“This is a charming children’s book shop in the lovely town of Hopewell. Owner Bobbie stocks many unique books and will help you find the perfect one for your little one based on age and interests. You won’t find this kind of service at chain stores and Bobbie will gift wrap your selection at no charge. I highly recommend it.”

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!”

“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.”

The organizers had meticulously planned every detail, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for all participants. The well-organized schedule allowed attendees to navigate effortlessly between diverse sessions, each offering unique insights into various environmental topics.One of the highlights of the Congress was my opportunity to speak about a topic close to my heart: land injustices faced by Native American communities in New Jersey. The audience was incredibly receptive, engaging in thoughtful discussions that underscored the importance of recognizing and addressing these injustices. The Congress provided a valuable platform for amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, fostering dialogue, and promoting meaningful action.The Congress also showcased the remarkable work being done by individuals and organizations across the state to protect our environment. From innovative conservation initiatives to community-driven environmental stewardship projects, the event highlighted the power of collective action in preserving New Jersey's natural beauty and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.In addition to the stimulating discussions and inspiring presentations, the Congress offered ample opportunities for networking and collaboration.

The event's emphasis on inclusivity, community engagement, and action-oriented solutions inspired me to continue advocating for environmental stewardship and social justice.I commend ANJEC for organizing such a meaningful and impactful event. The 50th Environmental Congress is a testament to the organization's unwavering commitment to protecting our environment and fostering a sustainable future for New Jersey.”
“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.”
“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).”

349 Nassau St, Princeton“Total home run. The business hours are brief, but if you get a chance to stop by when they are open, this is a gem of a mystery book store. Neat as a pin, and nicely laid out, you could spend an hour pouring through their selection. As the saying goes, I bet you couldn’t buy just one!No way you can go wrong.”

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.”
“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.”
