GO HERE! It’s in the Matson Library building so a lot of us older folks grew into readers here. True Leaves kept a lot of the charm alive by keeping things like the check out desk and some of the bookshelves. Walking in was like walking back into your childhood home at Christmas time. They’re so much more than ‘just a book store’. They have crystals, stickers, literally themed candles, watercolor paints and a good children’s section. I was impressed by the wide variety of books. You’ll find the classics as well as books by and for the LGBTQ Community. Be sure to check out their “Blind Date With A Book” table. It’s a mystery book with extra goodies tucked in for fun-and it was just $15! Do yourself a favor, show yourself some love and swing by for a visit.

What a gem of a local bookstore. Lots of fun quirky things, bestsellers, witchy fiction, local authors, and a fun vibe. Highly recommend if you are a bookish person.

Stopped by True Leaves Bookstore in Princeton for Independent Bookstore Day and really enjoyed it. It's a cool little shop with a great vibe. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place just felt easy to browse and hang out in. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
