Dear Friends of New Jersey:

It gives us great pleasure to announce the reopening of BooksNJ: The Capital
Bookstore. Located on the street level of the Department of State Building
in Trenton, BooksNJ stocks a broad range of non-fiction New Jersey
publications. Nearly eighty publishers participate, including historical
societies, local organizations, academic presses, and many others--and the
list keeps growing. BooksNJ is a joint effort of the New Jersey State
Archives and the New Jersey Historical Commission. Through a management
partnership with the Genealogical Society of New Jersey, the store has now
reopened for business. Regular hours are Monday-Friday, 11:00-3:00.

BooksNJ offers hundreds of titles relating to every area of the state and
numerous fields of study. We stock: state and local history; genealogical
reference works, abstracted source records and research guides; biographies
and diaries; archaeology, cultural studies and folklore; directories and
regional reference works; economic, political and social studies;
architectural and photographic works, and so on. The store offers books in
print, maps, historical calendars and postcards, audio, video and CD
productions, and other formats. BooksNJ also stocks a number of New Jersey
historical, genealogical, legal and cultural periodicals.

Stop by the store when you tour Trenton's Cultural Complex or visit the
state's research institutions. BooksNJ is in close proximity to the State
Archives, State Library, State Museum, State House, Old Barracks and Trenton
War Memorial. You can also visit our website and view our catalog at
www.booksnj.com. The store accepts all major credit cards.

Start your holiday shopping early at The Capital Bookstore. We will be
planning several book signings this fall. Currently, all Arcadia (Images of
America) publications are on sale for 20% off. Credit-card sales are
accepted by phone.

The State Archives, Historical Commission and GSNJ are excited to announce
their partnership in BooksNJ. Come see us or check out our website.
