25 Palmer Sq E, Princeton“I went in to purchase some gifts for my 4-year-old granddaughter. The woman who helped me was very knowledgeable and resourceful. I had been told this was the place to go. She listened to my my thoughts, issues and concerns and we agreed on a couple of presents. Additionally, she helped ensure that the presence got there on time. I highly recommend this store!”

122 Nassau St, Princeton“Amazing selection of books and clearly organized. Their books on sale are also easy to look through. Their downstairs area has a few chairs and more antique books. If you’re ever looking for some cute stationary and labyrinth merch, they got them!”

49 S Main St, Yardley“Terrific addition to Yardley's Main St. A true labor of love. Welcoming in every respect, from the front porch to the various arrays of books to the helpful staff. If you love experiencing books in an environment that loves them as much as you do, Commonplace is the place.”
“I was hosted at the Barnes and Noble in Princeton, New Jersey for a book signing. The event went very well, but I left behind a carry-all. B&N contacted me and returned it via the post at no charge. I call that exceptional customer service.”
“Books, books, and more books. A wonderful and welcoming atmosphere. I love how they give back to the community in many ways including giving smaller, perhaps unknown, groups the opportunity to use their space to socialize, engage in reciprocity of thought, and have fun. Kudos to Classics Books and Gifts!”
“We love this store. It’s located at the perfect location for us. The store is always well stocked and has all the stuff we would want.
Great collection of books for kids.”
“I ordered the book "Captured Rebel Flag" online-- this was the only place I could find it! The seller got back to me right away saying he had to order more from the publisher in the UK (I think this book has been out of print for 10+ years) and it came! The website is a little outdated but functional and the seller was amazing. Thank you so much! Now that you've got the book back in print a lot of Revolutionary War history buffs will appreciate it.”
“Really great booksellers with tons of hidden treasures. Make sure you watch the video on their website so you don’t miss out! They’ve got books and movies galore. Check out their site too. Staffed by amazingly nice people. I’ll be back for sure!”
“I have my reasons to give it the 5 stars. Maybe going in hopefully you'll find your reasons to rate it as you would. Staff and product variety amongst the top reasons for the rating.”
“I am writing this review as both a person who has bought many books here and has also sold one as well. My experience top to bottom was more than excellent! The prices are generously fair, the quality is clear, the variety is outstanding, and the service is unmatched! When I inquired about selling, the communication was prompt, professional, and honest!”
“Wonderful gem of a bookstore! Mostly children's literature, but my teen (15yo) found 5 books (that kid is a bookworm, though). The owner is lovely, helpful, and did a great job offering suggestions to my oldest. Comfy atmosphere with little Easter egg critters all hidden around the store. Cannot wait to go back!”
“A huge selection of paper calendars and mainstream toys/games that do not require mastery of Mandarin by the age of 3. I applaud the contrarian instincts of any Princeton outpost that specializes in Hot Wheels, toy guns and action figures. Not the playthings of elite academia but certainly provoking a worthy smirk just by being there. Given their inventory, how they pay the rent in this progressive playpen is anyone's guess but needless to say, I'm beyond curious. For that bedeviled tyke who's in desperate need of a plastic AK-47 for show and tell in the gifted language program. Five easy stars.”

2083 Lawrenceville Rd, Lawrenceville“Pretty good place to get books and other things like shirts, Sweatshirts and other clothing items. Depending on the day you will have a better time. Sometimes staff is a little assertive and disrespectful but that's with every company. Overall. Good.”
“Amazing service! Also I was able to find a game I’ve been having trouble looking for. I can’t remember the name but the cashier with the long hair was so kind and helpful too.”
“Extremely friendly owners. Very reasonable prices. Convenient location. Love the way their store is setup. Makes the shopping experience that much better. I highly recommend Allthings4u!”
“Ah, Barnes & Noble - the land of infinite books and the occasional overpriced coffee. It's the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon, browsing through the shelves and pretending to be intellectual. Walking through the doors, I was greeted by the overwhelming smell of paper and ink. It's like a bookstore air freshener on steroids. But hey, I'm not complaining. I love the smell of a good book as much as the next person. As I perused the stacks, I couldn't help but feel like a kid in a candy store. So many books, so little time (and money). And let's not forget about the fancy bookmarks and journals that I don't need but must have. It's a dangerous game, my friends. But then there's the cafe. Ah, the cafe. The place where you can spend $5 on a cup of coffee and feel like a sophisticated member of society. It's the perfect spot to people-watch and eavesdrop on conversations that are far more interesting than your own. Overall, Barnes & Noble is a great place to get lost in the world of literature and spend way too much money on things you don't need. And who knows, you might even learn something along the way (but let's not get too crazy).”
