“This bookstore focuses books published by MIT press and curated titles. It’s a “smart people bookstore,” with books that make you think and learn. The shop is down in a basement and I got lost in reading the backs of books, time marked only by the overhead rumble of the red line. The books here are niche enough that there are only occasionally copies at the local libraries, so I do end up spending money here rather than getting it at the library. There’s also a kids book section that has some excellent variety: I can do all my holiday shopping between this bookstore and the MIT Museum gift shop upstairs.”

“Wonderful community bookstore, everyone I interacted with was so lovely and nice, the café even had half-caf iced coffee which absolutely made my day. It wasn’t even that expensive.”

“This a great store, been in business for decades. Stuart is great as are all the employees. They will look things up, engage in dynamic conversation and the other customers are knowledgeable and friendly as well. One of my favorite stores in the Boston area, they will even order books for you. I it!”

“Helpful staff will point you to the section you want, but don't necessarily expect the particular book you seek. It's not a new book store; it's a used book store, so they're limited to what comes in. That said, they have a terrific, wide selection.”

“I've easily spent hours here, skimming through poetry books. It's always interesting because what I end up buying reflects my mood of that day. Nice place to get inspired, and reflect and read. They have contemp poetry, a translated section, a lot from local poets, the selection feels infinite sometimes lol. The man who manages the store asked me if I was a poet once - which was cool, because I write sometimes but only for myself. The manager, himself, is a published poet. And they do readings here from time to time too. You can definitely find books in every price range. This shop is probably the best thing Harvard square has to offer. Love love love.”

“This store sells products and souvenirs with the theme of MIT, which is a research center of the highest level in the world, considered a leader in technology. They sell keychains, caps, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, gloves, USB drives, among a variety of products. the prices...just like the rest of the state of Massachusetts, they are high prices. The clothes are made in other countries such as the Republica del Salvador, China y otros, however they are of very good quality.”

“Great selection especially of SciFi books. Lots of little RPG books - great! And also really well stocked in the board game area.Worth a visit for those interested!”

“The place is nice, staff is attentive. I'm knocking off a star because the MIT paraphernalia designs are the same tired old designs from 30 years ago. The logos are monochromatic with no accents. While you may find a jewel here and there, most of the designs are not worth the amount they charge. Unfortunately, they seem to have a licensing monopoly or something.”

“Harvard galore. Great bookstore. This is a very large multi level store with lots of school merchandise. I think that of all the local stores in the area the Harvard Coop has the best selection. The checkout lines look long and intimidating but they move very quick.”

“A nice bookstore with lots of books and crannies stuffed with books. Used books and clearance are downstairs with new books, notebooks, puzzles, and gifts upstairs. There's a rewards program. The prices for used books are a little high - the Alice book I purchased was a bit over half of the original price of $16 with visible wear and tear. However you could spend lots of time looking in both floors. (Note that there are only stairs to get down.) It is quite crowded but the staff is friendly and helpful. Of course there are a lot of things in the area and it's worth a stop.”
