Best place to find good scholarly used books in the Boston area
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

10/08/2007 Posted by petermarshal

I have been impressed with Raven's colleciton since they opened 2 years ago. Not only do they have the best collection of scholarly books, but they also stock great Art, Architecture and Fiction used books as well. As other reviewers have said, the shop is on the small side. But the very density of really good books here makes the shop seem so much larger. It usually takes me about an hour to get through the philosophy section and I usually buy at least 8 books on any visit. Further, they tend to price their books cheaper than other used bookstores in the area. Most of their stock seems to fall in the 50 to 80% off the cover price range. Definitely my favorite shop in New England.

Pros: friendy, knoweldgable staff. Books are amazing. Prices reasonable
