Having just evacuated 100 animals from a Gulf Coast shelter in the face of an impending hurricane and bringing them to Jackson I’ve always sought comfort from bookstores. And over the past 15 years you’ve been my shelter from the storm. I thank you for your excellence, your
comfort, your friendship and your support.

Love, your favorite Yankee!

I worked there on and off in the early ’80s. In the years I was there, the owner brought in more and more books and it started looking less like an antique store and more like a bookstore. (They even added greeting cards at one point.) Finally, they sold the place and moved to Texas. Even to this day, I sometimes find books on the shelves with the old RH price tag. I wish the new owners all the best.

Daria, thank you so much for your comment! That is such a vivid description. It’s amazing how they managed to bring that spirit with them when they relocated.

I knew this bookstore when it was Passaic Bookstore, before it relocated to Montclair. In the 1970s I used to walk from my home in Clifton, down Main Ave, past the Herald News building, and the Montauk theater (strictly XXX fare), past the Canadians fur/clothing store, and various other fashion retailers, just to get to this temple of tomes. It was just as magical then and there as is now in Montclair.
