Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	Legal Proceedings BNED is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, benefits, personal injuries and other matters. BNED records a liability when BNED believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on our current knowledge, BNED does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the final outcome of any pending or threatened legal proceedings to which BNED or any of our subsidiaries are a party, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our future financial results. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
