A small, family-run bookshop

Boston Book World is a family-run bookseller on Boston’s North Shore. We buy and sell used, rare and collectible books, and we love finding them good homes.

Our shelves lean toward economics, especially Ludwig von Mises, F. A. Hayek and the Austrian school, along with Keynes and the classics. You’ll also find American history, signed and inscribed copies, angling and fishing books, and Judaica.

How we work

• We handle every book ourselves and check the edition and printing.
• We photograph the actual copy you’ll receive, including any signature or inscription.
• We describe condition honestly, flaws and all.
• We pack every order with care.

We sell through Biblio, AbeBooks and Amazon, so you get secure checkout and their buyer protections. If you’re looking for something in particular, or have a question about a book, we’d be glad to hear from you.
