Harvard Book Store is a unique and special place to shop—a locally owned, independently run Cambridge landmark since 1932. It is known for its extraordinary selection of new, used, and remainders, a popular author event series, and a history of innovation—including local bike delivery and a book-making robot (capable of printing and binding any of millions of titles in minutes). On their website, customers can browse the shelves, staff recommendations, and the author events calendar.
This bookstore-bar-venue is the result of ten years of friendship between two Spanish civil engineers, Javier García del Moral and Paco Vique. They always wished for a space that could mix two of their passions: books and booze. After a lot of enthusiastic talk over the years, they were able to make that conversation actually happen and so The Wild Detectives opened its doors for the first time on the last day of February 2014.
Since then they have programmed over three hundred literary/cultural events and sold–arguably–as many books as beers.
Founded in 1959 by Moe Moskowitz and his wife, Barbara, Moe’s Books has become a beloved Berkeley institution and an emblem of the Beatnik era.
