Harvard Books Tour of Harvard Bookstores

Join Richard Henry Dana Jr. On a 50 minute stroll through HarvardSquare’s literary history and resident bookstores
About this Event

For 400 years, Harvard Square has been the epicenter of American literature, philosophy, publishing, and education. From the first printing press in British North America to our beloved bookstores today, the outstanding tradition of poetry and storytelling, from Anne Bradstreet to Allen Ginsberg, the Square has been home to all things book-related. Stroll between our current bookstore residents while hearing stories of the incredible literature that was written in and inspired by these streets. Richard Henry Dana Jr. (aka Daniel Berger-Jones) hosts these tours designed exclusively for the Bookish Ball.
