Great selection. Fair prices. Have found some real gems here. The monthly open mic mix is a lot of fun with some good performers.

Really cool place with a great mission. Didn't even know the books were used until a staff told me. Spent a few hours reading for graduate school and having a coffee. Serve Starbucks coffee so you know what you're getting. They don't have a ton of workspace (3 small two-person tables, 6 lounge chairs, and some stools at a narrow bar up front) but it was enough and not much competition for space during a rainy Monday early afternoon. Really friendly staff (Alisa) too. Definitely plan to visit this place frequently.

Fantastic used bookstore that also serves the community's at-risk youth.  The book collection there is carefully curated, which results in a great selection.  If you're looking for suggestions, the staff is super helpful.  

I came in to find some books to stock my Little Free Library, and I had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Alisa.  She personally helped my husband and I choose a ton of books for our neighbors to enjoy.  Her specialty is children's books, though - she has a masters in children's literature.  As she helped us stock up on books for younger readers, I pulled her aside and asked if she could specifically suggest some kids' books that featured empowered girls and minorities, she just smiled and said that she had already been doing so.  

Awesome.

The company has very good intentions of trying to help youth between the ages of 16 and 21 years old, who are in the system, homeless, or just need a job. I love how they are there teaching the youth about different parts of a job, the data and sales they bring in, and just the driffrent parts of a business and how it's run. I love how the books are all donated from people and how the business just runs off of donations people give. The café is a wonderful place, the food is tasty and the drinks are absolutely fabulous. I love the place.

I stumbled across the location in Boston's south end (e. Berkeley street) and have been hooked ever since. I also have made many friends tag along to this book store. They have the best deals around for used books, they keep the inventory fresh and turned over frequently and a good selection of DVD's. The staff is always personable and I am impressed with how up to date their technology is. Check them out and watch out for sales and special events they have every couple of weeks.
