Booking in Boston redline12.jpg (19565 bytes)
and Massachusetts...
brought to you by Joslin Hall Rare Books

Boston is a great Book Town!  Whether you are looking for old books, used books, or scarce and rare books, we have many fine dealers.  The Boston Metro area (Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and surrounding towns) is relatively small and easy to get around, and we have a very good public transporation system.   Outer suburbs are served by a network of roadways which will quickly get you just about anywhere you need to go (except maybe to the Cape summer Friday afternoons!)
