Downtown Crossing Specialty Stores in Boston

There is a diverse selection of retail stores in Downtown Crossing. The most notable is Macy's Department Store; however, the area is also home to several discount stores, including DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, HomeGoods, and Marshalls.

All My Sons suggests you stop at the infamous Brattle Book Shop. Established in 1825, it is one of America's oldest and largest used antique book stores. The currency proprietor is Kenneth Gloss. He appraises books and libraries for Harvard, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, Simmons, Suffolk, Tufts, Babson, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and the FBI. He also was the past president of American's New England Chapter of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association.

If you are looking to sell your rare books, give Brattle Book Shop a call. Brattle Book specializes in complete appraisal services for estate, tax, and donation purposes. They will travel to you to purchase books from large estates and will even buy single volumes. If you prefer, you can take a clear photo, write a description, add your contact information, and email this to the shop. They are not interested in Reader's Digest condensed books, textbooks, romance novels, books with missing covers, highlighting or notes (unless from someone conspicuous), water-damaged, moldy, missing pages, new books, or encyclopedias after 1911. With this in mind, however, if you think you may have something special, Brattle Book will gladly evaluate the value based on the condition, scarcity, demand, and rarity of the book.

Another unique service Brattle Book offers is decorating private shelves. If you are looking to create your own library but are unsure what to buy, Brattle Book has a wide selection to make your vision a reality. They offer leather, cloth, and decorative bindings, in addition to general hardcovers, bargain books, Franklin & Easton, and oversized art books.
