I love this bookstore. I can't believe we've lived in this area for so long and hadn't gone in. The…read morewoman working was LOVELY! 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.

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.

This trip was for a children's book, ended up with a bath book that they had a few options. They were doing an event with a local brewery in Melrose which I thought was a cool collab. First time here I unfortunately couldn't find what I was looking for and parking is tricky in this area. But supporting local feels good.

Great place. People are very helpful and there is a wide variety of materials to chose from.read more

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.

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.

Also has a great selection of gifts. :) The food at the cafe was delicious too!
