Little City Books

This place caught my attention the minute I saw it. I love bookstores especially local paces that cater to the community and has even a big kid section downstairs. They have a range of genres and even a staff selection which I thought was very creative. They also have some seat around if you want to read and check out your books before puechasing. The pace was very calm, books are fairly priced for a local boo store and staff was attentive to help those around me. I would love to come stop by again!

I adore this this bookstore nestled on the corner in Hoboken. Although it is small they really have a good selection of books. If they don't have the book you need, they can typically order it. I had a book ordered and it took a little longer than normal but as soon as it came in, they notified me. I was able to pick it up promptly. I especially love their children's section in the back. I was surprised at the amount of children's books that were in the store that represents some other cultures. I've purchases quite a few books for my niece there. I always prefer going to a bookstore and thumbing through books vs ordering on line and this cozy bookstore is a good one to visit.

Loved visiting this bookstore while in Hoboken. The staff is friendly and helpful. Great selection of books. I bought three books and even got a free tote bag! Store is clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again.

They had a good selection of books. They offered some fun and different books but also some main stream popular authors. I really enjoyed how they organized their selection.This area of town is supper cute and full of restaurants and bakeries.

Very unfriendly environment

Whenever I come in, nobody smiles or asks if I need help finding anything.. it's almost as if they're doing me a favor by allowing me in.

They also still uphold Draconian and senseless mask mandates for a "pandemic" that ended two years ago.. so, it's impossible to breathe while you browse. That alone is a reason not to patronize Little City.

no deals or special prices, you can get everything in the store for 50% less online

No compelling reason really to go.... At least for me.

This cozy little bookstore is perfect. While it's a little difficult to find books in the store due to the layout staff seems to always be helpful when you need assistance finding a book. Love helping this local business!

So I want to give this place five stars because it's adorable and has a wonderful selection. But I just can't because the staff is so awkward and so unfriendly it's strange. For example- I came in the day they opened after being closed since March due to Covid. I was so happy to see them again and I came in really friendly and excited to support them... I opened the door and the staff didn't even look up. Like really, guys? I've been back twice since because I really do want to support a small business, but both times it was the same thing- not even a hello or eye contact. It's sad they're so miserable because there are a ton of small businesses who wish they made it through Covid and would be really appreciative of someone walking through their doors. Get it together Little City Books. Say 'hello,' put on some music or perhaps even push yourselves to crack a smile.

Little kids' annex has a HUGE selection of books and toys with some signed editions and a curatorial instinct that is both populist and activist. Same could be said of the main store for grown-ups and older kids, amazed how much wonderful and heterogenous stuff they pack in there. Killer selection of puzzles, again very well curated.

The cutest and coziest little bookstore in Hoboken. I came here one cold, snowy afternoon looking for a particular set of books. I assumed they would have the books due to them being new releases. The staff working here were easy to talk to and helpful with finding my books. Although the place is small, it's easy to get lost in their large selection of books.

I definitely enjoyed my time here and am glad to support small book stores. I ended up buying two books. I will say that after buying my books, I looked online and of course they were half the price online than at the store. However, I would still come back and buy just to support small bookstores like this one. I don't know why, but as a reader it's so much more meaningful to go small bookstores and finding your book than buying online. I will definitely return.

I wish this bookstore was as warm as it appears from the outside. Walking in, I felt as if I was walking into a funeral parlor. A little music, guys (some moody jazz--I'll even settle for Kenny G and I hate him!)--you know, Xmas season and all that! Now is the time when we need holiday cheer more than ever. Not the time to pick a color for my coffin yet. My spouse and I are readers and we believe in supporting local merchants, but please please please kill the awkwardness in your store, pipe in some Jose Feliciano, give your workers elf ears, put on those ugly-ass sweaters, splash some eggnog, and make us feel alive, the way literature is supposed to.
