Best of Boston

A combination bookstore, music store, and cafe, Borders Books and Music has a huge selection of art books, ranging from classics like Picasso, Homer and O’Keeffe to Pop Art and Andy Warhol. Borders also offers sketchbooks, how-to books on drawing, painting, and photography, and a wide selection on subjects such as art history, architecture, graphic design, and printmaking. Best of all—comfy chairs for readers to sit in as they pore over the glossy pages.
