There can be a long wait to get in the door of this Harvard Square icon so please be prepared if the weather is nasty or cold. Once inside, though, you experience a warm, friendly atmosphere where the help is always happy to assist you. Among the many different areas of emphasis there is a comprehensive section devoted to world historical titles (one of my favorite sections) on a vast array of subjects. There is also a stunning collection of art books (and I really mean stunning) with a large section devoted to it. The store, in general, is jam packed with materials so social distance requirements make browsing a challenge. Don't forget to check out their basement section for used books in great condition.

Exceedingly rude staff were not child/family friendly.

I participated in release day event with an author signed novel. It showed up on my doorstep wrapped in bubble wrap, and I didn't have to open the envelope because it had torn open in transit. Luckily the bubble wrap mostly did its job. The only damage I have is a minutely wrinkled dust jacket where a book corner caught and a bookmark with some edge rolling. It's about the amount of wear it'll probably see going on and off the bookshelf. I just think one layer of bubble wrap, and a lightweight bubble wrap envelope wasn't the best way to send an autographed, two pound and 1,200 page novel in the mail.nnI'd love to see the store in person someday, but I won't order online from them again.

Ordered a book weeks in advance as part of a release event. The book came out a week ago. Finally checked the shipping tracking and USPS hasn’t even received the book yet. Also they’re shipping media mail which is the slowest shipping method. Was hoping to have the book within a day of release now wondering if I’ll ever actually receive it.
