“A gem of a bookstore in Bayonne. The owner is super knowledgeable and is great to talk to about reading any type of book which helps calibrate and find the books you didn’t know you were looking for!The selection of books reflects her wide ranging curiosity and interests and I’ve found 2 or more books that pique my interest every time. What a treat.”

“It is such a beautiful collection of books with African centric art and clothing. It's great to hear how they partner with other local businesses as well. The customer service was great, and since I came there to check out their clothes, the staff was very supportive and assisted me through the process. I first found out about them through a street fair they hosted with other vendors. And I love their variety of children books that represent the kids I work with. Overall, wonderful store.”

“Yvette, Sara, Esther, Dev, Patti and the whole team at Mystical World have treated me like family since I first discovered them at a Fair. Highly professional and educational with years of studies all things Metaphysical and more. Always a warm and kind hearted welcome. I’ve been referring them to family and friends for years with zero disappointments. These are caring, understanding, knowledgeable, and helpful people. Their crystals and stones are mesmerizing. They have everything you may need including the most beautiful of mass cards to express your sympathy to those who have lost a loved one. Their collections of angels and statues is pristine. Their classes are both therapeutic and educational. They hold several meditation sessions during the course of the week with Yvette’s soothing tone of voice bringing you to complete relaxation and feeling recharged afterwards. I’ve been a patron for around 15 years. They have never steered me wrong. I walk out of the shop feeling happy, positive, and empowered.I am so grateful and thankful for finding everyone at Mystical World.”

“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.”

“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).”

“I visited The Book Trader a few days ago. What an experience! First of all, they have every type of book imaginable. From cookbooks to sci fi, from fantasy to biographies, from adult romances to children's picture books! You could find books from the 1600s all the way until the 21st century. The Book Trader is exactly what its name says: it trades books. You can bring books, which they will give you store credit for and then you can buy books for cheaper than they would cost in a regular store. This was such a great idea, in my opinion. I traded in 2 books and bought one. Now, aside from being separated vaguely by genre and authors' works being mostly together, there is no other sorting system to this store. Books, as you can see in my pictures, are all over the place and it is very hard to walk around parts of the store. If you want a specific book...good luck! Also, make sure you have cash on you. The store only takes cash and checks.”

“My first thought was that this is a store for school. But the first time I went inside with a group, I was surprised. It was a bookstore with a cafe with delicious breakfast pastries.??? They also have tables and chairs for when you sit down,read a book ? and drink coffee. ☕ They also sell puzzle pieces here too like Lego Star wars and other stuff. Also onesies and stuffed animals. You can also buy cookies, brownies and other treats. Some of them are kind of expensive but most of them aren't.☕ The place is full of knowledge and has your favorite stories to read and learn.?? I recommend this your favorite bookstore because it has a cafe and it's located near the mall.????☕?”

“Not only will they order books they don't have in stock, they'll wrap them in much prettier paper than Amazon. Support independent bookstores and small businesses by shopping local!”

“The new Union store in the Union Plaza Shopping Center is half the size of their previous store in Springfield. I love the little niches they built, it feels so cozy.”

“For my birthday this year, one of my plans was to tour comic book shops in Manhattan and Queens, and this was one of the first destinations on my list! Forbidden Planet did not disappoint! This shop is phenomenal! There's such a wide range and variety of different fandoms represented, tons of unique collectible figurines and merch both vintage and from more recent times, fun accessories like buttons, pins, keychains, and of course so so so so sooo many single-issue comics, graphic novels, mangas, and collected comics. The employees were so friendly and attentive and helped me find the exact Lumberjanes and Kim Reaper graphic novel volumes I was seeking. For a Harry Potter reference (because yes, there are also wizarding world collectibles galore!) Forbidden Planet is basically the Honeydukes Sweet Shop of comic shops If you're ever in Queens, or doing a comic book tour of your own, this is a must-visit shop!”

“This is such a cute little bookstore. Great for book-lovers who just want to roam the shelves and find interesting reads! I love that they have a separate upper floor for poetry, and that they encourage you to stop and sit and read a book. They also have a lot of spotlighted books and staff recommendations that I feel like I can actually take seriously. If only I had more time to explore when I was here!”

“I have been ordering all of my books in Hebrew from here, for many years. Love the selection, and the customer service is helpful when I cant find the books I want. Delivery was always on time. Really happy that this store exists.”

“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.”

“Words is an example of what I want in a small indie bookstore. They have a great selection and wide range of books for the size of their location, and a very well curated collection. They don't try to have every book available, and as a result you can actually discover interesting titles that you didn't know about before.”

“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!”

“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!”
