Raven Used Books

Having served Cambridge for five years, Raven Used Books just recently opened this Newbury Street location. Unlike the dark, disorderly dens one typically expects in a used books store, this spacious, light-filled room is beautifully organized with easy-to-read spines lining the natural-colored wood shelves. Each book is carefully selected to ensure quality and typically half-off the cover price. Predominantly scholarly material and classic literature, the owners do take pride in their extensive architecture section featured at the front of the store. Also, a distinguishing factor from the Cambridge location, this store carries a large selection of cookbooks and children's books.
