Not a corporate chain bookstore; quite the opposite. The Bryn Mawr Bookstore is one of the charming and undiscovered "old Cambridge" locations favored by the locals. The store is run by alumnae for the benefit of Bryn Mawr College. (Bryn Mawr College is one of the Seven Sisters, a group of colleges in New England.) This is the place to go if you are looking for a quiet place to reflectively peruse books. Stepping off the bus on to Huron Avenue is like walking out of a time machine into a more peaceful period in American history.
