Reviews
"The most friendly people work here and as a rare books and vintage book collector with specific records handling in the archives experience - this place is the Jam."
"Awesome bookstore. The owner of the store has so many books ranging from hundreds of years back to the 2000's. Again, awesome place!"
"Saw this store passing by on the East Coast bicycle trip and thought to stop by. It was well worth it. It was literally the only store.not specialized in punk or hc that had a good selection of punk records..lots of very obscure stuff. Not everything was mint but also the owner was not dead set on prices. I loved his attitude. On top, for a shop not specialized in this kind of stuff the owner was very knowledgeable. It's definitely worth the visit. I got an anarcho punk 7" on Crass records for a more than decent price. Recommended."
"Popped in today to donate some books and what a wonderful surprise! A gem of a book and record store. Enormous and eclectic selection of both and the owner is a delight. Insisted on giving us a store credit. My teenage daughter and I had a ball and will certainly be back. Makes me so happy people like Barry are still doing their thing with Amazon having run so many businesses—particularly book stores—out of business. Check it out for yourself and enjoy!"
"Great little bookstore. Nicely chosen inventory with good variety. Books were in great shape. A few prices struck me as high but it is, after all, Greater Boston! Owner was very nice and playing unique music. Will be back when in the neighborhood. Pop in and check it out and support a quality bookstore!"
