675 US-1, Iselin“EXCELLENT service and great variety of things to choose from. They also engrave Bibles, and I have been there about a dozen times to do so times. Come out great each time.”
“I called about a movie for my father and they checked and saved it for me at the register. Well executed and employees were polite and professional. I recommend.
Menlo Park Mall...”
“Love this book store!! I take my kids there. It's amazing to see them in awe at all the kids books with characters the look like them! The owners are incredibly nice and helpful.”
“Great used book store in Madison! I love collecting vintage books and they had a wide variety across different price points. I was able to buy four beautiful books from the 1800s for $45. Will definitely visit again!”

281 Essex St, Millburn“Thank you for hosting my brother in law's book signing, we had a wonderful afternoon in your fabulous bookstore! So many great things to buy, for myself and for gifts. The coffee was definitely the best I've had out in a long time. The owners are great!! Hope to be back soon for another visit!”
10:30AM - 5:30PM
1043 Stuyvesant Ave., Union“The owner is as knowledgeable, kind, and extremely helpful. It’s the kind of store where you can get a personal attention by someone knowledgeable about books. This local store has a personal touch, if they don’t have it, they will order it. I’ve run into the owner delivering books to elderly customers that are home bound. When is the last time you’ve EVER seen that? They have earned my business for life. Sorry big box stores.”
“This store is full of peace and God’s presence, I went in for a study bible and ended up purchasing a bible for everyone in my home. Marianna is so pleasant And welcoming. She is like an angel, do not hesitate you will be very happy you went to her.”
“Stocks a really nice selection of comic books. Besides the mainstream titles, a lot of indie stuff. Features a great selection of graphic novels and an added bonus; because it's attached to the Kubert comic book artist school, You can get a all your comic art supplies in one store!..”

270 E Broad St, Westfield“I love this independent bookstore. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they have a high quality selection of books. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll happily order it. Lovely place.”
“The Beginning. The first Indigo location opened in Burlington Ontario in 1997, created with the desire to bring a unique cultural destination to the Canadian retail marketplace. Indigo Books & Music Inc. ("Indigo"), as it exists today, was created in August 2001 upon the merger with Chapters Inc.You can enjoy flipping through the books and relax before checking out your items. They also have a section for kids, and sell bath-wear stuff, kitchenware, stationeries, etc.It's become my favorite coffee table bookstore in New Jersey. The displays are lovely and the children's section is a wonderland.”
“What a "Gem" of a bookstore. I was looking for a family owned and operated bookstore and what I found was a Treasure, right here in New Brunswick, NJ.Kaila was the most helpful and wonderful owner. She found exactly what I wanted (50 copies of a certain book) and she got them for me in a quick order. Then when I received them, each book had a personal "Enjoy this book" card and a bow. Fantastic! Some of my people when I gave them the book were so surprised and so pleased it made the book even more special. Kaila added that very personal touch that can't be found in the big, national bookstores.”

Kellogg Building, 40 West Jersey Street, Elizabeth“Lovely little bookstore with diverse selection. I'm sure some people would appreciate if they could make the aisles more accessible to people dependent on wheels”
10AM - 2PM
Commons Building, 36 Madison Ave, Madison“Disclaimer: not a student but I attended a conference for my high school students on the campus. Clean and beautiful campus and very nice architectural surroundings. However, I can't rationalize the price tag of this school and would suggest looking at state schools to stretch those academic dollars.”
“Happy to see them in a new location. Every town needs a bookstore. They do a nice job here. Nice environment. Comfy store. Bigger than it looks from the outside as well.”
“Great place to study, located right on college ave. Only thing is that sometimes people come in and play really loud videos on their phones and sleep, which can be distracting and disturb anyone who goes there to study.. also, there’s sometimes customer service representatives who talk very loud and laugh, giggle and chatter during their shifts, that’s fine but if I can hear people laughing and I’m all the way at the end of the upstairs room, that’s being a bit excessive on the noise level, ladies! they have a cafe downstairs with coffees and drinks and snacks and sandwiches.
The bathrooms, at least the women’s bathrooms, are semi-clean. They don’t clean them often, from what I can tell; it seems like every time I go in there there’s toilet paper in the room, unflushed toilets and once I saw some menstrual blood on one of the seats.
They offer free WiFi, the speed is suitable for normal computer usage.
They have a huge selection of Rutgers apparel, but it’s very expensive.. $70 for a pair of red leggings with the Rutgers logo, way too expensive for some people. However, the quality is very nice, everything is Champion or just a very thick, nice fabric.
Overall, it’s a great place to hang around and study, just be mindful of people who use this space to study and courteous to everyone who uses this space.”
10AM - 2PM
120 Summit St, Newark“Certain workers are kinda rude, but most were pretty nice. Edit It's nice to see a reply. I've added a star. The sitaution was that it was my first time in the bookstore and I walked up to the register to ask where the line started. Before I even got my first scentence out I way yelled at for cutting the line, which was Ironic. The worker said this loud enough to try to shame me I guess? As a suggestion, it would be nice if the line was down the center of the store, which seems to be the more intuitive setup. Better yet, it could be parrallel to the front. Regaurdless, thankyou.”
“Prices are high on basic goods as expected and the variety of brands per object is limited. Again, being a campus book store, this is expected. Oddly, they don't have basic necessities like milk, laundry detergent, or bleach (3rd is understandable).”
“I love the store!! They are fully stocked with everything you need. I was very impressed by the stock and organization. The employee that rang up my purchases was kind, efficient, and professional.”
“Overall the library manager and the assistant manager are great workers, very respectable, knowledgeable and hard-working. But the student body needs to be more sympathetic when it comes to technical system glitches/errors and not lose their patience with the bookstore workers for these inconveniences. Treat these great workers with respect and politeness and they will be able to provide you with great customer service.”
10AM - 5:30PM
465 Main St, Metuchen“This bookstore is a hidden gem tucked away in downtown Metuchen. Sure, the place could use a bit of an update and clean, but that's the charm of a used bookstore. The vast range of all genres of books is incredible, you can tell the owner has been collecting for years. Speaking of the owner, he is extremely knowledgeable, very welcoming, and always helpful. He engages in conversation if asked a question, and has been nothing but warm and hospitable. Excited to come back and explore more!”
9AM - 5PM
Green Lane Bldg, 1040 Morris Ave, Union“I had an easy time here. As soon as I walked in a team member guided me in the right direction. The book info desk was decent I asked for all the books on my course list and for some reason they kept asking if I would buy everything even after I already said I would. But no big deal. The supply section also had everything I needed to start my semester. The cashier was also great and helpful. Last but not least the 50 percent off holiday books in the new year was great too!”
“I love this place. Anytime I am in the area, I always make sure I stop in and give them my support. The people who work there are always helpful and be try knowledgeable”
