You can't find a better bookstore. Despite the fact that there is a Barnes and Noble (evil empire!) just a block down the street, Booksmith is the place to go and find great new reads. They always seem to have the best books on display on the tables near the entrance, and the staff recommendations are always spectacular. They offer a number of books at a discounted price, and also have a small area near the back for gifts, trinkets and other assorted goodies. If you happen to be in Coolidge Corner stop by, and you won't be disappointed!
