Always love stopping in and trading in books at the end of my semester for store credit. I usually…read moreturn that right around and get new novels for the next semester. Owner is sooo friendly and very intelligent! She is always helpful when asked and happy to talk about literature or family. Books are priced fair, and it's always worth turning in some books for store credit, their system is perfect for a revolving door of patronage. Always a lovely time here!

I have shopped in many used bookstores in the Philadelphia/New Jersey/Delaware Valley area, and…read morethis was the worst customer service I have experienced! The woman working there was not very friendly, and when I first "found" her (she was not visible, and I said, "Hello, is anybody here?", to which she did not reply), she acted as if I was bothering her. She asked me what genres I was interested in, went and pointed out where a few were, and then left me. She was then talking to a regular customer, and seemed more interested in "gabbing" with him. There was no explanation from her of their pricing scheme, and since she was chatting with that customer, I felt like I should ask another customer, who was nice enough to explain it. I guess that I was spoiled by Labyrinth Books the day before when I was in Princeton, which gave me excellent customer service from every employee there that I came in contact with - probably the best I've ever had! I plan to return to the area, but I will never come back here.

Lots and lots of parking available . It's actually a good place with so many different shops around . Service was average . Some parts of the store was haphazard and all items were not neatly arranged . Price was good and affordable . We got so many stuff for a cheaper price here . They have some good collections of home items and lots of other stuff . Good experience overall. 4 stars

Many cite the 'thrill of the hunt' as they hoover spatulas and Bolivian bath towels but basically this is just another last chance liquidator that could use a good scrub.

The location is on a cozy little side street in a cool-looking town, not too far from Princeton. There's side-street parking, but it's easier to park in the tiny lot next to the shop. Inside, there is a regularly updated new issue section. As well as a decent selection of trade paperbacks. And the employees who work there are always super nice, friendly, and tremendously welcoming. However, the same cannot be said about the shop itself... Not only is the inside incredibly dusty with dirt in the bins and on the floors, but the boxes of back issue comics (which mostly sit on said floors) are completely unorganized and in the worst possible condition. Some books are bagged and boarded, some are loose and falling apart. Comics are so tightly packed in some bins that you can't even properly go through them without damaging the spines of multiple books. Now, regarding the selection in those back issue bins, most of it is $1-dollar to $2-dollar bin-worthy. Sure, you might find a couple of keys every now and again, but they are not worth the high sticker price given their condition. I remember the first time I was in the shop, when most of the back issues hadn't been priced out yet, and I was told that unmarked books were cover price, or $1 if the original cover price was below a buck. Now that pricing structure makes a lot more sense, I guess, given the general condition of most of the books. But as of my latest trip, most of those same back issues are now sticker-priced at incredibly high levels and do not reflect the general condition of the books (F-VG quality at NM prices). Plus, trying to access the bins is a challenge in itself since the shop is relatively small and there is often debris in the way or stacks of clutter on top that you have to move first, including a trash can that sits directly in front of a few rows of bins by the side entrance. So, until I hear they've lowered prices, carry better books, and just all-around better present the store itself, I won't pop in here again. You all have superhero charm, but you really need to clean up that shop to keep it from entering into supervillain territory!

Excellent experience all around. I was recommended this store by a friend of mine. I live a bit…read morefarther away but he loves this store and has been wanting to show me it for a while. I stopped by in the afternoon to look for an old Hulk issue and missing Nightwing for the current run. I wasn't sure what to expect when approaching the building as it just looked like a house but was excited to see how cool it was inside. Lots of posters right as you walk in for various ongoing/past comic series. They also have a large selection of back issues in all the different boxes with each series that they house labeled with a divider. I am personally more of a comic book person but they have lots of Funko Pops and other toys or action figures in the shop too. They even have a selection of old video games in the very back of the shop as well. Plenty of hardcover and trade paperback books as well. They really do have a good bit of everything for a smaller shop. I went in looking for really only 3 comics but ended up walking out with nearly the entire Spider-Boy run as they had just about all issues and I had been thinking of picking it up. One of what I believe is two owners was kind enough to give me a discount on the spider-boy books since I was buying so many of them for which I was very grateful. I only really had one complaint which is small for me but may be larger for others. Not all of their back issues are bagged and boarded at the time of this review so don't expect the back issues to be in very high condition. Additionally, even though the back issue selection is labeled. It is not easily discernible where each publisher starts or ends as in some areas they are mixed but in others they are separated. Regardless of that, I still had a phenomenal experience and would love to visit there again and even more regularly! Very kind service, very good selection, and very fair on pricing. I would recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area if you love comics, toys, or anything collectible!
