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.

POINT PLEASANT: Book…read moreshop Coffee shop Gift shop Event space Dog friendly! The Little Point Bookshop truly does it all. This independent bookstore and community hub is a warm, inviting space filled with thoughtfully curated books, special collections, and fun book-themed finds. The shop is full of character too, with cool touches like an old-school Pac-Man console and even a piano. Grab a comfy chair, flip through a new read, and sip on a drink from The 2nd Cup Cafe tucked in the back. As we wandered through the shop, there was an unmistakable sense of calm and happiness in the air. Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside, making it a perfect stop for book lovers and their pups.

It is a special store and fun to visit with your pup! Friendly and leashed dogs are allowed; just be cautious of the delicate items.

I met shop owner Chris through an Facebook record collectors group. I knew we had similar tastes in…read moremusic and his shop certainly reflected his tastes somewhat - lots of stuff under the broad punk genre and all of the various sub-genres but still plenty of other stuff - classics, pop, hip-hop, etc. Majority of the shop is new, but a small used section and a small vintage section. Everything was meticulously labeled with sections for each band making it easy to hunt for what you were after. Prices were fair as well. Decent selection of pop culture items (shirts, Funko pops, DVDs, etc). It's probably a good thing that they are so far away from me since I'd spend wayyy too much. Though knowing he does online sales and Whatnot Auctions could be problematic for me.
