“We love to visit Asbury Park, and it just wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Paranormal Tower! The shop itself is always filled with interesting books and accoutrements, staff is friendly and informative, and their events are first rate! This visit, we decided to take the museum tour. We've never done it before, so we were quite excited. Our tour guide Sarah was amazing! She was an absolute fount of information, and she had so many fun anecdotes to share, as well! The tour was well-paced- we never lingered too long, but we were also never rushed. There's quite a lot to see there, as well! My son's favorite part was an authentic plague mask. I really enjoyed the Ed Warren painting, the Annabelle painting, and the doll collection. There's definitely something for everyone from those interested in the paranormal, to those interested in history itself.”
“Just a gem of a book store in the heart of Pt Pleasant...Kelly and her staff are warm friendly and helpful...grab a cup of coffee or tea now available from Shore Pour...perfect together relax ...enjoy ...you'll be back”
“Amazing experience at Thunder Road books on Small Business Saturday. It's so refreshing to visit a legitimate mom & pop bookstore. The service was incredibly personal and the whole staff's passion for books was so clearly evident. The store itself is very intimate and beautifully designed. They have a great staff recommendation list which was excellent to use for Christmas gifts and they were super helpful when I inquired about a hard to find book I was interested in. The owner himself got involved with the search! They could not have been any more polite and hospitable. The small size and personal touches are what makes this local business one I will visit again and recommend to others. Bonus points for all the great Danny Clinch photos on the walls!!!”
“I was so happy that everything that I got a good book on Mediterranean diet and diabetes. I also realized that the cafe is part of the Bookstore, it doesn't belong to Starbucks. The hot chocolate and the hazelnut chocolate banana cake was perfect.The staff were so friendly and polite when they helped me to calculate my purchases with my gift cards. Great sales too for so many options for children and hobbies/pastimes.”
“It’s a beautiful space that has a wonderful selection of products, but the best part is the sincerity and kindness of those who work there! Definitely worth a detour, even if for the aura photography alone.Namaste ”
“Was nice. Went for a graduation. Only issue. Whomever is the person that videos for the tv above should concentrate when giving diplomas on each student and not zoom out so parent ot friend cant see. All the students are the ones that worked hard and deserve to be seen”

“The BEST bookshop in the state. Even if you don’t like to read, you will find something in there. Cute decor, amazing choices (I’ve bought 30 books and haven’t read one that I didn’t enjoy), and kind staff.”
“I have been going to Ocean Grove for vacation for several years now. I make it a point to visit the Comfort Zone on every trip. I love there selection of children's books and toys. I recently asked about a book I was looking for about the shark attacks on the Jersey Shore back in 1916. The owner of the store knew exactly what I was looking for but it was out of stock. He got on the phone and ordered for me. When it came in he called and sent to me. There items and products for every thing imaginable. I will be stopping by next year for sure. Marty H.

“Local bookstores should be in every village, town, and city ... I am not disparaging the big box variety of bookstore, but humanity deserves a place to discover amazing written pages in a comfortable setting in a locale close to home. The Cooperative exceeds expectations and judging by the flow of book searching humans on a Saturday afternoon others have discovered this warm, comfy opportunity for discovery too! In fact, my grandson is currently lost amidst the Children's section where moments ago he read a Christmas book to me using his 4-year-old imagination. I have been wanting to read something of Michener and discovered two near new versions of novels for $1 each. Such a wonderful island amidst Asbury Park's exciting restaurant and business scene. Stop in ... grab a book and disappear into your imagination!”
