Lorem Ipsum Books is an independent seller of used, new, and remaindered books in Cambridge's Inman Square. The store's motto is "Useful Books from Inman to the Internet." Lorem Ipsum Books was named after the Lorem Ipsum placeholder text. It opened in February 2004 on 157 Hampshire Street by MIT Media Lab graduate Matt Mankins, who believed that independent stores should embrace the Internet as a sales partner, rather than competitor. Mankins believed that bookstores needed to do two things if they were to remain viable: sell globally and price with market intelligence and not "rules of thumb". In 2010, upon its sixth anniversary, Lorem Ipsum Books relocated to its new home, 1299 Cambridge Street. Events Lorem Ipsum Books has hosted several Indie rock acts in conjunction with the Cambridge music series known as the Critique of Pure Reason. In recent years this has included Patrick Wolf, John Vanderslice, Woelv, and Soltero. Awards * 2005 Boston Phoenix Award for "Best Place to Help a Bookstore Save The World" See Also
