Opposite Harvard Yard, at the hub of the Boston/Cambridge university community, Harvard Book Store has been a gathering place and booklover's resource for information, self-discovery and entertainment for over 60 years: Welcome!

Hot off the Press My Russian Love  proves that a tiny novel can pack a huge emotional impact, and She's Come Undone  shows how a far-from-tiny heroine can touch our hearts even as she finds her own strength. Jeanette Winterson's Art Objects  collects ten essays to probe the inner life of art and literature - and hence, of ourselves. Writers' Recommendations Harvard Book Store welcomes Constance Buchanan, author of Choosing to Lead,  to our group of recommenders. Ms. Buchanan will also be appearing at the Harvard Book Store in February for a reading and booksigning. Keep up with the Ivy League America's new fascination with literary movies continues to keep The English Patient in our top paperback spot, joined now by Henry James' Portrait of a Lady.  Judging by the speed with which it is being snapped up, The Norton Anthology of African-American Literature has definitely filled a void.
