Reminder for those of you who occasionally visit Harvard Square:

The Harvard Coop is not an indie bookstore.  It's a Barnes and Noble. 

Going there is like going to any other large Barnes and Noble in any other city, just with more Harvard shot glasses.  So if you're doing the tourist thing and want to go somewhere new and different, don't go there.

Also, it's evil.

If you're looking for children's books, go to The Monkey.  If you're looking for grown-up books, remainders or used books (my personal favorite), go to The Harvard Bookstore.
