The area needed an indie shop with new books, and now we've got it and a cafe to boot. The selection is terrific, the staff are knowledgeable, they'll order anything and there's also a nice selection of cards and magazines. The displays are thoughtfully done and there's plenty of room to maneuver. There are regular author readings and signings. Porter Square Books is a vibrant addition to the community. They close at 9 - if only it was later.
