What Boston-area bookstore do you think has the best science-fiction section?

Yes, yes, I know about Pandemonium.

Unfortunately, Pandemonium is the only real response I have. Its science fiction section is, unsurprisingly, significantly larger than anywhere else I have been.

Consequently, despite my deep loyalty to Your Move Games, I go to Pandemonium for all my sci-fi/fantasy shopping, and then go to Your Move for all my gaming shopping.

New or used?

Preferably new--I find used bookstores overwhelming. But if you know of a well-organized one, I'd be very happy to know about it.

Both the Harvard Bookstore in Harvard Square and Rodney's in Central Square have good used SF book sections. (I've been to Rodney's several times, but it wasn't until just now that I discovered they have a second floor)

I don't know anything about this book store, but there's used bookstore opening in West Roxbury on April 30th. Their spam said they're specializing in SF, fantasy, and horror.

Rodney's! I've never checked them out.

I find Harvard's selection good, but limited.

Unless Rodney's has changed their layout (it's been a while since I've been there) the problem with going to Rodney's is that the SF books are in the back corner, so you have to walk past all of the other interesting books they have for sale.

They're not a book dealer, they're a book pusher. They also sell book shelves.

I've been pleased with the Bryn Mawr on Huron.
