Welcome!
 
Howling Basset Books is an independent bookstore with an extensive selection
of literary fiction; adult genre fiction (romance, mystery, fantasy and sci-fi); biographies and memoirs; cookbooks; children’s books and more.
We are women and LGBTQ owned, and our mission is activist and community-focused.  

We host many community events such as author readings, book clubs and workshops, and we try to be a space for community-building and a place where underserved communities can feel recognized.

Since 2022, we have operated in Oldwick NJ, but in June 2025 we relocated to Lambertville, NJ. Come visit us and our basset-in-residence, Fern!.
