Another Harvard Square bookstore bites the dust: Curious George to shut this month

When bookstores can't survive in Harvard Square? (Exceptions: Coop with its captive textbook audience and Harvard-labelled g-string sales and the Harvard Bookstore which paddles furiously against the stream with like-minded bibliophiles and luddites at the oars.)

But thank god the market can sustain two Tannery stores within a ball toss of one another!

How many are left now? Just want to have an idea how much it is dwindling down to now.

They were in Porter Square when they finally closed, but they started out in Harvard Square and later had a large store in Davis Square.

At their height, they had: WordsWorth Books in Brattle Square; WordsWorth Too (which later became Penguin Bookstore) down around Putnam Square; WordsWorth Abridged gift shop next to Nini's Corner; and Curious George Goes to WordsWorth (now just Curious George).

Starr Books (used, near the Lampoon building)

McIntyre & Moore (used - was in 2 different Harvard Sq locations before moving to Davis and then Porter)

Mandrake Books (emphasis on architecture & design) on Story Street

The Book Case (huge used book store on both sides of Church Street)

Barillari Books (ambitious competitor to WordsWorth next to post office on Mt Auburn St - now FedEx Kinko's)

Reading International (corner of Brattle and Church - now American Apparel. Was owned by Out-of-Town News and had a huge magazine selection)

Paperback Booksmith (on Brattle St opposite WordsWorth)

WordsWorth
WordsWorth Too (later Penguin Books)

The Map Store (in Brattle Theatre building - later merged with Globe Corner Books)

Harvard University Press Display Room (an actual bookstore, despite its name) - in Holyoke Center arcade
