I went in Friday night at 6:45. The person on staff quickly told me they closed in 15 minutes. She did locate the book I was looking for which evened out her curt welcome.

Great experience. Wonderful layout for browsing. Great selection. Picked up several books. Cant wait to go back.

Fantastic bookstore! Met the owner, she was lovely. Great space and collection, found some titles in the childrens section I had never seen before that were wonderful.

Beautiful shop with an incredible selection. You will find something remarkable for everyone!

I have been going to this bookstore for more than 25 years. Even before I moved to Newburyport. I cant say enough good things about this book store. The owner and other workers go out on a limb to please. Thank you, Jabberwocky!

We just moved to town and one of the first things we went looking for was a great independent bookstore. And we found it! The staff is incredibly helpful. We have been trying to find some more of Liam OFlahertys work and they were able to order right away which a couple other stores werent able to do. It has a great selection of genre fiction (always a bonus for us), they have a robust kids section as well. I havent gotten to fully explore but I will. And they are doing such a good job in a pandemic world.

Got my son the book he was looking for about star wars...

I must have traveled back in time because there cant be bookstores as well stocked as this in 2021. Maybe Im hallucinating. I hope I see a unicorn next or a steam ship.

This is by far my favorite bookstore. The staff is always super friendly and helpful, they have an amazing selection and are happy to order something when they dont have it in, and Bronte the shop dog is sweet and friendly.

This place was great when other bookstores existed.Now there is nothing comparable.Great bookstore and an amazing sci-fi section!Helpful staff, amazing selection.

We love visiting every time we’re in Newburyport. In covid times they have hand sanitizer by the door as well as free plastic gloves. It always feels great to support a local bookstore.

Love this bookstore! Ive purchased about 10 books here so far and I really like the place. The people are friendly and helpful. Good selection of books. They have events about every other Friday (sometimes every Friday) and speakers, all very interesting and laid back. You can sit outside the bookstore in the main hall of the tannery marketplace and read, relax and drink coffee. I love this place.

Still doing excellent work during this pandemic! Called for help selecting books for my nephews birthday. Steve was so knowledgeable and gave plenty of excellent recommendations. Books arrived in great condition and with plenty of time, even with a beautiful gift bag. Highly recommended!

Love this place. So many awesome books, great people, and I get to help support a local business.

Comfortable book store with a great selection of books. Great staff..very helpful!

One of my favorite bookstores. Independent yay! Great for browsing the shelves. Terrific selection. Wow more kids books than you can imagine. No more bookstores like this. Nice buyers reward system too.

This is a beautiful hidden gem of a bookstore. I was on vacation at Hampton Beach and me and my daughter drove down to this bookstore. It is set in a little mall with a bunch of other little shops that have such beautiful things like goat soap that smells so good. The bookstore has an upstairs with all books for teenagers and children and just some really nice books. It is set up perfect and they are great at helping you find something youre looking for and if they cant find it they will order it for you. Everyone was so friendly. There are three bathrooms connected to that bookstore I just cant say enough good about this bookstore. I plan to go back every year I am on vacation at Hampton. Out of all the bookstores we visited on vacation which we went to about eight of them this was by far our favorite.

Great little shop with a wide variety of offerings and a great reading room!

Possibly the best bookstore ever. A community treasure.

Great bookstore. Helpful staff. Excellent selection. Helpful staff - needs to be said twice. Competitive prices. Will order any book they dont have in stock.

A classic New England bookshop. You are sure to find much to interest you here. The books are well chosen and attractively displayed. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It probably cannot be helped, but almost everything is at full cover price--I compared a few titles with Amazon, which had them for several dollars cheaper. There is a separate room of used books that didnt get a good look at. I recommend this place because I love these small New England bookstores, especially the local sections!

Quirky, well stocked, comfortable. There was a bluegrass band playing while we were there. There is a neat area in the tannery where you can sit and read. Nearby coffee and food. Great kids section.

Jabberwocky is the kind of bookstore you only read about in books. It is a local icon and also a fantastic business. Sue does not rest on her laurels. She and her knowledgeable staff have been working hard since 1972. Its an incredible store which I hope continues to live on well into the future.

Beautiful bookshop with wonderful staff. A great place to find a good book and connect with others.

Everything you love in a bookstore. Like books.

Good place to browse around and find a book.

Beautiful space to browse in. Every visit is a treat.

Jabberwocky is the book shop you hope stays in business forever. Amazon is fine, but you cant hold the volume in your hands and turn the pages. I picked up several books I would never have looked for on line. The store is in Mill No 1 on the first level. ENJOY!!!

Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, great selection in all areas. The store is small enough to be cozy and not overwhelming but big enough to offer plenty of choices in all genres. Hands down the best bookstore in the Newburyport area.

Worth going for sure. Has fairly good used book section.Also...Wicked cool name.

Friendly warm atmosphere...facinating array of subject...everything beautifully placed..Simply love it...even to browse

Maybe Im biased, as a Newburyport native, but this is an extra special bookshop - a local treasure. Owned and operated by friendly and knowledgeable staff, Jabberwocky is a must-stop shop for book lovers visiting the area.

They had a fair amount of books, and everything was like a typical small business book store which is always great. The two women who I met working there were extremely unfriendly! When I asked one to look up a book for me to see if they had it she rolled her eyes at me and another one I was going to ask a question and she briskly walked me to the sections and was a little cold. Otherwise it was a pretty neat book store :)

Wow, what a handcrafted selection, and the location in an old tannery/mill makes this really unique. Seats inside the store and a comfy section outside as well. Would come back to Newburyport just for Jabberwocky

It is a neat book store that has a wide variety of books. I think the prices are reasonable. It is in a neat micro mall.

Great local bookstore with a modestly sized but carefully curated selection of books.

As independent bookstores go, this ones a jewel! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and always ready with recommendations. If they dont have a book, theyll get it for you, fast. Newburyport is lucky to have a thriving bookshop like Jabberwocky!

Lovely store, great and thoughtfully curated selection of books for all ages. Very reasonable prices.

Excellent staff. Knowledgeable and super helpful. Best bookstore on the North Shore.

I absolutely love this book store they really go above and beyond to help. Also have a wide variety if books. Its definitely worth exploring.

Great selection of books. Helpful staff. A wonderful independent bookstore.
