this place takes getting used to. The organization is different, and requires some thinking to find what you want. But the people are ever-cheerful and helpful (especially Reg in travel) and you will almost always find what you are looking for, and almost as often something you weren't looking for too.

I live in California and visit the Boston/Newton area at least twice a year..My first stop has always been the Mobile Book Fair..I love books, and this place is a haven for anyone who loves to shop for, and read books, or listen to tapes...great place to buy gifts for friends and relatives, and the prices are right..The atmoshphere is quite conducive to just browsing, and soaking in all the titles that surround you...Enjoy.

Fantastic place to buy books! The only negative I have found over the years of shopping there is that they seem to have no ways of knowing when to re-order books. They use the old fashioned system of ringing up sales manually on the cash register, so there appears to be no way they know when copies of particular books are getting low. I estimate ...

good book store very interesting good food store

This wonderful store is the antithesis of its name - never could be mobile - there are too many rooms, and too many books. But what a place to get lost for a day - or a life time ! ! ! There are rooms full of every subject under the sun. New books, OP titles, and lots of discount clearance titles as well. Bring a friend or several and have a wonderful time working with John or Melinda or Emil or anyone else handy.

Great for signed books as well. Don't forget to check out the bargain room.

Even though it is organized by publisher, items are still easy to find with their computer system. The prices are low, the inventory is enormous and I travel for almost an hour to this most excellent bookstore every month or two for new books.
