The Coop and the MIT Press Bookstore
Amy Brand
To The Faculty Newsletter:
I greatly appreciated Ruth Perry’s piece on changes at the MIT Coop and the sidelining of books (“A Bookstore Without Books,” MIT Faculty Newsletter, Vol. XXXII No. 2). And it made me think Professor Perry and other faculty would be pleased to know the MIT Press Bookstore – temporarily on Mass. Ave since the construction in Kendall Square began – is returning to its Kendall roots in mid-2020 and relocating to the lower level of 314 Main Street.
Although we don’t function as the Institute’s designated textbook fulfillment service, we are an expertly curated bookstore that sells textbooks in addition to academic and general audience books, from several leading publishers across a range of fields. Thankfully, the Coop is not MIT’s only campus bookstore. I welcome any and all input on how the new MIT Press Bookstore can best serve the Institute community.
