“The Bafflers have, in their writing styles, the buoyancy of Mencken, but in substance, they’re in the tradition of the old-time muckrakers, those who challenged the power pillars of our society. I’ve a hunch that Lincoln Steffens, Upton Sinclair, and I. F. Stone would have approved.” —Studs Terkel
Walking from the Harvard Square T station: 2 minutes

While we can't guarantee fulfillment of a signed book pre-order, our authors are almost always able to sign extra books to fulfill such orders.

FAQ:
Can I request a personalized inscription?
We are happy to take requests for the author to sign your book to a specific person, but we can't guarantee it. If you do get a personalized inscription, the book will be non-returnable. We will require credit card information when you place the order.
Do signed books cost more?
There is no extra fee for a signed book!
Do I have to pick it up in the store, or can you deliver my signed book?
As with all web or phone orders, we can hold your book for in-store pickup, or ship it anywhere in the country.
I am planning to attend an author event. Do I need to pre-order a book?
No need. We'll be selling books at the event, and nearly all of our events include a signing at the end of the talk.
