One of the few things I miss about the Cambridge area is the quality and variety of the bookstores. I recommend MacIntyre and Moore for technical used books; Quantuum and SoftPro for new stuff; and Victor Hugo books on Newbury St. for more general stuff.
While looking for links, I discovered that Victor Hugo books and SoftPro are probably gone now. As I look at the shelf of books I choose to place within arm reach of where I code, probably half came from SoftPro and a goodly armful from Victor Hugo.
If the internet didn't offer a way to buy used editions from anywhere in the nation, I'd have to make a yearly pilgrimage back to Cambridge with a buying list. Thank god for that.
