    Located in the heart of Bay Village, LBI Book Swap is the place to be. With multiple floors of all kinds of books, the adventuring never ends. If you've ever been to the bookstore in Montclair you'll know how cool this place really is. It gives me the same vibes with its sectioned out genres and little corners of comic books and puzzles. The owner is incredibly nice and will always chat with you a checkout. You absolutely have to stop by here if you're going to the beach, what better way to soak in the sun than with a good book? The store does buy and swap books so bring some with you! They have a ton of new titles out in the front but the good stuff is in the second floor in my opinion! Kids section is downstairs. In the upper level you'll find a ton of great authors, fiction and non fiction. All the used books are priced incredibly fairly. All around 3-9 dollars depending on the wear and tear and also how new the book is. I snagged myself about 10 books for around $50! Unheard of. All in great condition too. I'll definitely be back, hopefully all year round if they're open!

    LBI Book Swap is a true gem in this little Beach Haven mall. We tried most of the shops and this was my favorite. The concept is in the title with a twist- If you bring in a book it is a certain percentage off buying a different book. There are used and new books in the shop. We bought a little bit of both. It was easy to go overboard. We stop here every time we visit Beach Haven.

    Love, Love, Love This Little Gem of a Bookstore! If you're…read moreanywhere near Manasquan, do yourself a favor and pop into this lovely little bookstore. I found books I absolutely love--some I discovered on my own and others that were personally recommended by the store's fabulous curator, and owner Peter. When I mentioned a book I had recently read and loved--Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin--Peter immediately jumped up, went straight to the bottom shelf, and pointed it out. There was even a handwritten staff recommendation and summary attached to the book. Many of the books throughout the store have these thoughtful mini-reviews, which made browsing feel so personal and engaging. I love the overall vibe of this shop. The selection of gifts is just right: a charming mix of journals, candles, book-themed merchandise, and a few toys--including stuffed animals. I fell in love with a stuffed bear and now I'll have to go back because I didn't purchase him (regret!). If you have the time, I highly recommend setting some aside to slowly explore the shelves, stacks, and cozy nooks of this beautifully curated bookstore. It's an absolute delight

    Booktowne is such a gem. It's not only a gorgeous shop filled with amazing books, but also a…read moretreasure trove of unique gifts that make it the perfect place to shop for readers and nonreaders alike. What really sets them apart, though, is their kindness. My son, who has special needs, needed help with a project, and the staff at Booktowne volunteered their time to work with him. They were so kind and patient--we'll never forget it. This is the kind of business our community needs. So stop clicking "Buy Now" on Amazon and head to Booktowne Manasquan instead. You'll walk out with something great and know your money is supporting a generous, caring local business.
