It's the best book store in Harvard square along with Raven books. It's very well organized and most of the people working here are nice and helpful. I enjoy going in without a plan and finding 5 books I want to buy.

I've used them to print 3 different books, just one copy each. They were incredible quality, and the customer service I received along the way was polite and helpful. However, trying to do a fourth book with them has been very difficult. Since COVID, they've not been getting back to me the same as they used to.

This is one of my favorite places. They have a wonderful array of fiction and non-fiction books, with an especially great collection of non-fiction books in the social sciences. The downstairs is a whole floor of used books and a large selection of comics and graphic novels. The staff is friendly and very helpful, and will order anything they don't have on hand!

Nice place. Apparently, you have to "purchase" books and it's not "A Library for Turkeys" as some tour books may say. My family was walking by and a Real Turkey, about 40lbs, started gobbling at my Spouse who was walking my 4 yr old son (with walking braces for CP). This literal Turkey proceeded to dart at them aggressively. It then turned it's head, ignored them, and crossed the road to meet a college aged human person for car keys or something. It was a distraction from our Harvard/MIT visit to say the least. It made MIT look like a better school by comparison. SPOLIER ALERT: Turkeys sleep in trees and there are many lurking around Harvard. During the day they walk around, then they sleep in the trees at night. This was more worrisome than the witches in Salem, honestly. Pardon my use of the Oxford Comma, we we're on Cambridge Street.

You are selling a reprint of the book Views in North Britain for $8 or $10. I have the original book published in 1805. Will you tell me how much could it cost?

While we buy and sell used books, we generally don't deal in antiquarian books; you might check with someone like the Brattle Book Shop for information the pricing of your book.

It is probably easier to call them to get an answer. If they don't have what you want in stock, they usually can order it for you.
