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.

They didn't have the specific book I was looking for on my last visit but I still left with a mystery "Blind Date with a Book" book! Wrapped up and only giving me a tease of what it's about and only $5. Very excited to add this to my book-loving mom's gifts this year. The store has a variety of books, some new and some classics. I also love checking out their book club section on the far right wall for some recs for future reading. The team that was working that day let me know that almost everyone you see in store is a volunteer & that they host lots of events over the course of the year.

Maybe there was and I missed it? This "bookstore " is in the Collingswood flea market so I understand and enough said. However, I bought 8 ( on was a set of 4 small, thin books in a sleeve) 8 childrens books that cost me 15.00 dollar. I was shocked but I didn't say anything. I should have asked how much each was I think, so my bad. I then took a look at the little alcove he has with all kinds of books that were well arranged. There I saw a sign that said 5.00 for each book. Now, there were hardbacks in really good shape, there were trade paperbacks in really good shape mostly, and then there were mass paperbacks. I'm found one hardcover that I really wanted and one trade paperback. I realized that I could buy both online at thriftbooks for most like less with no shipping cos, so I left. Maybe consider doing a price scale? if I hadn't just paid 15.00 for 8 children's books that I will be setting outside on Halloween for kids hat either can't have candy or would just like a fun book for free, I probably would have bought the books I wanted. Instead I left and I won be back.

The museum is small and the tour itself is about an hour long, but it's super fun and entertaining. They only take one group at a time, a maximum of 6 people, so book ahead of time. Our guide was Jack and he was great, very knowledgeable. The tour doesn't cover every percent have in the collection, but you can definitely ask about any items that aren't part of the tour. Overall this is a great way to do something a little different from Asbury Park's regular beach/food/shopping.
