Brattle Book Shop

Very neat experience to browse the shelves of books outside and rows/shelves of books on all 3 floors of the store inside. All staff were helpful, kind, well-versed. Much enjoyed. Much appreciated. Current hours are 9am-530pm.

Absurdly expensive for a used bookstore, though a fun experience. Everything I found inside was priced $7-$25. Some things are priced higher than their original price — just regular books, not 1st editions or rare books. Big space for downtown Boston but small selection overall. I always try to find a good used bookstore when I’m traveling, and this place was a fun visit even though I didn’t buy much. The outside racks are cool to look through and range from $1-$5.

Some of my favorite places to visit are bookstores. Here is why you should visit this one: 1: plenty of affordable books to select from. This place is a treasure hunt and it is so easy to get lost in everything this store has to offer. 2. On days with no rain the lot becomes and open air book market! 3. 3 floors of books. The sections make it easy to find what you are looking for, but again, there is so much to look at you should deticate time to explore. 4. There is a good selection of rare books! These are located on the 3rd floor. 5. Kind staff, I enjoyed the interactions I had with them and they were helpful. Overall I would highly recommend checking this store out! Look at my photos to get a sense of the space.

Beautiful bookstore with all types of genres. Great 5 and 3 dollar section outside. Books are pretty pricey and generally not cheaper than online ordering, but it’s a staple shop of Boston and I’ll definitely come back to buy something when I have more time.

Charming spot with lots of great finds. Check out their rare books on the third floor!

Probably my favorite bookstore i’ve ever been to. Most of it was nonfiction and politics or history which I absolutely love. I’ve never seen such a wide selection. The outdoor section is fun to browse through, but I don’t think it’s organized in any particular manner so if you’re looking for something in specific, it’s a bit of a challenge. Overall an incredible experience. Will absolutely be dropping by every time I come into Boston.

Best place in Boston. Great books for a great price. I wish this was in New York smh
