Best Way For A Bookworm To Simultaneously Buy Local And Save The Environment
Harvard Book Store
So you just saw Revolutionary Road and now you want to read the book. You could shell out $4 or so in T fare to get to the nearest bookstore and back. You could be an asshole and drive over. Or you could call HARVARD BOOK STORE and have them bike the book to you. The store, in conjunction with METRO PEDAL POWER — which operates via emissions-free vehicles — is now offering same-day/next-day delivery to Cambridge and parts of Somerville and Allston for $5 (the surrounding Boston area will have to wait one-to-three business days for orders). The service is offered six days a week, with a $1 charge for each additional book ordered. So, that's one or two measly bucks more than the cost of a subway ride and you're helping support two excellent local businesses as well as the environment? We feel greener already.HARVARD BOOK STORE | 1256 Mass Ave, Harvard Square, Cambridge | 617.661.1515 | greendelivery@harvard.com | harvard.com
