Member Reviews

best used bookstore in Boston:
Unbelievably good books very inexpensive. Strong sections include Fiction, Poetry, Art, Philosophy, History, Music and Children's books. Does not have mysteries or sci-fi. Books at least 50% off the cover price - if not a good deal more.

Editorial Reviews

The specialty at these little shops is scholarly titles -- an underserved market when the Cambridge location opened, and a niche Raven filled so well that in 2010 it branched out to Boston. Both carry enough general-interest stock to keep casual browsers engaged while their more academic companions explore.
