MIT Press Bookstore
Some books here are somewhat academic in nature; however, many are written to appeal to a wider audience, and there is a dedicated children's section. Don't skip it! You can find some really fantastic literature here relating to technology, the future, and how humans will adapt to it all. The MIT Coop is also at Kendall station.
