Sweet little book shop next to the park and ice cream shop.
Very nice bookstore, with different titles and also Word merchandise. Good place for buy a book, cross the street and sit to read in the park.
Small bookstore that has a great variety & will happily order whatever they don't have in store. Staff that are always ready to help you find something to read and an interesting assortment of goodies, candles, pens & pencils, cards, notebooks, totes.
Very cool place Good service and selection
A handy neighborhood bookstore located in Hamilton Park in Jersey City. They also have a location in Greenpoint in Brooklyn. While perhaps not the widest selection of books, it still stocks an impressive variety of books. A book lover won't have any issue finding something to read.
I called this bookstore to inquire about “My Selma”book. The gentleman who answered the phone was very kind. I look forward to meeting them soon.
Such helpful and welcoming staff! Great options and lovely environment
A great community store! They are always kind and helpful and can order anything you need. Does it come in two days? No. But it does come and it's held by the staff for you, as opposed to being chucked onto your doorstep by an underpaid, over stressed Amazon worker.
In theory, I should like this place. I have a young daughter who I am encouraging to read and would prefer to support a local bookstore as opposed to amazon. The staff here isn’t very welcoming. I am not the guy who looks for nor wants a lot of customer service interaction. My experience was that I walked into the shop, carrying my daughter, at a time that there were no other customers in the place. Neither of the employees greeted me nor asked me if I needed help finding anything. As I browsed the shelves, I was planning to pick up a couple books and cancel an outstanding amazon order, but one of the staff walked by me to re-shelve books, whispered ‘excuse me’ and still didn’t ask if I was finding everything alright. It was almost as though I was in the way (in an empty shop); and seemed oddly cold and unwelcoming, something you can get by buying online while spending less. I walked out. I won’t be going back. 2 stars for selection. Maybe your customer experience will be different.
WORD is love at first sight❤️ It is located on a cute block, right next to Hamilton Park. Homey, cozy and neat bookstore with great selection of books in variety of genres. Fantastic children's literature section, offering art supplies and toys in addition to books. Reasonable prices! Sales people are knowledgeable and patient with customers of all ages. Will certainly be back!
Word has such helpful and friendly staff! Great book store with a broad selection. They have games and other fun things, too. I love that they added outdoor seating in Hamilton park!
Refused me service because I didn’t wear a mask Lmaoo what a lame place
Very helpful staff. Beautiful book store with a great collection.
Nicest and most helpful staff you’ll get in Jersey City. No contest.
Local book store, clean setting, friendly staff, nice assortment of books for a small store.
Literally my favorite bookstore in NJ. Lovely staff and always new and cool books, events, and all kinds of knickknacks
Lovely lively book store, this place makes Jersey city a city.
I love this bookstore! It is right off the Path train stop. They have a great selection of books and if you can't find what you want in stock they will order it for you.
Just discovered this spot not too long ago and my last two visits have been amazing. Customer service is also really good. Male ringing me up was helpful and even recommended me some titles after I told him I got back into a genre. Will definitely be returning.
