25 Palmer Sq E, Princeton“Awesome local toy store. Great place to get nice, durable toys. Like instead of a 300 piece Dr set, go here and get a real stethoscope for kids ($15). Quality kids dress up clothes and costume jewelry. All kinds of great stuff for kids of all ages.”

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.”

4 W Lafayette St, Trenton“Atmosphere is welcomingPoetry readings once per month are meaningful and passionateBook selections for kids and adults are extensiveThe proprietor cares about the community and is humble”
“This is always one of the best book sales in NJ. The sale offers a huge selection, fair prices and a wonderfully helpful staff of volunteers. You can also donate your unwanted books during the year, Wednesdays & Saturdays, 10 am - 12 pm. at the Vanderventer Ave. location. The sale is actually held at Princeton Day School during the spring/winter break. Don't miss it!”
10AM - 6PM
122 Nassau St, Princeton“Sale books out front were the draw. As soon as I stepped in, I knew I made the right choice to come in. The smell of the pages and Tina Brooks playing in the background was like magic. Book stores are hard to come by. This vibe is something e-readers can't give you. New politics. Comedy. Cookbooks. Biographies. A children's section. Just perfect! I glad I came in from the cold.”
“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 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 The website is a little outdated but functional and the seller was amazing.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.”
“(Translated by Google) A place to find what is necessary to satisfy the needs of spiritual knowledge as well as a fine attention from its owner.(Original)Un lugar para encontrar lo necesario para satisfacer las necesidades de conocimiento espiritual además de una fina atención de parte de su propietaria.”
“Great little book shop, so many books that it would take hours to look through everything. Things are organized by categories. Boyfriend found a rare book about the Eagles. They offer military discount and discount if you pay cash. Seems like things could be negotiable”
“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.”

3535 US-1 #400, Princeton“It's just a Barnes and noble, probably a bit larger than others ive been to. Was kind of busy because it's attached to a mall, so it doesnt have that bookstore/library feel. Had lots of childrens toys and games and things of that nature, including this fellar”
“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.”
“Books are still sort of a thing. Buy one here if the info you're looking for cant be found online for free. Still pushing those book club / points discount plans I see.”
“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).”
