Daniel Pooley year ago
An excellent book shop with a wide selection of fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery etc etc. They almost never let me down when I go in looking for a specific book, and the prices are low! They also let you trade in your stack of finished books for store credit. I frequently make the drive up from Boston just to go here.

My favorite little local bookstore! They have a great collection of used books and can order most things if not in stock. Their website inventory is a great way to browse before you go and there's a 'pick-up and pay in store' option. Bring your used books in for store credit to apply toward purchases! Friendly staff!

Best used bookstore in Boston! Their selection rotates quickly so there's always plenty to look at even though it's a smaller shop. I also like how they process trades and handle store credit.

Small but might high-quality used and new bookstore! I love this independent bookstore. I highly recommend it. It’s well-loved by its owners and employees, who are very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. They accepted my used books in good condition, and gave me a decent store credit. I can use it towards used books (that’s what I am buying most of the time, not sure about the new books credit deal there). I pay with store credit for half the price of used books that I buy there. The other half is out of my pocket. Great deal! They have excellent selection of good quality used books. I am usually buying there nonfiction, sci-fi, fantasy, other fiction, and children’s books.

Popped in for 20 minutes before an event next door, left with a book I've been meaning to buy for months but had yet to find. The Book Rack is cheerful and sunny, and the folks working there are kind and helpful. They have a good collection of new books and used books, and some fun stickers. I wish I lived closer-- it would be painfully easy to become a regular.
