Personally, I think this is the best bookstore in New Jersey. The selection is really smart, and the prices are always below what they would be online. This is really a book lover’s store. The place is covered with books stacked everywhere. This makes it an adventure to look through. But when you know books, you’ll always be surprised at things here you haven’t ever seen before. It is true the books have a faint scent of smoke, but it dissipates in a week or so. I’m pretty sensitive to cigarette smoke, so when I say that, it’s really true. There’s a great selection of Judaica, history, art, cookbooks, fiction, and military books. I’m all for the beautiful community bookstore with hardwood floors and exposed brick and all that, but I never leave those stores with a humongous bag of books, and I pretty much always do from the store. I enjoy talking to the owner, who has definite opinions and really ought to have his own New Yorker profile. If you’re a book lover, you need to try this store.
