She was very very knowledgable and navigated the store like a champ. The amount of rare and antique books is really fun to look through! My husband bought a few rare copies of Steven King's IT and The Stand. They also buy back books - but you have to make an appointment on Thursdays. I can't wait to go back.

We are long time Concord customers who asked them to re-issue a holiday gift certificate. The gift…read morecertificate never arrived in the mail and when we asked the store to cancel and re-issue it, store management said they would not do that. Considering that we often shopped there once a week, this is very poor customer service. The store seems understaffed and their service has deteriorated.

They support local authors and even from time to time musicians. I have performed here a couple of times and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and professional. Their great event room is a multi-purpose section of the store with a seating capacity of maybe 45-50, give or take. Keep your eyes open for events here! Also has a great selection of gifts. :) The food at the cafe was delicious too!

More than just a bookstore that's for sure! Boos, games, kids toys, gifts, and so much more! I've…read morebeen here a few times and I'm always happily surprised to find something for an upcoming birthday or event I need a gift for. Staff is helpful but nothing over the top. If I'm in the area I love stopping by.

Now, January 16th, I called and they had 3 copies I bought, signed! They are being shipped as I type this. I can't say how impressed we are with the service of the bookstore.

I went today to pickup a book at Wellesley books. When checking out, at the front register of…read moreWellesley Books on Washington St. Wellesley, the woman who is tall and in 60s put on the so sweet fake attitude. I said it was a hard book to find. She said it's popular and everyone loves it. Be sure to come back and tell us what you thought of it. When I brought up a historical fiction book I had just finished, related to current times, her attitude totally changed and a condescending disapproval shown through clearly. I don't go to book stores for that and I will not go back.

Small but mighty! Loved the ambience and selection of collectibles. Great customer service.read more

Made another stop into Barrow Bookstore, one of my favorite bookstores of all time today. Whenever…read moreI stop by Concord, I drop in. As usual, I found an outstanding selection of amazing books at great prices. Where else can you find beautiful hardcover books on the fall of Constantinople, Napoleon, and Led Zeppelin, accompanied by peaceful music, courteous staff, and a beautiful day? It's a pleasure shopping at this place. Kudos.

Interesting place. Not super huge. Good place to just check out if looking for something to do.read more

Fat Cat Books is my favorite bookstore in the Boston area and online. The owner is remarkably…read moreknowledgeable about all genres of books and if she doesn't have the one you're looking for, she'll find it: old, new, rare, or unique. She often gives me suggestions about books to read or give as gifts and I and my family have never been disappointed in what we've discovered as a result.

They sell a mix of both new & used books, and their used book selection is amazing and well priced.

They offer both new & used books, the selection seemed endless. I liked that they offer used books in pretty good condition, as well, at reasonable prices. Lots of fun bookmarks & cool kick knacks!

I love this store in Framingham. Everything about them is customer service…read more Kathy, an associate, stopped by while I was looking at one of the tables of discounted books and we had a wonderful chat. She asked me if I needed help and because of her, I did make a purchase. I bought my nook at the Salem, New Hampshire store and have been at the 3 story store at the Grove in Los Angeles. No matter where you go, customer service is their bible. Unless they have one and I didn't see it, the store is so huge it needs a map with a YOU ARE HERE arrow.

This is the type of store that really adds something intangible to a town. Andrew is not only…read morehelpful, but is personable and can talk about any genre of books, it seems. I've been going here since they first opened, and my son has graduated from playing with the toys in the fully stocked and very convenient "kids area", to looking at chapter books while I browse the rare and obscure selections from social sciences, geography, history, you name it. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the amazing artwork and cool gifts and games for sale as well. A lot of the art is locally made. It's a funky store, and absolute opposite of Amazon. Go here.

Huge store with all types of used and new books. I only had time to look in the children's section…read morewhich was huge and decently organized by categories such as (sensory/cause and effect, holidays, popular authors, language, potty training, family). You could spend a good chunk of time browsing through the bins and shelves. It is great that they have a train table in the kids area so they kids can play while you browse the books. I was searching for Lunar New Year books, but couldn't find any. They had a bin for the big holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and a general holiday bin for smaller holidays. The employees were nice and can system search by author/title, but they couldn't do a search by general topic/genre.

The Used Book Superstore in Burlington is my personal money pit -- and honestly, I'm fine with it…read more I've never managed to leave with fewer than ten books, and at this point, I don't even pretend I will. The selection feels endless. Every genre, every niche, and then, just when you think you've seen it all, there's a wall of Blu-rays, DVDs, video games, board games, and random bits of memorabilia you didn't know you wanted until they're already in your basket. The prices are almost insulting to other stores. Seriously, I've paid more for a cup of coffee than I have for some of the books here. You'd almost feel guilty... except you don't, because you're too busy carrying out a stack taller than your torso. The staff is excellent -- actually helpful, not the fake "let me know if you need anything" kind. They've tracked down what I came in looking for, and then somehow convinced me to walk out with three more titles I didn't even know existed. My shelves at home are groaning under the weight of their recommendations, but sure, suggest me another series. Why not. I've been a regular for about a year now, and as long as I live in Massachusetts, this will be one of the few places I actually look forward to throwing money at. You never know what you'll find here, which is exactly why I keep coming back.
