A complete and very elegant bookstore, very Harvard-style.It's worth coming to buy a book, a souvenir or just to get to know it.

My absolute favorite place in Cambridge! Amazing selection in all departments, but my favorites are non-fiction, children's books (especially the staff picks -- I've discovered so many hidden gems thanks to them!), and the used book section in the basement (both the contents and the vibe). The staff members are amazingly helpful and knowledgeable, and they more than deserve a fair wage!

For the square footage, the titles are so diverse, from mainstream to obscure, there is something for every kind of reader. Adding this to my list of favorite bookstores.

They were having a huge discount on books here so I dropped by. Prices are reasonable, I had already bought souvenirs at another shop, but I ended up getting a few extra stationeries and postcards to send to friends.Downside is that it was so dusty inside for some reason, even with the door wide open it didn’t help.

Cute book store. The sheer amount of knowledge housed between these walls make me want to sit down and devour it book by book. I felt like a kid in a candy store.

What can I say. This is Cambridge history. One of my favorite places to visit every week. It is a little too crowded during school season, though.

Best bookstore I’ve been to in the country, worth driving 2 1/2 hours for from Connecticut.

Probably the biggest bookstore I've seen without being associated with the Barnes & Noble or my beloved borders.They're usually packed right across the street from Harvard.Lot of good deals but be careful you might end up spending more money than you wanted to.

My husband and I love this indie bookstore—so much so that he almost proposed there! We love the wide selection of books available (especially the math section), and the staff are always kind and helpful. We hope to see them be paid a living wage with open communication from management.
