Boston Book Annex

In its Beacon Street location for nearly 27 years, the Boston Book Annex boasts over 100,000 titles of both general used and scholarly books and maintains an impressive foreign language section. The inventory is perpetually added to and you can expect to find prices anywhere from 50 cents on their sidewalk cart on up to $50 inside for more rare finds; most fall within the $5 - $10 range. The shop buys from the general public, usually offering up to 15% of the cover price.
