Wonderful assortment of books and very nice staff! Today reading one of the books from there, I found tucked between the pages a receipt for a cafe in Paris! My book has traveled and I love the romance of this π I cherish the days I drop off books to donate and bring home more than I dropped off!
I liked this bookstore. Great interior, quite an interesting assortment, there are different genres. I recommend you go, you will find something interesting for yourself.
MTW was very prompt and sweet with my ordering experience. They initially sent the wrong book, but an hour after bringing it to their attention, they emailed back and said they would be expediting the correct book for me! And I did not even have to return the original book. What great customer service.
Always bring my books here or in Boston. They support high school age kids who need mentorship to give students direction, self esteem and a sense of purpose. Great opportunity!
Great little bookstore! Friendly staff, nice selection, cozy atmosphere. Love the chairs they have in the middle if you want to sit down and read for a bit. They have a nice kids and young adults section too! Overall I enjoyed my visit.
Great little store front. Lots of fun used, great condition books. They are happy to find you a book if its not on the shelves.
Great selection. Fair prices. Have found some real gems here. The monthly open mic mix is a lot of fun with some good performers.
I stumbled across the location in Bostons south end (e. Berkeley street) and have been hooked ever since. I also have made many friends tag along to this book store. They have the best deals around for used books, they keep the inventory fresh and turned over frequently and a good selection of DVDs. The staff is always personable and I am impressed with how up to date their technology is. Check them out and watch out for sales and special events they have every couple of weeks.
Really cool place with a great mission. Didnt even know the books were used until a staff told me. Spent a few hours reading for graduate school and having a coffee. Serve Starbucks coffee so you know what youre getting. They dont have a ton of workspace (3 small two-person tables, 6 lounge chairs, and some stools at a narrow bar up front) but it was enough and not much competition for space during a rainy Monday early afternoon. Really friendly staff (Alisa) too. Definitely plan to visit this place frequently.
Fantastic used bookstore that also serves the communitys at-risk youth. The book collection there is carefully curated, which results in a great selection. If youre looking for suggestions, the staff is super helpful.I came in to find some books to stock my Little Free Library, and I had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Alisa. She personally helped my husband and I choose a ton of books for our neighbors to enjoy. Her specialty is childrens books, though - she has a masters in childrens literature. As she helped us stock up on books for younger readers, I pulled her aside and asked if she could specifically suggest some kids books that featured empowered girls and minorities, she just smiled and said that she had already been doing so.Awesome.
The company has very good intentions of trying to help youth between the ages of 16 and 21 years old, who are in the system, homeless, or just need a job. I love how they are there teaching the youth about different parts of a job, the data and sales they bring in, and just the driffrent parts of a business and how its run. I love how the books are all donated from people and how the business just runs off of donations people give. The cafΓ© is a wonderful place, the food is tasty and the drinks are absolutely fabulous. I love the place.
I loved this store. Staff so helpful. Warm and relaxed atmosphere.
Great values on books. Wide variety and terrific service. I recommend them highly.
I just went there today, the Waltham location. Childrens books are $1 each. They have a site on Amazon. They dont open on Mondays. The Felton Street is one-way. Park on the street. I think its nice because its run by young people.
More Than Words, Inc is a wonderful non-profit organization that mentors and trains adolescents to work, while simultaneously offering them resume writing courses and work-readiness seminars.What is most important is the respect and high standards that youth are held to by the staff to progress through the program, as they work in the book donation warehouse in Waltham and the two More Than Words Book Stores in Waltham and Boston.It is my hope to pursuade the founder to open a branch in Worcester County.An exemplary non-profit!
Great resource online and even better if you live locally!
The bookstore and cafe are great for a couple reasons: good prices, nice atmosphere, and the business is run by youth who really care about their work and do an excellent job. I highly recommend MTW.
I ordered a book, paid the extra money for the express 2 day shipping, and just got told that it wont be shipped for another week. So, tomorrow, I will show up to my Kindergarten classroom empty handed. Thank you for the disappointment of 18 five year olds, More Than Words. I want my money back.
Books for endangered species who can still read and have attention span of more than a few seconds :)
