Fun fact: Did we mention we've been around since 1984 and are one of the largest independent bookstores in the area? Because if that doesn't do it for you, maybe our expansive collection of music will? Or our large scale community events, such as an Easter Egg Hunt, Haunted House, and Holiday Heist.
About our community: You can spend your whole day on Glenridge Ave in Montclair. We love White Rabbit Black Heart, DollyMoo, and Libélula.
