I always stop by Raven Used Books anytime I'm in Harvard Square. They have a great selection and good prices. They're constantly getting new titles so you're sure to find something new each time you go in.

I love the Raven. Great books and affordable prices. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. Wish there were more shops like this in Boston.

One of the best selections of scholarly used books anywhere. Especially strong categories include history, architecture, philosophy (the best I have ever seen), social sciences, and fiction. The shop at first glance feels a bit small, but it is so packed with good books that one cannot leave without buying an arm full. Prices are also much better than other shops.

Wonderful selection of books! The Raven continually surprises me in terms of the quality AND quantity of books they get in. Just fantastic. Best for people looking for more academic subjects, literature, and Art/Architecture books.

I love this store. I am always finding books that I can't wait to read...and cheap too. I find myself here at least once a week!

Fantastic used bookstore. Probably the best place to shop for used books in the boston area. they somehow manage to avoid unexciting books that clog many used bookstores. Great selections of fiction, art, and especially academic categories such as history and philosophy. Prices are excellent (most are better than half off the cover price) and staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely my favorite place in the Boston area for used books.
