POINT PLEASANT: Book…read moreshop Coffee shop Gift shop Event space Dog friendly! The Little Point Bookshop truly does it all. This independent bookstore and community hub is a warm, inviting space filled with thoughtfully curated books, special collections, and fun book-themed finds. The shop is full of character too, with cool touches like an old-school Pac-Man console and even a piano. Grab a comfy chair, flip through a new read, and sip on a drink from The 2nd Cup Cafe tucked in the back. As we wandered through the shop, there was an unmistakable sense of calm and happiness in the air. Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside, making it a perfect stop for book lovers and their pups.

Maybe there was and I missed it? This "bookstore " is in the Collingswood flea market so I understand and enough said. However, I bought 8 ( on was a set of 4 small, thin books in a sleeve) 8 childrens books that cost me 15.00 dollar. I was shocked but I didn't say anything. I should have asked how much each was I think, so my bad. I then took a look at the little alcove he has with all kinds of books that were well arranged. There I saw a sign that said 5.00 for each book. Now, there were hardbacks in really good shape, there were trade paperbacks in really good shape mostly, and then there were mass paperbacks. I'm found one hardcover that I really wanted and one trade paperback. I realized that I could buy both online at thriftbooks for most like less with no shipping cos, so I left. Maybe consider doing a price scale? if I hadn't just paid 15.00 for 8 children's books that I will be setting outside on Halloween for kids hat either can't have candy or would just like a fun book for free, I probably would have bought the books I wanted. Instead I left and I won be back.

They didn't have the specific book I was looking for on my last visit but I still left with a mystery "Blind Date with a Book" book!

I also love checking out their book club section on the far right wall for some recs for future reading. The team that was working that day let me know that almost everyone you see in store is a volunteer & that they host lots of events over the course of the year.

The Cooperative exceeds expectations and judging by the flow of book searching humans on a Saturday afternoon others have discovered this warm, comfy opportunity for discovery too!

I have been wanting to read something of Michener and discovered two near new versions of novels for $1 each. Such a wonderful island amidst Asbury Park's exciting restaurant and business scene. Stop in ... grab a book and disappear into your imagination!

Better than any commercial book store. The prices were standard along the lines of a B&N, and the store did offer many sale items and books. Everyone working in the store was very friendly and attentive. Will go back if I'm in Princeton again.

Considering there are not many large-format retail book stores left (I think B&N is really the only…read moreone), and just in general not as many book stores nowadays, I usually try to swing into one when I'm close by. You never know what you'll find or learn, which is part of the precious experience of exploring a book store. Also book stores have in some ways replaced stationary stores which used to be more common when people actually wrote physical notes/letters/cards to each other. (In some ways that's good to produce less paper waste, though that's an all together different conversation for a different time). Anyways, this is a fairly large B&N, with book categorized by subjects in each section. They have a good-sized children's section and aside from books and stationary, they carry games, toys, some manga and comics as well. Their periodicals section is unparalleled in today's digital age, so always interesting to peruse these for something different. The Starbucks inside is considered a separate entity from other regular SBs so you can't use your SB card or rewards here. Employees seemed to be helpful tho I didn't have much interaction tbh. Overall the store was very organized and clean, I wished I had a little more time to spend here!

I love bookstores, and NYC has lots of great ones. But the Strand Bookstore might be the best? It's a classic. It's the largest independent bookstore in the city, carrying 2.5 million used, new, and rare books (their tag line - "18 Miles of Books" refers to the fact that the shelf space in the store supposedly stretches over 18 miles)! Plenty of people just shop front their discount racks outside the sidewalk (where all books are $3-7) and then pop in just to pay. But the inside is incredible. More books than almost any bookstore I've ever been to. Still family-owned, over 100 years old, and with an emphasis on bookseller recommendations, it's just an excellent bookstore. When I stopped by on Sunday, I made it past about four tables and end displays - new fiction, signed books, and employee recommendations - about 50 feet into the store. I already had six books in my hands and decided I better leave quickly before I had a problem! Despite the size of the store and the number of shoppers, the line to check out was short and quick. With friendly customer service to boot. It's simply one of the best bookstores in the city. Maybe in the country, too?! Definitely check it out.

Strand Book Store is a landmark family owned bookstore famous for its "18 miles of books" and a massive inventory of over 2.5 million new, used, and rare titles. There are four floors - the first floor which is usually very busy and chaotic features a vast collection of new releases and best-sellers, and a wide variety of Strand themed merchandise The lower level is mainly non-fiction and music and travel section. The second floor has art, photography, architecture and children's books. The third floor is rare books. The store is packed with books and if you cannot find a book here it may not exist. It is easy to spend hours browsing through the aisles.
