“Cute little bookshop, backed by a super knowledgeable and sweet shop owner who also runs the store. Fantastic book selection; children’s books, romance, biographies, fiction; classics, new releases; popular picks and obscure titles; cookbooks and self-help books. Right in the neighborhood, making travel light and easy. Located next to a cafe, so you can enjoy your books while having a drink. Near the park, do changing the scenery while you read is an added bonus!”
“EXCELLENT service and great variety of things to choose from. They also engrave Bibles, and I have been there about a dozen times to do so times. Come out great each time.”
“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”
“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”
“So clean! Went with my daughter because she wanted a book by a particular author. Staff immediately knew who she was talking about and where to find the book exactly. In and out and picked up a bookmark. Great staff and in this digital age having a store like this with staff like that is very much appreciated.”
“A little gem in the neighborhood. You can get good deals on some out of print books. Large assortment. Small section on free items. Coffee, teas and snacks and you can sit down to munch.”

“The owner is as knowledgeable, kind, and extremely helpful. It’s the kind of store where you can get a personal attention by someone knowledgeable about books. This local store has a personal touch, if they don’t have it, they will order it. I’ve run into the owner delivering books to elderly customers that are home bound. When is the last time you’ve EVER seen that? They have earned my business for life. Sorry big box stores.”
“As you enter you feel the vibes of books. That is the first thing I loved about this library, was the romantic section since I love reading romance! The staff members were so nice and friendly. They helped me out with a specific book I was looking for. Then, the Spanish books were nice and had a good variety of genres. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because it doesn’t have a restroom for customers.”

“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!”
“This is such a special place. I have a growing collection of figures, many of my favorites have come from Hypnotronic over the past few years!! I most recently bought a Macready action figure from the movie The Thing that I was so happy to find (it's my favorite movie!) If you're a comic and/or horror fan, this is THE place to go on Staten Island.”
“Lovely little bookstore with diverse selection. I'm sure some people would appreciate if they could make the aisles more accessible to people dependent on wheels”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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...”
“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 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.”
