“I went in to purchase some gifts for my 4-year-old granddaughter. The woman who helped me was very knowledgeable and resourceful. I had been told this was the place to go. She listened to my my thoughts, issues and concerns and we agreed on a couple of presents. Additionally, she helped ensure that the presence got there on time. I highly recommend this store!”
“I was hosted at the Barnes and Noble in Princeton, New Jersey for a book signing. The event went very well, but I left behind a carry-all. B&N contacted me and returned it via the post at no charge. I call that exceptional customer service.”
“A huge selection of paper calendars and mainstream toys/games that do not require mastery of Mandarin by the age of 3. I applaud the contrarian instincts of any Princeton outpost that specializes in Hot Wheels, toy guns and action figures. Not the playthings of elite academia but certainly provoking a worthy smirk just by being there. Given their inventory, how they pay the rent in this progressive playpen is anyone's guess but needless to say, I'm beyond curious. For that bedeviled tyke who's in desperate need of a plastic AK-47 for show and tell in the gifted language program. Five easy stars.”
“Total home run. The business hours are brief, but if you get a chance to stop by when they are open, this is a gem of a mystery book store. Neat as a pin, and nicely laid out, you could spend an hour pouring through their selection. As the saying goes, I bet you couldn’t buy just one!No way you can go wrong.”
“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!”

“This bookstore is a cultural treasure and if I had written a review a year or so ago, it would have had a solid five star rating. I've deducted one star because in recent months they've drastically downgraded their selection of books in foreign languages. The large section upstairs has been replaced by a tiny selection downstairs among the used and rare books. I was told that they are not phasing out the foreign language section but it does seem pretty anemic at the present time. Sad that, even in a town such as Princeton, readers are depressingly monolingual.
That said, the bookstore is a wonderful place for browsing. They constantly bring in new books of high quality and the used books are most interesting and various. You never know what might turn up.
The staff are friendly and if they do not have a book in stock, they will make an effort to find a copy for you.
In these post-literate times, Labyrinth is an invaluable resource.”
