“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.”
“Store is good. Mall is BAD! Not maintained, pot holes and unlandscsped. Looks like the building is not being maintained-purposely. It's a mess all around b&n, and appears to attract an unsafe element. Closed at 7:00pm but they locked the gates to the rest of the mall before 6:00. That says it all. I won't be back there.”
“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”
“Oh, my daughter wish to stay there all day long. Great helping staff, great choice of books, candles, gift options, fun fof kid of any age from 1 to 101.
Toys choice is fantastic”
“Great used book store in Madison! I love collecting vintage books and they had a wide variety across different price points. I was able to buy four beautiful books from the 1800s for $45. Will definitely visit again!”
“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.”
“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 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”

“Disclaimer: not a student but I attended a conference for my high school students on the campus. Clean and beautiful campus and very nice architectural surroundings. However, I can't rationalize the price tag of this school and would suggest looking at state schools to stretch those academic dollars.”

1043 Stuyvesant Ave., Union
Book Stores
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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).”

“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!”
“I love this independent bookstore. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they have a high quality selection of books. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’ll happily order it. Lovely place.”
