If you’ve been into the Papercuts bookstore it’s very possible you’ve seen Sammy the dog. Sadly, Sammy passed away last week.
Two cars came crashing through Papercuts’ storefront on Wednesday, but that’s not stopping our local and beloved bookstore from celebrating Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday.
Powell’s Books. The Strand. City Lights. Papercuts JP.
Our neighborhood’s own bookstore, all 500 square feet of it, was profiled by Literary Hub for its “Interview with a Bookstore” series. The piece on Papercuts JP appeared Monday in The Guardian, which is arguably among the best news outlets in the world.
Opened a year ago at 5 Green St., Papercuts JP was prominently displayed Saturday at the seventh annual Boston Book Festival held at Copley Square and adjacent venues. Working in collaboration with Harvard Book Store, Papercuts JP was one of seven metropolitan-area independent booksellers at the Book Festival. Boston proper has only two independent book sellers focusing on new books: Trident on Newbury Street and Papercuts JP.
Nothing is more heavenly than the scent of freshly baked pastries and books. Both uplift the soul at the end of Green Street where next door to each other are Blue Frog Bakery and Papercuts JP, Jamaica Plain’s newest indie bookstore.
