About the Shop

One of a Kind.

— ✦ —

"Take a few minutes from your day and stop in to see us — a one of a kind store right here in Rockaway Borough." — Ray

Ray & Judy opened their doors in 1984 with a simple idea: great books at prices that make sense. Four decades later, the shop on West Main Street is a beloved local landmark — stacked floor to ceiling with new and slightly-read books, fresh comics every Wednesday, trading cards, vintage maps, children's books, and surprises around every corner.
