LOVE this place! Went to a poetry reading there. Best bookstore I've visited in Boston!

I almost skipped this bookstore, and I’m so glad I decided not to. The location is adorable (the building is tucked behind a little campy Tudor-style suburban castle) and parking is super easy at the Trader Joe’s nearby. They had a large selection and I nabbed a couple of fantasy titles.

Wide selection, GREAT author events, and the staff are so friendly. They even helped me with getting to the bathroom to change my baby. Decent prices too considering it's an independent bookstore. Highly recommend!!!
