This is a really cool used bookstore. It's crammed with books inside and then has an awesome section outside as well. If anything it's good for pictures.My favorite thing in there though was the bin of vintage postcards for $3 a piece. A bunch of the ones that were written on and postmarked were really old, I saw one from 1908. Awesome.

The best bookstore in the middle of a hub of bookstores. Frequent author readings, and strong selection of signed first editions. Don't miss the eclectic selection of used books in the basement. Even if they don't have the book you are interested in, you may be able to walk away with a print copy--they have an in store on demand press!

Really helpful staff and an expansive selection of books. I came in with a vague idea for a gift and the woman helping me had tons of ideas that worked perfectly. Also just a fun place to look around and read.

The first thing you notice is the ambiance of this store. It feels and smells like a library, and is staffed by helpful library employees.Most of the selection is from the public library, so you know they will always have a good collection, a wide variety and new stuff every day. Find time in your weekend schedule to stop by.You'll be shocked by what you find, who you meet, how much you go home with, and how little you spend.

You would assume, being Harvard, that this place is the best bookstore of all time. Granted they have a decent selection, but it's nothing incredibly special. If you're in the area, take a peak, but if not, I wouldn't sweat it.
