Used book sales in Boston are my weekend addiction, and this one’s no exception. The MIT Press Bookstore in Kendall Square is discounting overstock academic titles—perfect if you want philosophy or sci-fi theory books. I’ve built half my Murakami collection from their $2 racks. Meanwhile, the Newton Free Library’s ‘Bag Sale’ lets you fill a tote for $10; it’s chaotic but worth it for children’s books or cookbooks.

For vinyl lovers, Cheapo Records in Cambridge mixes LPs with vintage pulp paperbacks. I found a beat-up copy of 'Neuromancer' there that’s now my prized possession. Smaller sales fly under the radar: check bulletin boards at Pavement Coffeehouse or Diesel Café—locals post handwritten ads for estate sales with book hoards. Last fall, I hit a South End brownstone sale and left with 12 hardcovers for $20.

If you’re up for a drive, the Worcester Public Library does a mega-sale on Sundays with carts of freebies. Boston’s bookish underground thrives on word of mouth, so ask baristas or bookstore clerks—they always know secrets.

Boston’s used book scene is low-key thriving this weekend, and I’ve got the inside scoop. The Harvard Book Store’s warehouse in Somerville is running a clearance—think hardcovers for $3 and paperbacks for $1. Their fantasy section is stacked with well-loved copies of 'The Name of the Wind' and 'Good Omens'. Over in Jamaica Plain, the annual ‘Book Fort’ event turns a church basement into a treasure trove. Last year, I found a signed Margaret Atwood novel buried in a $2 bin.

If you prefer curated picks, Brookline Booksmith’s used section is staff-recommended and meticulously organized. They highlight local authors, so you might discover a debut novel before it blows up. For a wildcard experience, the Boston Athenæum occasionally opens its members-only sale to the public. I snagged an 1890s illustrated 'Alice in Wonderland' there once.

Don’t overlook thrift stores either. The Goodwill near Fenway has a surprisingly good turnover—last month, I grabbed a pristine copy of 'Circe' for $1.50. Pro tip: follow @BostonBookHunt on Twitter for real-time sale alerts. They once tweeted about a spontaneous sidewalk sale in Back Bay where someone dumped a box of Agatha Christie first editions.

I'm always on the lookout for used book sales in Boston, and this weekend seems promising. The Boston Public Library often hosts pop-up sales near Copley Square, with shelves packed with everything from vintage classics to contemporary bestsellers. Prices are usually under $5, and the selection changes hourly as people donate or swap books. I also heard rumors about a small indie bookstore in Cambridge clearing out old stock at half price. If you’re into niche genres, the Brattle Book Shop occasionally sets up outdoor stalls with rare finds. Checking local Facebook groups like 'Boston Book Lovers' might give last-minute updates.

For a more organized event, the Friends of the Library semi-annual sale might be happening—their website lists dates. I once scored a first edition of 'The Catcher in the Rye' there for $10. Garage sales in Beacon Hill are another hidden gem; residents often offload bookshelves when moving. Just walk around with coffee on Saturday mornings—you’ll spot cardboard signs.

“When done properly, this position can be most satisfying for a woman because it allows deep penetration." I open my mouth to respond, but all that comes out is a staggered breath and a small sigh. He chuckles, a low, rough rumble and then leans down and kisses the middle of my back. I feel the tip of him again at my entryway. He pushes in slightly, and my body comes to life again. My muscles react to his presence, contracting and loosening, as if my body is trying to suck him deep inside. He's my husband's boss, so this is supposed to be wrong. So why does it feel so right? *** Braxton Merriweather always gets what he wants. Now, he wants her--Julia Thompson, the wife of one of his workers. From the moment he first laid eyes on her, he knew he had to possess her in every way. When Jeff Thompson takes him up on the bargain he proposes, Braxton is shocked. He's even more surprised when Mrs. Thompson agrees. But now that he's had a taste of her, he wants more. How can he possess a woman who's already married to someone else? Julia feels trapped by her marriage to her high school sweetheart. In the two years since they've been married, he's changed, and not for the better.

"Let’s go on a proper date, with flowers and candles, his lips twitched in a cocky smile, he leaned in forward, inhaling my scent like a drug he was addicted to. “And then what?” I replied, quivering. His lips were too distracting as they stood dangerously close to mine. "We can pretend to get to know each other if you want. And after that, I can fuck you senseless." Looking up to meet his dark gaze. I swallowed hard, I had only two choices, but whichever I chose, I knew I was screwed. Zach always knew his mate was out there, but at 25, after searching every pack, he had nearly given up hope. Then came Nicole, on the run from a broken past, scarred by betrayal after a humiliating scandal with her crush who sinisterly released a sex tape of her that would haunt her for life. She’s sworn never to trust any man, but destiny had other plans. What happens when the one person you’re meant to love is the last person you think you can trust?

Where To Donate Used Books In Boston?

I’ve been donating books in Boston for years, and my go-to spot is the Boston Public Library. They accept donations at most branches, especially the central location in Copley Square. The library either adds them to their collection or sells them in book sales to fund programs. Another great option is 'More Than Words', a nonprofit bookstore run by youth. They take gently used books and use the proceeds to support at-risk teens. I also drop off books at local Little Free Libraries—there’s one near the South End and another in Cambridge. It’s a quick way to share books with the community without any hassle.

How To Sell Used Books In Boston For Cash?

my go-to spots are local used bookstores like 'Brattle Book Shop' in Downtown Crossing and 'Porter Square Books' in Cambridge. These places often buy books outright if they're in good condition and fit their inventory needs. I usually bring a box of books and let them pick what they want—payment is either cash or store credit. For higher-value titles, I check online platforms like eBay or Facebook Marketplace, where collectors might pay more. It’s important to research prices beforehand; some older editions or rare finds can surprise you with their worth. Avoid lugging around heavy boxes without calling ahead—some stores only buy on certain days or by appointment.

I also love Raven Used Books in Harvard Square—it’s cozy, well-organized, and has a great selection of secondhand gems. For a more eclectic vibe, Brookline Booksmith’s basement has a fantastic used section with rotating inventory. Don’t overlook local library sales either; the Boston Public Library hosts occasional book sales where you can snag hardcovers for a couple bucks. Thrift stores like Goodwill or Savers often have hidden book sections too, though it’s hit or miss.

Does Boston Have A Used Book Festival?

I stumbled upon this little gem last year while visiting Boston—the Boston Book Festival! It’s not exclusively for used books, but you’ll definitely find vendors and stalls selling secondhand treasures. The festival takes over Copley Square with a mix of author talks, workshops, and pop-up bookstores. I scored a first edition of 'The Catcher in the Rye' from a vintage dealer there, and the energy was just incredible. If you’re into used books, keep an eye out for smaller events like library sales or indie store pop-ups around the festival dates. Boston’s literary scene is vibrant, and the festival is a must-visit for book lovers.

Can I Trade Used Books In Boston For Store Credit?

I’ve been trading used books in Boston for years, and it’s one of my favorite ways to keep my bookshelf fresh without breaking the bank. Places like the Brattle Book Shop in Downtown Crossing offer store credit for used books in good condition, especially if they’re rare or in high demand. Harvard Book Store also has a great trade-in program, though they’re pickier about the genres they accept—literary fiction and non-fiction tend to get better value. Smaller shops like Brookline Booksmith or Porter Square Books are also worth checking out, though their credit rates can vary. I’ve found that bringing in a mix of recent bestsellers and classic titles works best. Just don’t expect to get full retail value; most stores offer around 20-30% of the original price in credit. It’s a fantastic way to recycle books you no longer need while discovering new treasures.
