PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
---------------------
(To Prospectus dated July 18, 2001)


                              BARNES & NOBLE, INC.

                                  $300,000,000
                  5.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2009


     9,227,363 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion of the Notes

                           --------------------------


     This prospectus supplement relates to the resale of (i) up to $300,000,000
aggregate principal amount of our 5.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2009
and (ii) up to 9,227,363 shares of our common stock which are initially issuable
upon conversion of the notes by any holders thereof. The notes and the
underlying common stock may be offered from time to time for the accounts of the
selling securityholders named herein, in the prospectus dated July 18, 2001, or
in additional supplements to the prospectus. This prospectus supplement reflects
the purchase of notes by various selling securityholders since the date of the
prospectus.

     The notes are convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the
selling securityholder at any time prior to the close of business on the
business day immediately preceding March 15, 2009, unless previously redeemed or
repurchased, into shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $32.512 per
share (equivalent to a conversion rate of 30.7578 shares per $1,000 principal
amount of notes), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Our common
stock is traded on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BKS." On June
11, 2002, the last sale price for our common stock as reported on The New York
Stock Exchange was $30.11 per share.

     We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the notes or the
underlying common stock being offered by the selling securityholders. The notes
and the underlying common stock may be offered in negotiated transactions or
otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated
prices. In addition, the shares of common stock may be offered from time to time
through ordinary brokerage transactions on The New York Stock Exchange. See
"Plan of Distribution" in the prospectus. The selling securityholders and any
brokers, dealers or agents that participate with the selling securityholders in
the distribution of the notes or the underlying common stock may be deemed to be
"Underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, in which case any
commissions received by such brokers-dealers, agents or underwriters and any
profit on the resale of the notes or the underlying common stock purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act.

     NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS
PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

            THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS JUNE 18, 2002.

     The following table, which sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of notes by the selling securityholders and the number of

certain additional selling securityholders.

     Any or all of the notes or underlying common stock listed below may be
offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus supplement by the selling
securityholders from time to time. Accordingly, no estimate can be given as to
the amount of the notes or underlying common stock that will be held by the
selling securityholders upon consummation of any such sales. In addition, the
selling securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of all or a portion of their notes since the date on which the

registration requirements of the Securities Act. The table has been prepared
based on information furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling

     We prepared this table based on the information supplied to us by the
selling securityholders named in the table.

     Other than their ownership of our securities, none of the selling
securityholders has had any material relationship with us within the past three
years, other than Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, which has acted as one
of our initial purchasers and/or underwriters. The selling securityholders
purchased all of the notes in a private transaction. All of the notes and the
shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible are "restricted
securities" under the Securities Act.
