Our family vacations in Avalon every year, but we go to Wildwood especially for Hooked On Books. It really is a great bookstore. Our whole family loves it. Last year the guy turned me on to Jodi Picoult. Told me I would cry my eyes out. And I did. She is my new favorite author. My daughter got all the Junie B. Jones books here and I love that my daughter loves books too. We could stay in this store for hours at a time. Oh and they play the coolest music in there. Keep up the good work guys!

My husband and I discovered this store several years ago and were hooked. Frank had been looking for three hard to find books for ages and by the end of the summer they had managed to find all three. It's a lovely bookstore and we're simply taken with the staff, especially the Irish guy Kieran. What a sweetheart! They have recommended new authors to us and we've never been disappointed. They really take the time out to make sure you leave satisfied. Such a wonderful personal touch that you don't find in some stores where you're just another face at the register. We anxiously await their opening each summer and are so sorry to see them go at the end of the season. However, we make sure to stock up for the winter! And for people with children or grandchildren, this is an excellent store, especially if you have those summer reading lists for school! My grandchildren love it! So, I hope you boys win this and we'll see you in a couple of weeks!
Ester & Frank

I can't believe there are any other bookstores in this competition! I have traveled extensively and can say without reservation that this is by far the best bookstore I have ever had the pleasure to enter. I am a regular customer for three months out of the year and visit at least three or four times each week. I have never left empty handed or unsatisfied. You have to see it to believe it!

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS STORE! I am an unusually fast reader and can burn thru a book in a couple of hours. This is by far the best bookstore around! The selection, the organization, the staff... You can't possibly leave empty handed! On the contrary, I often leave with an empty wallet! Hands down, the best!

What can I say that hasn't already been said?!?! The best bookstore, new or used, I've ever been to. A gold mine for the avid reader! New books, used books, hard to find books... the list goes on and on. Everything is sorted and organized and a pleasure to browse. And the staff is top notch! TEN STARS at the very least! No need to go to any other bookstore!

By far, the BEST BOOKSTORE out there! I could spend days just looking thru their selection! Truely a reader's HEAVEN! I've never been in any used bookstore with so many different sections, all organized and alphabetized! Impossible to leave empty handed! The owners are so knowledgable and friendly and go out of their way to make sure their customer leaves satisfied. Definately my first stop each summer and my favorite!

I visited Hooked on Books a few years ago and for a book lover it was like entering a treasure trove. All those fabulous books were clearly organized and easy to find. It is the best bookstore I have ever visited. Truly a New Jersey jewel!

An amazing selection of books are available - and they are great books. A full selection from all my favorite authors are available - the problem for me is when to stop shopping! The owners appear to love book themselves so they are very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations.

I have 4 kids in Catholic school. Finding the books for their required summer reading was a nightmare until someone told me about this store. They not only had the books I was asking for, they ran round the store, picked them off the shelves and put them in my hand. My oldest son won't read if it doesn't interest him, and they were able to suggest the books on his list that he actually enjoyed reading. I can't say enough good things about this bookstore. Even the big mega-stores in the city didn't have half the books I needed and charged three times as much for the ones they did have. Totally worth the trip to Wildwood.

I wish this bookstore was in my town. It is my favorite place in Wildwood. They have the best selection of mysteries anywhere, and laid out easy to find. Love the true-crime selection too. I make lists of authors I want all year and then stock up on reading for the rest of the year when we are on vacation. They give me a nice discount too for buying a lot. LLLLove this place

I think that this is probably the best used book store that I've visited (and I've been to a lot). The selections are wonderful, the service always courteous and friendly, and the place is always a joy to visit. Truly a gem of a place!

I am the sister of the hookedonbooksfan and I've known one of the owners for many years. He's a great guy, great sense of humor and he can sign! I am deaf, too, and it's great knowing that I can go to this bookstore and be able to understand and be understood! I'm going to visit them soon! I want to recommend to everyone out there that reads books to check out "Hooked On Books". You won't be sorry!

I have been going to Hooked On Books for years. Both owners are good friends of mine. They have a wide variety of books for you to choose from. They know me so well that they have books ready for me when I come in. Not only that, I am deaf and one of the owner's can fingerspell and they will work with you to understand what you would like to read. Vote for these guys! They are the best!
