A Harvard Square Bookshop with a Used Book Basement
Browse curated new releases, remaindered titles, and signature merchandise across from the main campus.
📚 New Titles, Used Finds
Harvard Book Store brings curated new titles to an independent shop directly across from the main Harvard campus. Begin with a slow browse through the current reading selection, then give the remaindered titles their own stretch of your attention. Signature merchandise adds a souvenir option alongside the books, whether you are choosing something for yourself or taking a little Harvard Square home.
The shop dates to 1932, and its extensive used book basement is the detour to leave time for. Head downstairs before making a final choice, with room in your browsing plan for a book you had not set out to find. Students, scholars, and neighborhood readers all make up the mix here.
Find it at 1256 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge. Opening hours run Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 10 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 9 PM.
