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.



Victor Hugo closed years ago, and Quantum is no longer in the Cambridge location. Sad, they were some of my favorite book stores too.


Sadly, the Davis Square McIntyre & Moore closed recently.
