Brookline Booksmith has always been my favorite independent bookstore in Boston. They have a wide array of books (all genres) and a wonderful basement filled with used book treasures. Whenever I visit the city, I have to stop in!
Upon my visit in May, I was pleasantly surprised to see they expanded the store. I loved the area dedicated to cooking and specialty gifts like fun and fancy chocolates. I never walk out of Brookline Booksmith empty handed!
Highly recommend you visit and set aside an afternoon to get lost in the bookstore, your mental health will thank you!

I'm a frequent customer of Brookline Booksmith, and I am always pleased with the customer service; everyone is always helpful and friendly. However, every encounter I've had with the bald gentleman downstairs who handles the buying books has been negative. At this point, I think I will just donate my books some place else because I dread having to interact with him.
Great variation of books.
They so sell used books.
Also small snacks at the checkout.

Their store is H U G E!! They sell new and used books as well as a whole lot of other things! It looks like they host a lot of events there too. What a gem!! Definitely check out if you’re in the area!!! Support independent bookstores!!!
My visit to this bookstore was absolutely delightful. The carefully curated bookshelves, adorned with staff recommendations, added a charming human touch in this digital age. I was particularly touched by the section proudly displaying “banned books sold here, love freedom.” This place is incredibly LGBTQIA+ friendly, and I’m thrilled I had the opportunity to explore it during my time in Boston.
