Relatively new to the used-books trade, Longfellow’s still a pretty obvious choice: sell them a couple old tomes and you’ve got enough scratch for something from their locally-unparalleled magazine selection. As for the new stuff, no one does better than these guys in championing both local writers and burgeoning national talents, and the consummately knowledgeable staff’s always got a helpful opinion.
