Harvard Book Store

Please plan for your arrival. If you arrive more than 10 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, we reserve the right to cancel your appointment. Buybacks are by appointment only; we can't do walk-ins. Books must be in good condition. They should not have notes, highlighting or underlining, and pages must be securely bound into the book.

We've partnered with Libro.fm to make it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through our bookstore. Browse the catalog of over 185,000 audiobooks, including New York Times best sellers, and discover hidden gems curated by our expert booksellers. We believe you should listen to audiobooks in a way that works for you.

In early 2010 Harvard Book Store employees worked together to come up with a list of our favorite books. Each staff member submitted a list of their favorite books of all time, in (rough) order of preference. Their selections were then weighted according to the order and the results were tabulated.

Both in-store and by phone at Harvard Book Store and online at harvard.com (but not with third-party partners). Gift codes can be emailed directly to their recipient (or emailed to you, for you to forward along at the appropriate moment for the occasion!) Learn more at our Gift Code FAQ. If you have more than one gift card, you can enter up to two gift card numbers, separated by a comma and no spaces.

On the subway (the "T"), take the Red Line to the Harvard stop, or take one of the buses that come to the Square. To get to the store from the Harvard Square T station: As you exit the station, reverse your direction and walk east along Mass. Ave. in front of the Cambridge Savings Bank. Cross Dunster Street and proceed along Mass.
