It's always been super-easy to update my subscription and I love discovering all the pop culture gems when I visit: used records, CDs, DVDs, Disneyana, games, toys, and of course comic books! All at reasonable prices. I love the bins of action figures; you never know who you'll find! Free handicapped parking can be found in the metered lot behind the shop on Chestnut Street. There are also several handicapped spots on Moody Street. Shop is handicapped accessible, though it is a pinch cramped in the back. I've been able to maneuver with a rollator and cane. If you need help navigating or reaching anything, the owner is happy to help.

More Than Words is a nonprofit bookstore that sells new and used books while supporting young…read morepeople ages 16-24 who are system-involved, including youth from foster care, court-involved backgrounds, housing insecurity, and more. The young people help run the store, learn job skills, and work toward personal and career goals--and it truly shows in the care and pride behind the space. The shop itself is small but mighty. I walked out with four excellent-condition used books (three of which had already been on my TBR list) and somehow also added two cookbooks because... no regrets. Everything was very affordable, and it felt good knowing my purchase was directly supporting youth in the local community. If you're near one of their locations (I believe there's another in the Boston area), I highly recommend stopping in or checking out their online storefront. Great books, great prices, and an even greater mission--absolutely worth supporting.

For such a gorgeous bookstore, the service was diabolical. The owner (I assume, being the only…read morefemale and worker in the store) was incredibly rude, not greeting us when we walked in, or when we went to the register, did not say thank you, or have a nice day- cashed us out and gave judgmental stares with an uninterested attitude. if I was a real asshole I would've walked back in after leaving to return the items. It costs nothing to be kind. If you are reading this now, maybe read one of the self help books on your displays, and take a cold shower.

It was a fantastic experience with Old Corner Books that inspired me to open a Yelp! account…read more I had ordered a book on the Old Corner Books website. It wasn't just any book, but an old signed first edition of a children's book that I had nostalgia for. The package arrived quickly, but had been damaged in transit and was empty upon arrival. I was terribly disappointed because it was kind of hard to find, especially signed. I contacted the owner, and she did some investigation with the post office. There was no trace of the book. So here's the amazing part - she was able to find a replacement of the exact book - signed too - and sent that to me. I'm familiar with the author's signature, and it was the real deal. Now it would have been very easy to tell me that it was tough luck as I had no recourse (I purchased directly from the website and didn't have any kind of buyer protection). So to do what she did is above-and-beyond my wildest expectations. Thank you Old Corner Books for being such a wonderful, customer-focused business!
