Who We Are
Labyrinth is an acclaimed independent bookstore serving the students and faculty of Princeton University as well as the town of Princeton and beyond.As the official bookstore for Princeton University, our independent store specializes in academic books for scholars, and we can always be relied upon toprovide those books that form the backbone of current debates both inside and outside of the universities. We also carry books of broad and general interest: contemporary and classic literature, poetry, current events, history, philosophy, theology, cookbooks, comics, and books for children. We offer a large selection of constantly-changing inventory, daily sales and deep discounts on most books, used and antiquarian titles,as well as gifts for readers and writers, art supplies and stationery. We are proud to host a full calendar of author lectures, conversations and signings.
Labyrinth Books is owned by Cliff Simms, Peter Simms and Dorothea von Moltke. The first Labyrinth was located at 112 and Broadway, but is now to be found only in Princeton.
We are proud to provide books for customers all around the world. Our collaborations with other cultural, political, and academic institutions or groups derive from a commitment to keeping a culture of reading alive, and to bridging intellectual as well as social divides.
