Don’t ask me how they do it, but there’s a bookstore in North Jersey that has not only been iconic, but they have also built a reputation for drawing big names for appearances and signings.

This spring will be no different.

Bookends in Ridgewood, Bergen County, has a lot of A-listers lined up for you to meet over the next few weeks and I thought you might like to know about it.

The store describes itself on Facebook as a “nationally known independent bookstore which hosts over 100 author/sports/celebrity events annually.” They’re proud of having a huge selection of autographed books.

You’ll find them at 211 E. Ridgewood Ave. in Ridgewood. Their website has more information.
