Dropped in after seeing it listed as a place to visit whilst in Boston. Easy to find after a pleasant walk through Boston Common.

Straight away I knew this was the place to get my daughter s birthday present. As she is a student of all things literature l knew the tome of Milton s poetry would be just the thing. The translation of the magic mountain is also something I know she would love. For myself as an amateur historian of the 19th century Royal Navy, an original copy of the 1805 naval chronicles is something I am already enjoying ownership of. One of the more recent but out of print books I picked up was something I was specifically looking for.

If it wasn t for the helpful staff I might have spent even longer looking for suitable books.

Reasonably priced. Even the 3rd floor of rare books.

If you want the newest coffee table book, go to amazon. If you want a 200 year old book or an out of print book then go to this bookstore. There is something for every book lover.
