Hi, my name is Ian M and I was a huge comic nerd in the 90's…read more**Hi Ian** But I strayed, and I strayed for a long time. But then I had kids and like many dads my age life had given us permission again to re-experience all the things that made us imperfect, imaginative and rowdy kids. Finding Conquest Comics was really a defining moment for my family (nerdwise) because the nerd world can be....unwelcoming to women and young kids, but form day one the owners were amazingly friendly, helpful and understanding of a young dad toting his little daughters around who just wanted to see and touch everything at eye level. They may not always have what you came for, but you'll always leave with something you want. Great place Great selection Great Staff Oh, and they offer some great deals if you are a monthly subscriber AND they always do up free comic book day really well. They do a great job of balancing their older clients and their younger cleints so that it's enjoyable to all.

A wonderful store! I was there for the first time this week with a friend. My only complaint was…read morethat the aisles for books were very narrow, which would have been ok if several of them didn't have cartons of books blocking the already narrow aisles. These aisles were difficult for my friend to navigate but I use a walker so I couldn't go down them at all. I bought close to $100 worth of books. I am a book junkie and I am sure I would have spent more if I could have gotten down the aisles that had cartons blocking them. Maybe next time. Sigh

Love, Love, Love This Little Gem of a Bookstore! If you're…read moreanywhere near Manasquan, do yourself a favor and pop into this lovely little bookstore. I found books I absolutely love--some I discovered on my own and others that were personally recommended by the store's fabulous curator, and owner Peter. When I mentioned a book I had recently read and loved--Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin--Peter immediately jumped up, went straight to the bottom shelf, and pointed it out. There was even a handwritten staff recommendation and summary attached to the book. Many of the books throughout the store have these thoughtful mini-reviews, which made browsing feel so personal and engaging. I love the overall vibe of this shop. The selection of gifts is just right: a charming mix of journals, candles, book-themed merchandise, and a few toys--including stuffed animals. I fell in love with a stuffed bear and now I'll have to go back because I didn't purchase him (regret!). If you have the time, I highly recommend setting some aside to slowly explore the shelves, stacks, and cozy nooks of this beautifully curated bookstore. It's an absolute delight

Booktowne is such a gem. It's not only a gorgeous shop filled with amazing books, but also a…read moretreasure trove of unique gifts that make it the perfect place to shop for readers and nonreaders alike. What really sets them apart, though, is their kindness. My son, who has special needs, needed help with a project, and the staff at Booktowne volunteered their time to work with him. They were so kind and patient--we'll never forget it. This is the kind of business our community needs. So stop clicking "Buy Now" on Amazon and head to Booktowne Manasquan instead. You'll walk out with something great and know your money is supporting a generous, caring local business.
