“What can I say. I love independent bookstores and Jabberwocky most of all and not just because it is in my neighborhood. The friendly staff, the bookish atmosphere and so much else....and also Jabberwocky saves me from any temptation of using those fingers of the evil empire -- Barnes and Noble and Amazon because I can order anything (well, almost) I am looking for and get it quickly. I am grateful and delighted.”
“I love books! This place has a great selection of books, all sorts of varieties from vegan cooking books to graphic novels! I love this place, nice staff, and great service! Super cute place!”
“A few years ago I found this shop after stumbling acriss their listing for a beautiful and unusual edition of Lewis Carroll's works. They were exceptionally helpful, responsive, and friendly. When I came by to pick up the book I was very impressed by their absolutely beautiful collection, in particular the selection of fairytales. I would highly recommend Buddenbrooks as a professional, communicative, and experienced resource for those seeking several varieties of antiquarian books.”

“10/10 service and quality products! A small shop with a great variety and convenient selection from essentials to gifts. It has many entertaining books and interesting stationery designs.
The staff are super friendly and always happy to help.
There’s also a section for Phillips Exeter Academy apparel, accessories, gifts, and textbooks for students.”
“I just love this place and won’t take my framing jobs anywhere else. The owner is so knowledgeable, not just about framing, but about preservation, mediums, (inks, paints, printing methods, etc) but also about random things (I had a circus poster from the 1940s framed and he knew so much about circus history!) that it makes him a pleasure to talk to. I haven’t stumped him yet with my many questions. He obviously is an avid reader with a great love of books, as they also sell lovely old books and prints. Experienced framers that you can trust with valuable items seem few and far between in these days of DIY and big chain stores, but I’ve had Michael’s ruin a precious (though not valuable) painting by my nephew. If you value your items, have them framed here.”

“I found the Newburyport Christian Science Reading Room and church many years ago. At that time I was on a spiritual search, looking for a deeper understanding of God. I had been visiting many churches and trying many spiritual paths for several years. The very first day I went to the Newburyport church I felt pure love and joy bursting forth! I felt a loving embrace and a sense of being at home. Christian Science teaches that "God is Love" and that everyone is a child of Love. It teaches one to be a spiritual thinker and to strive to practice Jesus' teachings. I later married and raised three children in the Sunday School until our family moved to the West coast when the children were still young. I will always have sweet memories of my time at the Newburyport Church.”
“New Englands BEST bookshop for Aviation history, Naval, Military, art, etc, etc. When you visit the shop, plan on spending most of the day there, and make sure you have plenty of room in the car to haul home your prize finds.”
“Cool store went in with my wife against my will about a month ago to get a beach bag for her friends birthday. I didn’t realize how many different things the paper store has to offer! They have sports wear and all kinds of great gift ideas for everyone! I recently went back to get one of those beach bags for my wife for a Valentine’s Day gift because she loved them so much and said I should get one of these bags at some point one of these days. Well I listened this time! 😎”
“Always a great experience. Staff is super friendly and helpful! Also they usually have small goofy bags for the kiddos to keep that encourage reading or creative thinking.”
