On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.

A fantastic place that I have enjoyed coming to for many years! Andrew was always so helpful to me!…read moreand to my family and friends. We love the peaceful atmosphere and the collection is amazing. He carried bags of books to my car for me on several occasions and I would never expect that! I am happy for him he has branched out but I truly enjoyed his helpful attitude and respectful ways.

Awful, awful, AWFUL place for one reason only...ANDREW. Friends of Bryant Library would normally be…read morea great place to browse through children's books. However, the volunteer there named Andrew brings the place down to the dumps. He is unhelpful and lazy, and when you ask him any questions (even something as simple as where you can find X book...), he responds as if he's completely bothered by the fact that you dared ask him in the first place. He comes with bucketloads of attitude and eye-rolls. I hope the library replaces him with a volunteer who can interact with people on a normal level because Andrew just drives people away. I will very willingly go somewhere else to look for discounted books than have to deal with the diva. ANDREW - newsflash...you can't just sit around and do nothing during the time you volunteer, so if you don't want to volunteer there, then don't!

I love this store! There are so many fun, cool and smart games and toys to buy. The store is a…read moretouch on the small side with alot of product crammed on shelves.

My six year old niece asked for fun books to read so I went right to the children's section. A sales associate offered help and guided me to some books I thought she'd enjoy. And of course I had to pick up the discounted Christmas cards for book lovers for next year. During the pandemic, my recipients seem to have enjoyed getting a card in the mail, like old times. As a fan of actual books- I still don't have an e-reader, I recommend Barnes and Noble. They have ebooks also. Toys and games, planners, and calendars here too.
