So what, another bookstore in Harvard Square.
But wait!  This new "Buck-a-Book" has some pretty good stuff in it.
It's under the CVS on Mass Ave, next to Roka (which is 1001 Mass Ave).

It's big, not like some of these teeny useless outlet bookstores.  They
claim 100,000 books - I was surprised, having seen other such stores
with weak selections.  Most books are a buck, some are a bit more.  The
higher priced books seem to be 80% off - I bought a $35 hardcover for
$7 and a $20 one for $5.  Many of the $1 books are in the original
price range of $10-15.

I was apprehensive when I saw it, but I have a congenital case of
bookstore-suck syndrome, so I went in and came out with a bag full of
books.  If you like plowing through piles of remainders, check it out.
