Dave Harpur, our GM, welcomes you!

Come join us at the newest Borders store in Boston, located in historic Back Bay. With convenient entrances on both Boylston Street and Newbury Street, at the corner of Clarendon Street, we are in the heart of Boston's premier shopping and entertainment district.

You may want to browse for hours through our complete selection of books, music, popular and independent DVDs, and magazines. Or if you prefer, just relax over coffee, sandwiches, and dessert at our Seattle's Best Coffee cafe on the second floor. Here you can enjoy the view through our windows which overlook historic Trinity Church and Copley Plaza.

A wide selection of local interest books, maps, and postcards provides one stop shopping for visitors to our area. And our Paperchase gifts and stationary shop has unique and fun greeting cards, gift wrapping supplies, journals, picture frames, photo albums and more.  

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is always ready to assist you here at Borders Back Bay, Boston. Stop by and say hello!
