I recently moved to the neighborhood and discovered Trident Cafe almost by accident one day. The staff made me feel so welcome, the service was fantastic, the food was really good and reasonably priced. Great place to go alone, with your honey, with your pals or with your kids!
Pros: Relaxing, friendly, good food

Despite the name, you'll find much more than comics here. In fact, if anything, the focus of the store is really music or, more generally, pop culture. Their music selection is great, and they've added a nice DVD collection as well. Additionally, you can find a large number of cool chachkas. It's a great place to browse if you're idly wandering around on Newbury Street, and it's hard to resist buying something neat on the way out.

The Brattle Book shop in downtown Boston has a plethora of antique and out-of-print books for collectors and treasure-hunters alike. They have so many first edition books- which make excellent hard-to-find gifts for book lovers.
The staff here is very knowledgable and is excellent at making recommendations or helping patrons navigate the vast selection. It's easy to see why this has been an institution in Boston since 1825.

My best friend's father is a used book dealer and we grew up going to the Brattle Book store with him. At a younger age, I didn't fully appreciate how wonderful the selection was, but I am now constantly amazed at the treasures held within the store. A definite must for anyone who appreciates rare books.

Barnes and Noble has to be my favorite chain book store of all time. Not only do they have the best selection of books, but the store is always well-stocked and well-organized. This store always has a relaxing atmosphere, encouraging shoppers to take their time and read a little while they’re there.

I personally enjoy bookstores that have not made it to the corporate level yet; therefore, any bookstore that qualifies is definetly high above Barnes and Noble or Borders. I like this place, not as much as the Brattle or the Booksmith, but it has its own charm. Definitely recommened it if you are of the same opinion as myself.

A true gem, this bookstore is more than just books and magazines.
Nesteled in this small store is a fabulous cafe with food that is just fabulous! Everything I have tried is great and leaves me always wanting more.
There is a nice selection of current bestsellers and magazines. The store also has a few readings and activities throughout the month that can easily be found out about by subscribing to the online newsletter.

I prefer the Borders to the Barnes & Noble at Downtown Crossing - it's bigger, the selection is better, and they have kiosks where you can look up things yourself without wating at a customer service desk (an important feature in a crowded store). Their magazine selection is terrific and so is the massive cookbook section. There's a little cafe with some good teas and mediocre coffee drinks and pastries. The lines here are huge at lunchtime and right after work, and are not to be believed almost anytime during the Christmas season. Strategize accordingly if you are in a rush. The line moves pretty fast but if you're just here for a magazine you might want to go elsewhere.

More
Harvard Book store is not affiliated with Harvard University so you won't see any textbooks here but the selection for every other genre of literature is superb. It is not about quantity at this bookstore but quality books at a sometimes below market price. The basement houses one of the best used book sections in the area while the upstairs has a section for most genres though it leans towards the social sciences and humanities. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and well read. This means that the selection at the front of the store is almost always full of interesting books not likely to grace the bookshelves of Barnes and Noble.

Fellowship Bookstore has a great selection of Christian related books available in the store. It also provides a lot of other supplement materials for Christians, and for beginners as well as growing Christians as well as for the Christians searching for deeper knowledge. And Of course, in its book selections, there the Bible too!
