Porter Square Books is a (fiercely) independent, full-service bookstore established by a group of experienced, dedicated booksellers. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive selection of diverse titles in a welcoming environment.

This is where we post pictures from events at the store.

We love to read, so stop in and talk books with us! Come see why Frommer's Boston 2008 says "If [independent bookstores] were all run as well as this one, with staffs this helpful and selections this brain-tickling, the species would be anything but endangered." While you're here get an excellent cup of Equal Exchange coffee or tea (and a tasty goody or two) at Cafe Zing right in the store, and browse while you sip.
