“I love the store!! They are fully stocked with everything you need. I was very impressed by the stock and organization. The employee that rang up my purchases was kind, efficient, and professional.”
“Love this Store and the Staff is helpful and friendly. Bibles to Communion elements and most things in-between. You'll find what you need. Large Bible selections. Visit often”
“They are open and alot of customers are still coming in even though the mall is closing. Clean, spacious and organized branch. Clean and smelling good restroom. They have a cafe with pastries. A spacious children’s area. Child friendly restroom. See images for further reference.”
“The staff here are always kind and courteous, but allow you to browse in peace which I appreciate. I can easily spend hours here every time I come. I love how their stock is always updating with “new” old books to look at every visit. I especially love their selection of the 25 cent Dell Agatha Christie selection and have been able to build my own person collection from purchasing them here. Their books are always very well priced and there are so many gems on their shelves. Now that I’ve graduated from Drew, I don’t get to go as often as I’d like, but they were wonderfully in walking distance of the university”
“Love this book store!! I take my kids there. It's amazing to see them in awe at all the kids books with characters the look like them! The owners are incredibly nice and helpful.”
“Great store!! But if you’re here to work on your computer, there are no outlets. I suggest going to the Edison public library right down the block instead, otherwise great store”
“Absolutely my favorite store. Really nicely designed. Super clean everyone is friendly. The worst thing is there is no mobile service in there. Which is not actually a problem imo.”
“The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect place to slow down and explore. The selection is thoughtfully curated — whether you’re looking for bestsellers, hidden gems, or beautiful children’s books, there’s something for everyone.”
“I love this place. Anytime I am in the area, I always make sure I stop in and give them my support. The people who work there are always helpful and be try knowledgeable”

“This store is full of peace and God’s presence, I went in for a study bible and ended up purchasing a bible for everyone in my home. Marianna is so pleasant And welcoming. She is like an angel, do not hesitate you will be very happy you went to her.”

“It’s a nice little bookstore. Half the store seems dedicated to kids and kids books, so lots of good gifting opportunities if there are little ones in your life.
Good selection of new releases for adults.”
“i love it here, its very welcoming and clean. it looks like theres a strong community because whenever i walk in, theres always some kind of event which is nice to see in a bookstore. wide selection of books, music, and games! fun to look around and enjoy the place. the employees are nice and always willing to chat for a few :)”
“I like this student store they hold items for my wife when she orders. They should have a bigger selection of student sports wear, like jackets, hoodies, sizes 2XL to 3XL.
but they need to get better materials like 100% cotton sweats joggers & shirts more often. They're have snacks and a small variety of headphones, but they are a little more pricier students should have better deals. If you get a headache or cramps, they have Tylenol or advil for students. The little Bodega of Essex County is what I call it lol. They should have more cold drinks. I give it a 7 out of 10.”

“Thank you for hosting my brother in law's book signing, we had a wonderful afternoon in your fabulous bookstore! So many great things to buy, for myself and for gifts. The coffee was definitely the best I've had out in a long time. The owners are great!! Hope to be back soon for another visit!”
“Stocks a really nice selection of comic books. Besides the mainstream titles, a lot of indie stuff. Features a great selection of graphic novels and an added bonus; because it's attached to the Kubert comic book artist school, You can get a all your comic art supplies in one store!..”
“I absolutely LOVE this place. As an avid booktoker with a large following, this local bookstore can feed me with great books for myself and my platform! Let’s build the book community together! #WeAreBooktok”
“Amazing quality apparel at a nice discounted price! Very friendly customer service too. Drew University is great! So appreciative for it. Learned a ton, made a lot of good friends, and took away many great memories. Like a home away from home.”
“Unique source for old law books, reprints of classic legal treatises, and a variety of other law-related publications. Great materials. Greg (the founder) and the staff are knowledgeable, professional, and helpful.”
“Prices are high on basic goods as expected and the variety of brands per object is limited. Again, being a campus book store, this is expected. Oddly, they don't have basic necessities like milk, laundry detergent, or bleach (3rd is understandable).”

“Certain workers are kinda rude, but most were pretty nice. Edit It's nice to see a reply. I've added a star. The sitaution was that it was my first time in the bookstore and I walked up to the register to ask where the line started. Before I even got my first scentence out I way yelled at for cutting the line, which was Ironic. The worker said this loud enough to try to shame me I guess? As a suggestion, it would be nice if the line was down the center of the store, which seems to be the more intuitive setup. Better yet, it could be parrallel to the front. Regaurdless, thankyou.”
“The manager at FDU, Madison, Gabe is the nicest gentleman! He was so kind and understanding and resolved our situation. I just love FDU and my daughter can't wait to attend as a first year student in the Fall. With gratitude, Suzy Marotta -parent”
“I had one of the best experiences thanks to a male worker I think by the name Erick? He helped me find what I needed and supplied me with the correct books I’d need to make this semester a breeze. Thanks for being genuine and a real life saver when it meant the most!”
“i'm in the C terminal waiting for my flight. the book store is, pardon the cliche, the eye of calm in the storm. The books are a stunning collection - awesomely creepy kids books to enthrall the pre-teen crowd, graphic novels, books about POC, books by POC, international authors, and something for every reader. Books in spanish -- from fiction to true crime-- gorgeous travelogues. Strong POC focused collection. An inspirational reading section Grandmother B would love -- Granmere V would go for the crosswords. My tastes are eclectic and well matched by this lively oasis, but even my dad (conservative and non-fiction reader) would appreciate the multiple standing shelves of biography, history, and business. If they had coffee, I'd spend my entire layover here. Oh, wait, let me hit the espresso stand around the corner and come back...”

“This bookstore is a hidden gem tucked away in downtown Metuchen. Sure, the place could use a bit of an update and clean, but that's the charm of a used bookstore. The vast range of all genres of books is incredible, you can tell the owner has been collecting for years. Speaking of the owner, he is extremely knowledgeable, very welcoming, and always helpful. He engages in conversation if asked a question, and has been nothing but warm and hospitable. Excited to come back and explore more!”
“I had an easy time here. As soon as I walked in a team member guided me in the right direction. The book info desk was decent I asked for all the books on my course list and for some reason they kept asking if I would buy everything even after I already said I would. But no big deal. The supply section also had everything I needed to start my semester. The cashier was also great and helpful. Last but not least the 50 percent off holiday books in the new year was great too!”
“This place is amazing! So cozy and the owner, Lauren is friendly and was lovely to chat with for a moment :) Have their own little children’s nook and a great selection of new finds. I love ‘bookstore hopping’ whenever I go somewhere new and this is one I’ll be going back to! Just a great environment and it’s clear they care about the community and have wonderful ethics. <3”
