It's hard to get a good read on many modern day bookstores,
but, fortunately, the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, carries on the
grand tradition of passionate and dedicated locally-owned book selling
combined with a 21st
century relevancy.
The Harvard Book Store indeed meets all the criteria for a great book
store:
new releases, popular and lesser-known contemporary and older used
books, digital books, myriad author
events, superb customer service and early-to-late hours of operation.
They also offer a books-on-demand
service where customers can print paperback books from electronic files
available online. The store is bigger on the inside than what it
looks like from Massachusetts Avenue -- the book selections run deep
from the
front of the store to back on the main and lower levels.
Following the tenets of a traditionally free-thinking Harvard Square
culture, the
Harvard Book Store (located adjacent to Harvard University) does not
follow the paint-by-numbers, generic book
store mentality that has often taken the uniqueness of out today's book
shopping. This is a wonderful book store that follows it own path, and
in the process hundreds of thousands of customers have faithfully
followed this wonderful landmark since 1932.
They sure got it right, calling themselves "Harvard Square's
Independent Bookstore"!
Harvard Book Store is located at 1256
Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA. Tel. 617-661-1515. Also be
sure to follow the Harvard Book Store Facebook fan page
