Book Stores near Hopewell, NJ

“Loved my visit to this charming bookstore! The owner helped me pick out age appropriate books for my niece and nephews. I wish I lived closer so that I could visit more often!!”

“I ordered the book "Captured Rebel Flag" online-- this was the only place I could find it! The seller got back to me right away saying he had to order more from the publisher in the UK (I think this book has been out of print for 10+ years) and it came! The website is a little outdated but functional and the seller was amazing. Thank you so much! Now that you've got the book back in print a lot of Revolutionary War history buffs will appreciate it.”

“Jazams Specializes in toys, books, puzzles, games, and gifts for children of all ages. It has been a well-known independent toy store in downtown Princeton for many years and has received national recognition from the toy retail industry.

It’s a long-running independent toy and children’s book store known for curated toys, games, puzzles, stuffed animals, and gifts rather than mass-market selections. It has been operating in Princeton since the 1990s and has received national recognition from specialty toy retailers. Regardless of collection, cost is a bit high.

For JaZams in Palmer Square, the easiest paid parking options are:

* Closest: Chambers Street Garage — about a 1–2 minute walk from JaZams. Open 24 hours. Address: 25 Chambers St.
* Also very close: Hulfish Garage — another Palmer Square garage, also just a short walk away. Open 24 hours.
* Municipal option: Spring Street Garage — a few blocks away near the Princeton Public Library. Often a good backup when downtown is busy.

There is also metered street parking around Nassau Street, Palmer Square, and nearby side streets, but on Saturdays it can fill up quickly. Princeton enforces paid parking at many meters and pay stations during posted hours.”

“Elite selection of books ranging from cookbooks to theology books. Very thoughtful selections and knowledgeable staff. Just be aware the books are a little bit pricy but that’s the case with all bookstores.”

“Great old book atmosphere. The in-house dog was adorable and so very calm and sweet. Lots of different types of books, including some really cool older editions.”

“I love reading glass books and their team; very helpful staff, wonderful book displays and exposure. They posted one of my novels “Stars Through Time” in the New York Times book review and I saw instant results! Thank you Reading Glass books and thank you Sonia.
It’s important to get paper books in the hands of readers! It’s not a thing of the past, it’s a timeless adventure. If you are an author looking for good, up close in person exposure for your titles. The Reading glass books will help you every step of the way.”

“Since 2024 I’ve been buying my book which is on Amazon and Barnes & Noble and never had a problem. The book has some history of TCNJ in it as I was on its radio station as a guest with the late DJ TCNJ grad Gregory Anthony Gallo, the people who worked there at first rate And always treated my book about my parents and the professors who used to enter in the alumni who came in And a student who worked for me, like Sandra Lupack and Jane Gascho To name a few in 26 years or joy to have after all, it was my name on their paycheck And I treated my employees with kid gloves and yes, I partied with them not only at other bars but also in the off campus houses as well as partying with Gregory Gallo and every aspect that was TCNJ. I am in Florida now on an errand of mercy And when I return will buy the book I ordered or you could put it on the shelf if they believe in me and my restaurant they would buy it or did I cook and slave for nothing I worked hard for 26 years and I saw my mother and father work for peanuts and they didn’t show off their accomplishments like others. We had celebrities their comfort was number one, and if we got an autograph or a photograph your safety in my opinion and them getting a excellent meal was priority one! Anyone who Denies that doesn’t know me and frankly that’s their loss not mine! keep up the good work at least you’re not selling off property like your competition or I got my four year degree from!”

“I recently had the privilege of attending ANJEC's 50th Environmental Congress, a landmark event that brought together environmental enthusiasts, policymakers, and community members to discuss critical environmental issues facing New Jersey and beyond.

The organizers had meticulously planned every detail, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for all participants. The well-organized schedule allowed attendees to navigate effortlessly between diverse sessions, each offering unique insights into various environmental topics.One of the highlights of the Congress was my opportunity to speak about a topic close to my heart: land injustices faced by Native American communities in New Jersey. The audience was incredibly receptive, engaging in thoughtful discussions that underscored the importance of recognizing and addressing these injustices. The Congress provided a valuable platform for amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, fostering dialogue, and promoting meaningful action.The Congress also showcased the remarkable work being done by individuals and organizations across the state to protect our environment. From innovative conservation initiatives to community-driven environmental stewardship projects, the event highlighted the power of collective action in preserving New Jersey's natural beauty and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.In addition to the stimulating discussions and inspiring presentations, the Congress offered ample opportunities for networking and collaboration.

“Its a shame that more stores like these rarely exist anymore...so we need to support those that are fighting the good fight and doing a good job at it.

This store in this location is deceptive. Its bigger than it looks and it has quite an impressive inventory.

Quality Games for children and adults of all ages are present and accounted for. The shelves contain many treasures that you will not find at Target, Walmart and that's a great thing.

There are shelves upon shelves of puzzles, board games, add one, collectable Funko figures as well as a quiet vibe. If you want to browse...and you will...they will allow you to do so in peace.

Ironically, there is a giant checker set directly outside to help set the tone.

My only recommendations...

1 - Set up a few demo tables and introduce some news games to folks that may not know about them.

2 - while there are many puzzles to choose from, I do not recall any piece count that went past 2,000 pieces. You should have a few in the 10 to 20 thousand piece categories.

Other than that...stop by...wander...and pick up a few things for your family game night...or for yourself, you deserve it!”

“A delightful shop perfect for all types of mystery fans! I stopped by today for the first time and look forward to future visits. The shop is wonderfully stocked with various styles of mystery books and decorated beautifully. I highly recommend visiting the shop if you’re in the area.”

“This is always one of the best book sales in NJ. The sale offers a huge selection, fair prices and a wonderfully helpful staff of volunteers. You can also donate your unwanted books during the year, Wednesdays & Saturdays, 10 am - 12 pm. at the Vanderventer Ave. location. The sale is actually held at Princeton Day School during the spring/winter break. Don't miss it!”

“Amazing service! Also I was able to find a game I’ve been having trouble looking for. I can’t remember the name but the cashier with the long hair was so kind and helpful too.”

“Pretty good place to get books and other things like shirts, Sweatshirts and other clothing items. Depending on the day you will have a better time. Sometimes staff is a little assertive and disrespectful but that's with every company. Overall. Good.”
