What People Are Saying About Newtonville Books

In Short – Unlike pervasive chains, Newtonville Books has a warm, inviting personality that lures bookworms to its cozy nooks and crannies. The store encourages patrons to take their time while browsing the stacks, which are teeming with everything from new fiction to art and architecture. The knowledgeable staff recommends under-the-radar reads and tracks down out-of-print books. The store also sports a separate children's bookshop (A Lizard's Tale) that is a favorite of area tykes.
The Details on Newtonville Books
When to Go:
The store hosts a "Books and Brews" series, where author readings are followed by a spirited discussion (and free apps) at a neighborhood restaurant.
The Extras:
Newtonville Books also co-hosts "Earfull," a series of evening jam sessions that pair up local authors and musicians.
