Barrow Book Store

What a special place! I've walked by it over the years, but this was the year I went inside. So glad I did! Great selection of books, cards and gifts. Friendly and welcoming staff - we were offered tea! Beautiful music playing. Comfy atmosphere - we weren't rushed. Will be going back for sure. Highly recommended.

"Magical" truly is the best word to describe this place. From the charming exterior to the cozy nooks inside, everything feels like a treasure waiting to be...

Our experience at Barrow Books could not have been more appreciated. This rare and gently used bookstore is a real find. The owners are genuine book people and treat each customer as a new member of their family. Jamie was eager to assist in every way she could and even searched on-line for additional titles we were in search of. She represents Concord, and the literary giants to whom Concord was home, with the care and joy they deserve. Thank you, Jamie!

This was one of our favorite places that we visited while at Concord. We were looking for a more antique copy of little women after visiting Louisa May...

Speaking with Jamie at Barrow Books absolutely made my day. I had just come from Orchard House, and she heard me talking about the tour and asked if I was an Alcott fan, totally surprising me by allowing me to hold a first edition copy of Little Women and a printing plate of an illustration done by May Alcott. She was so kind and knowledgeable and also showed me some other notable editions the store has. This was the cherry on top of the most perfect long weekend - thank you Jamie! I will never forget this and I look forward to returning the next time I visit Concord!

What an extremely special bookstore. Truly unique used and antique books with a kind and knowledgeable staff & beautiful local gift options as well. This place will make you smile!

This little bookshop is a hidden gem. It has a wonderful collection of rare books. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. If you are a book lover, you must visit this store. I've been to many, many bookstores (my son is a collector of rare books) and this store is one of the best.

Hidden gem for book collectors. Kinda hidden but sometimes that's where the coolest things hide

Nice bookstore! Used to buy lots of books. Visit here a lot to browse and occasionally buy.

This was the cutest and best bookstore in Concord. The staff were incredibly helpful, even beyond finding books, and gave us a free map of the area along with some recommendations for where to go in town! There are modern, used editions of all sorts of texts as well as some rare and even first editions or many books from authors from the area. The children’s section was particularly good. Loved it!!

Oasis in the midst of the madding crowd, which crowd knoweth itself not as such. Hardy (sic) thanks.

Sweet like book store with quality used books, including some literary treasures!

Have I ever found a more peaceful, sweet, and substantial bookstore nestled into a side street in a beloved historical town? I can't say I have. I first visited this bookstore in a light spring rain after visiting some authors' homes and wandering contentedly down cobblestoned streets, and it was the perfect and most precious surprise. The sign that reads "welcome dear readers!" made my sentimental heart glow. I cannot recommend this place more. Update Feb. 2022: this perfect place plays literary soundtracks as you browse. It's just the place you'd find Jo March lounging in a corner amid her favorites.

I love Barrow Book Store. I've found quite a few unusual suprises in there with hard to find or out of print books. My favorite thing to do in town other...

Great little store! We had a lovely time looking around and speaking with the owner. Definitely the place to go for used books in the area - I hope to pop...

I had visited concord few times, but never noticed there's a book store here! Such a amazing and lovely place! Can find lots of treasure! It's very cozy to stay with friendly staff :)

While visiting Minuteman Park in August 2021, we stopped for lunch in Concord and wandered a bit around the shops. We found this charming shop just off the Main Street. I was in my glory. I purchased a “gently read” contemporary novel. Then I noticed some author post cards and I mentioned to the lovely lady who works there that I was a teacher and planned to send them to my teacher friends and she gave me a complimentary Louisa May Alcott tea towel (she admitted that there were tiny imperfections, but that didn’t bother me). She then noticed my Celtic cross and told me to see a large cross at the cemetery, which we were planning to visit. She gave directions how to easily locate “Author’s Ridge.” Later, when I was home, I purchased another tea towel and had it sent to my friend, who has it hanging in her classroom. I’m happy to have supported a local business while on vacation. If you’re in Concord, be sure to stop by and visit Barrow Bookstore.

They were recommended to me by another bookstore in their town. I, a total stranger in another state, got such amazing help from them... I cannot express how humbled their kindness left me. I needed to get some books to my friend in their local hospital. They helped with suggestions and also recommended another local shop for a shawl and socks It.

Wonderful store! Great prices, excellent selection and really kindles your reading habits! I recently purchased a full version of a book I read as a kid!

Wonderful store with reasonable prices, a friendly staff, and a great ambiance. Paper receipts and paper bags make it so cool!

Fantastic book store. We were thrilled with the staff member's recommendations for my young, avid reader.

Fantastic shop with great selection, reasonable prices, and very friendly staff. Also, the music playing in the background is tastefully selected!

Small but well-chosen selection. Fair prices. Helpful, knowledgeable staff.

I pop in here at least once a week. Small, quaint, cozy. Always greeted in a manner that makes you feel right at home. A large selection of fiction (my favorite) and others such as Art, History(including local, New England), Poetry and more. Love it here

This is a lovely used book store that has lots of books about Concord & Lexington for history buffs. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable. If they don't...

I loved my browsing time this morning and my chat with the clerk. Wonderful place!
