Rodney’s Bookstore

Rodney’s Bookstore is a used and rare bookshop in Harvard Square that bills itself as having the largest selection of used and remaindered books in Cambridge. Shelves cover every genre, from timeless classics to elusive first editions, and new titles arrive every week. Alongside books, the store sells vintage posters, art and other literary-inspired items, and its own motto sums up the mix as books, art and happiness.

The shop is named after owner Shaw Taylor’s dog, Rodney, and it has been a destination for readers, collectors and the simply curious for decades. Its selection changes constantly as books come and go. Beyond retail, it offers fine art and poster printing and sells quality pine shelving. People with books to part with can also sell them to the store, which lists book selling among its main services.
