Paranormal Books & Curiosities

Having spent my first career in education and been a lover of good books, I hoped my next career would include books. I have always believed every town should have their own community bookstore, a place filled with good books, the type that get people to feel, to think, discuss, laugh and enjoy. To prepare for this goal, I worked part-time at a bookstore and learned the day to day operations. I took a course on the essentials of opening a quality bookstore and visited as many bookstores in New Jersey as I could. I found many bookstore owners to be both warm and generous with their time. Many of these owners have become close colleagues and remain a strong network helping my own bookstore, thrive and grow.

Specialties include Cultural Theory, Graphic Design, Poetry & Small Press Publishing, Film Studies, and Foreign & Domestic Periodicals and Journals. Open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to Midnight, Sundays 11 am to Midnight.

Tucked inside Newtown's historic train station since 1989, this comic destination occupies a soaring space with 14-foot ceilings that create an airy, welcoming atmosphere. On a grey winter afternoon, the tall windows flood the shop with soft light, making it an inviting refuge for browsing. The team genuinely enjoys helping both newcomers picking up their first issue and seasoned collectors hunting for their next find, approaching every customer interaction as a chance to make things memorable. The vintage bones of the old building pair perfectly with the modern passion for comics, creating a spot where conversation flows as naturally as the open floor plan suggests.

The ranks of New Haven's used bookstores have thinned a little in recent years: Whitlock's on Broadway is gone, so too is the fine Elm City Books, which had a good run on York Street a few years back. But even if those stores were still around, the Book Trader would be a worthy winner of this category. And even if you couldn't buy a delicious sandwich or muffin here, it would still be a major destination for book lovers. The key is selectivity. The shelves are not weighted down by mediocrity, but rather lifted up by good stuff. Some of it is obvious: You'll get your Ian McEwan, your Kazuo Ishiguro, your Jonathan Spence. Some of it is more obscure: Sitting on shelves in recent weeks has been a first edition of John Ashbery's hard-to-find novel, which he co-authored with James Schuyler. And you can also buy a good paperback mystery or sci-fi adventure.

Philippe Starck has designed the space – as he has done with all TASCHEN Stores in New York, Paris, and Beverly Hills.

Walk past the front windows on a crisp winter afternoon and you'll spot two inviting chairs bathed in warm light—a quiet counterargument to the cookie-cutter retail landscape that dominated the 1970s. This independent shop predates the museum next door by several years, having launched back in 1976 with interiors that echo the distinctive white oak character Jay Bright drew from the museum's iconic Louis Kahn architecture. The custom-built shelving and thoughtfully curated fixtures were deliberate choices that set the tone from day one. When a neighboring cheese operation closed in 1980, the owners seized the opportunity to expand into that space, creating a more generous experience for browsing and lingering—the kind of place that feels especially welcoming when you need refuge from the cold.
