“Although I m trying to wean myself away from buying books, since I recently acquired a library card, when I do buy one, it is always through Transom. I am a strong believer in supporting local businesses and this particular business is owned and staffed by thoughtful, helpful, knowledgable people. I love that I have an electronic connection with them; I always pay when I order and just wait for their email message.Go Transom!!”
“Bruised Apple is the best, has been for a long time; it’s simply unbeatable. They have everything from records to baubles to philosophical treatises to geographical landmarks - anything you can think of, they probably have, had, or could recommend something on the shelves. Quiet, respectful, reverent preservation of an indie bookstore.”

“While I've never been there, I've only interacted with the store via their website and email, I have to say it is one of the best bookstores I've encountered. They are so friendly and helpful and were able to ship my daughter a book signed and personalized by the author. Thanks for a great experience.”
“Found this place by chance. The girl at the counter was wonderful! We got there maybe an hour before closing time and within minutes I had a sky high pile of books! Spent way too much but it was a birthday dream come true! Thinking about going back today! It's a gigantic place, you could get lost in! Great for book lovers always!”

29 King St, Chappaqua“This is such a great bookstore. Laura, the owner, really cares and if they don’t have it in she’ll get it for you asap. And there are two cute bunnies so that’s just a bonus! Also, they also make their own themed slime!!”

95 Main St, Nyack“The main reason I drive from Jersey to Nyack is to visit one of my very favorite record stores in the country - Main Street Beat. It’s cute as heck. It feels good in there and Jennifer, Amy and Ryan are just the best. I always have a great time in there, the selection is an adventure - you never know what you’re going to find and best of all, I always walk out happier than when I walked in, with gems in my bag. Records, cds, lapel pins, books. I get it all! ?☺️?”

9c Eisenhower Ave, New Square“Great selection of religious books on the beautiful Holy Mountain. Everyone is very kind and helpful. The manager was especially kind and really helped me find what I was looking for :)”
“Excellent customer service.The staff are very courteous and thoughtful.
If an item is not available, they give you all of the available options so you can make an informed decision”
“Lots of good condition used books by major contemporary authors, both hardback and soft, for ridiculously low prices. It's a steal! If you like to read, why aren't you here??”
“Before i start this review, been here before prepandemic before i started writing reviews.
Went here on Wednesday April 10th 2024 to check out their entertainment section for any good Cds. Was surprised when i saw that there was a decline of inventory, and not much items there. This is located on the 4th level, and as others said is only 1 level, but it seems like it makes use of its space. I wasn't there to look for books though, but perhaps another time. Looked for a bit in the entertainment section but didn't find anything of interest for a gift. oh well. Hope to be back soon, maybe to check out a book next time!”

8 S Broadway, Nyack“If you love that very particular quaint, used book store kind of chaos/charm, this is the place for you. You know you’re in the right place when you can’t see the proprietor for the giant stack of books, and then he sort of pops up and says hello. Take someone here on your first date and gauge their reaction to it, so you’ll know if they’re right for you. Is it a safety hazard? Maybe. I personally adore a little danger when I’m looking for very specific out-of-print children’s literature. Live a little! I can’t wait to visit again, and I’m not just saying that because the owner acknowledged my cute baby.”
“What a wonderful little bookstore / addition to the black cow coffee shop. One stop shopping, if you will. This shop has a really nice selection of books from the most popular, to children's books and beyond. I was not here to necessarily shop for books (this day) but will keep them in mind when I'm in the area again. Great addition to this small town!”
