed), so i  
went ahead and joined the BORG.

best,
