Bookends
Bookstore
Ridgewood’s Bookends is a bookstore acclaimed for its high-profile author signings, which easily put it on par with any chain bookstore in creation, but that’s not to say that is doesn’t improve on the basics of the independent bookstore formula: great selection, helpful clerks, and a neighborhood feel. A New Jersey landmark with high-profile guests a regular feature, upcoming celebrity authors include wrestler Jim Rose, NBA Hall of Famer Bernard King, and Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue.
