I went today to pickup a book at Wellesley books. When checking out, at the front register of…read moreWellesley Books on Washington St. Wellesley, the woman who is tall and in 60s put on the so sweet fake attitude. I said it was a hard book to find. She said it's popular and everyone loves it. Be sure to come back and tell us what you thought of it. When I brought up a historical fiction book I had just finished, related to current times, her attitude totally changed and a condescending disapproval shown through clearly. I don't go to book stores for that and I will not go back.

She was very very knowledgable and navigated the store like a champ. The amount of rare and antique books is really fun to look through! My husband bought a few rare copies of Steven King's IT and The Stand. They also buy back books - but you have to make an appointment on Thursdays. I can't wait to go back.

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.

What an awesome record shop / bookstore in Newton Centre. I've been here multiple times now…read more Tonight I was grabbing dinner and was intrigued by the table of books out front labeled "$6 books or 3 for $15" and it was loaded with goodies. I walked out with Michelle Obama's book in mint condition for $5. Unreal. Inside is full of wall to wall coverage of books and vinyls. Heaven. It's very tidy and everything is organized by genre for both the books and the vinyls. The friendliest man works here - I believe he's the store owner. Very welcoming, softspoken, and extremely knowledgeable. Anytime I have a question, he knows where to point me. Not to mention he's always turning the tunes for a cozy and welcoming feel as you browse. Couldn't recommend this place more. Go check em out!

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.
