There's nothing quite like browsing in an independent bookstore, where there is always a comfy chair and never a sense of urgency. Boston.com compiled this list of reader favorites across the Commonwealth, and there is truly something for everyone! We are partial to Porter Square Books, and not just because we helped the owners sell their gorgeous home in Cambridge. 😉 They also happen to host fabulous events, provide stellar recommendations, have an excellent selection of gifts, and house a charming café, where the Vietnamese spring rolls sell out every day.
