McIntyre & Moore Booksellers, whose wunderkammer of used books was recently exiled from Davis Square (and long ago displaced from Harvard Square), reopened today in Porter Square, at 1971 Mass. Ave., Cambridge. (They're in good company here: Bob Slate—purveyor of fountain pens and rampant Moleskinery—and Stellabella Toys are right upstairs.)

They describe their stock as "uncommon titles in interesting subject areas, usually in fields in which it's very hard to be gainfully employed"—or, in a word, "sexy." Books they're willing to traffic in could be about archaeology or physics or "blacksmithing or zookeeping or flyfishing" or classical languages ("Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Aramaic... the deader the language, or the closer to death, like Welsh, the better"). Sometimes we walk in and smell that somebody just sold them some Indian literature.

The books are still getting unpacked and shelved, but McIntyre & Moore is open for business and delightful (if not yet alphabetical) browsing. This Bostonist can't wait to see the typography section reemerge from those boxes.
