  • The Booksmith is just like it was way back in the 60s when I was a teenager - only better and so much bigger. Lots of Boston and Brookline things to buy

  • This is a fantastic independent bookstore. Beyond the typical bookstore and cafe combination, Brookline Booksmith has a busy, varied calendar of guest writers, many of whom are frequent best-seller lists.
  • Big, and well organized bookstore with well informed and helpful staff. There are so many book and gifts to choose from. It does get very busy during the holidays but the staff stay positive and take their time to make recommendations or help you find a book.
