This is a large used bookstore with clearly marked sections, a public restroom (that has seen…read morebetter days) and ample free parking. It is not near a major highway. All books are from 2015 or later, no paradise for resellers looking for antiques, plus for used they're already marked up compared to other places I have been including library sales. The benefit is the wide selection. They also have DVDs and other media. Went to check this out as it is the largest used bookstore in the state but am unlikely to return due to the distance from home. If I lived in the area I would go back. My go to for books is the library but I was buying for two other people, one who lacks transportation and one who has mobility issues. They also buy books.

I've had Beacon Hill Books on my must-visit list ever since my kid moved from PDX to Cambridge a…read moreyear ago. And every time I planned to stop by, something came up. So when my 3-day school holiday break came around, I made it a point for my daughter and me to finally check it out! Plus she's a bookworm. We got lucky right from the start! My kid managed to snag a parking spot right on Charles St, just a block away. Listen- this was a victory in itself because parking in Boston is a muvvafuckinng nightmare. Beacon H. is everything I thought a charming neighborhood bookstore would be. It's cozy, quaint and has so much pizzazz. The space is narrow, rooms are little and even the staircase is narrow. Doesn't matter- it just adds to its old-fashioned charm. They also have a café that I really wanted us to try, but there was a wait, so we decided to stick to books this time. Depending on the weeknd, you might have to stand in line outside- line moves quick. This is the kind of bookstore I'd love to stay in for hours especially on a rainy day because it has this warm, inviting feel. The book selection isn't huge, but what they do have is well-put together with a little bit of everything: fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, etc. If you're looking for an entire collection by a particular author, you probably won't find it here. Like take John Grisham- one of my faves- you're going to find his latest but not his entire collection. I guess that's part of the charm. Lemme mention the service which was excellent and welcoming. Bookmark checked off my list!

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.
