A great bookstore, very large, well stocked and organized. Many historical and more recent books. I looked for a book by Dennis Lehane (the author of Mystic River, who is from Boston) but couldn't find it. Damage. But an address that I recommend for lovers of old paper.

Nice selection of used books. Nice rare book section only a few blocks from Brattle Books.
We are located in Downtown Crossing in Boston, at the corner of Washington and Spring Lane (Oldest street in Boston. Ca. 1630). We are a one minute walk from the "Old South" Meeting House. We offer 40,000+ titles, from medieval manuscript leaves to recent pb mysteries. We have extensive holdings in art , decorative arts, poetry, history, and fiction/literature, among others. Our antiquarian selection is quite strong. We also offer bins of old prints and maps spanning from the 1600's to 1940's. The "State Street T stop" (orange line and blue line) is approximately 90 feet from our front door (at top of stairs, go right, and look to the right and you will see our door or sign depending upon which exit you use. We are open 7 days a week.
