Right around the corner from Emerson is Brattle Book Shop, also known as paradise. The shop has an impressive collection of out-of-print and first edition novels as well as an outdoor sale lot.

I’ve had this hat for as long as I can remember. It used to belong to a distant relative, and I believe it was custom made at a hat shop. It’s been in my family’s costume collection for ages and I stumbled across it the other day. Well, I couldn’t let a perfectly good fedora…Read More
