Harvard Bookstore is one of the best independent bookstores in Harvard Square. There are a few big rooms with a wide variety of books. You can find nearly anything here. There is a fantastic selection of books that are by smaller publishers that are somewhat harder to find in big chain stores.
The best part of this store is the really great book readings and book signings that they offer. They have some really fantastic authors visiting regularly. I saw the editors of Found Magazine talk there last year and it was great!
When the reading room gets too packed they set up cameras so the rest of the store patrons can watch the reading on the televisions throughout the store. It’s a great shop and has some of the friendliest staff ever.
