11AM - 4:30PM
9 Spring Ln, Boston“you would be hard pressed to find a shop with a better collection of american history books, let alone in the conditions and prices available, anywhere in the country.”
10AM - 5PM
124 Salem St, Boston“Their array and pricing has something for all. I always have to stop to look at the books outside and I love that inside people sit on the floor and look through books. The only thing missing is a cat that will sit in the sun and sometimes choose you to be the one to lay with as you browse.”
11AM - 7PM
127 Newbury St, Boston“The selection is great and the staff are so friendly and helpful. We were looking for a book they had 1 copy of and they made it their mission to track it down! Success!!!”
“Wonderful wonderful. Rema is a gift herself as is the rest of the employees. They need to be commended for their outstanding and above and beyond enthusiasm and performances.”
“Super cute bookstore! It doesn’t feel like it has a huge selection like other Boston bookstores, but it does have some good picks. I also love their pay it forward program!”
“incredible food in a bookstore?? count me in! their brunch is so good and there are a good amount of both savory and sweet options. the sandwiches are yummy and the sweet potato fries come with curry yogurt sauce and a garlic aioli! they also have alcohol!”
“CLJ is the best church I've been to in Boston. I've been a member since 2008. I am very blessed to be part of this organization. This church is Bible-based and is very well organized. It has an amazing worship team and many programs that serve its members and the community. It's great! Come visit us!”
“I have been a collector of rare books for 3 decades and have never been in a shop with such fine employees. I brought my 20 yo son who had never been in a similar setting and they immediately attended to him and helped him to feel comfortable and appreciated. While they are not the largest antiquarian bookstore the volumes they own are carefully curated and chosen for people with budgets from $50 to $50,000. I have no other relationship to them except as a customer and get no discount for my opinion (I wish!). Much luck to them. Ask to see the Picasso miniature!! Jim”
“Almost every year (sometimes twice a year), I take a trip to Boston, to spend a truly lovely day on Northeastern’s beautiful campus. A big part of this experience is going to the Northeastern University Bookstore!! I LOVE the Northeastern Bookstore!! It has a fantastic selection of apparel, stationery and, of course, many books. Lastly, Tim, the bookstore’s manager is without question, the finest scholar and gentleman. Customer service must be Tim’s first priority because every time I work with him, I have an Awesome experience!!”
“After a shocking price tag at a designer place in Winchester and a horrible experience at Home Depot, I gave 3 days blinds a call. I had just bought my first house and the blinds that were on the windows had the 3 day blinds labels on them, indicating the previous owners had used them as well. From start to finish I had a great experience. My consultant was Sara Morin and she did a wonderful job understanding my vision, I felt a connection instantly. After the consult there were several follow ups from the installation company. The installers came exactly as scheduled and did a great job. We are very happy with our purchase, which I view as an investment just like tile work or new cabinets and counter tops. Our kitchen looks so different now, its amazing how a window treatment can transform a space! Even one change helps to make a space feel like its your home, your design... yours. :)”
“You will find all the things you need regarding anything for school but I will say it is a bit expensive. They do have a good go to snack array and have everyday essentials needed for the dorms or at home.”
11AM - 7PM
800 Boylston St, Boston“Very nice lady. I had a long conversation with her. I like talking to people so I enjoyed her open heart. This was in November 2019, but she was very kind and in return to some medical advice she gave me a complete set of Russian dolls. Very generous! It might be that when the shop was closed she was ill and the person who was supposed to keep it open for her, didn't care enough! Call before you drive all the way to the place!”
“Such a great bookstore. I've only been here once but I'll definitely be going back. The workers here are so helpful and do their best to find whatever you need. The used books are the best, going for as cheap as $3-$4. Got a handful of books for under $20!”
“I went to the store a while back when I went to Massachusetts to visit my grandmother and we went to see the store (I was starting my Harry Potter journey) it has a cool selection of Harry Potter and you will likely find something from your house. And the owner is very nice and even has a small conversation about how I was really enjoying Harry Potter and how far into the series I was. I would really recommend going. I know I will when I go back to Massachusetts.”
“This is a rather small bookshop near common park. I was disappointed in the selection of books they had on site, but this is caused due to the massive amount of Emerson College merch they have.”
5AM - 7:30PM
1 Harborside Dr, Boston“Was surprised by the amount of detail put into the shop decor and layout. Great selection of books and bookish goodies. The prices are pretty average, but worth a look if you're looking for something to read on the plane. The service was okay. I didn't end up buying anything, but the place still seemed pretty neat.”
“The area around HBS is actually hard to find a cheap lunch option. Not just because of the increased inflation, but if you don't want a sandwich. It hard to find a variety. Spangler offered a full tans of food varieties all being fresh. My office just moved closer to Spangler and sometime I just want a quick soup n salad. They have a hot bar that offers cuisines from around the world which makes for a nice change. The staff is so kind and helpful. Peak lunch time can be crowded so plan accordingly.”
“Excellent place to get my Daughter a nice BU hoodie sweatshirt, @ a fairly reasonable price - quality considered. Taking it back to Alabama where my Daughter's a sophomore @ Jacksonville State University. They had an array of items; great selection. A+”
“This is an amazing school! The people and Professors are kind. The administration is very helpful. It is reasonably priced and they go out of their way for each student with the same care and understanding!! Wish all schools were as kind and generous and as attentive with total professionalism, as this school!! #THIS SCHOOL ROCKS!!”
“The store itself is very neat and organized despite the chaos of all of the students coming in to pick up textbooks, merch, and devices. All items were in their respective place, nothing was on the floor and staff was very friendly. They have everything you could think of here.”
“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.”
