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. Andrew Tannenbaum Interactive Cambridge, MA +1 617 661 7474
