Agreeing with the other 1-star reviews.To the owner -- stop harassing me via responses and emails.I once again ask you kindly.You are not a nice person. My 1 star review is legit - they do not treat their customers right.Go bother someone else.Again, I have no interest in coming back to your store.

Montclair is a very diverse and eccentric town. One of the places that adds to the charm is the Montclair Book Center. Since the new ownership took place (a little over a year ago), a majority of improvements have been made to enhance the bookreader and customer experience. The MBC transcends the imagination of an antique bookstore. Readers of all genres and ages are welcome. The collection of new books follows current trends, and the vinyl collection is something to be seen! The staff is more than knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Nice bookstore. I have been going there since 1986, and they have always had a wide variety of titles and subjects. Highly recommended for the bibliophile.

Most book stores are just mini Barnes and Nobles. This is not one of them. One of the best!

Place truly sucks. No bathrooms, wifi, chairs? Girl with the glasses is really nice you can tell she loves books. Everyone else is extremely rude. Honestly, why display music downstairs if I can’t even sit to listen to it? Am I supposed to have a special pass or something, VIP card? truly I don’t know. Just take pictures and buy from Amazon, and I’m all for supporting local businesses. That deserve to stay in business, remember guys, you serve the public. So let’s get off our high horse. Time to straighten up, or retire that old dump already, let’s make space for something family (bathroom) friendly.

Cute book and record shop in Montclair. Great place to spend a couple of hours, just browsing the copious amounts of records and books. It gives the perfect independent bookstore vibe - wooden shelves lined with thousands of books ranging across every topic imaginable. The staff were also friendly and helpful. I wish some of the records were organized a bit better, though. And I do agree with other reviewers that the store feels outdated, but I don't think that's always a bad thing. It's the kind of store where you browse comfortably for a little while, not find exactly something you're looking for.

Maybe being outdated is part of the charm. But they rarely have in stock what I'm exactly looking for. It's more of a on a whim shopping option.With that said, they'll buy a bunch of books from you and offer measly store credit at a fraction of what they're worth. Eh. If anything I say check out the vinyls downstairs.

A fun place to look around if you like used bookstores!
