Back Pages Books opened in 2005 on Moody Street, Waltham's vibrant "restaurant row". Back Pages has followed a path of using a small space to promote big ideas through a mixture of new and used books, author events, civic activism, and advocacy for the arts in Waltham. In 2007, Back Pages relocated to the Lincoln Building which previously housed the original Jordan's Furniture store.
The unique collaboration between independent artists at Lincoln Studios, art galleries, BU CDIA, and the bookstore has contributed to Back Pages' rising name as a preeminent literary destination in the Boston area. Hailed as the "Best of the New" for bookstores by the Boston Globe in 2005, Back Pages has hosted over 250 author events in four years. Past speakers include Pulitzer Prize winners Samantha Power, Franz Wright, Amy Dockser Marcus, and Junot Diaz as well as Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, acclaimed activists Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, and novelists Ha Jin and Andre Dubus III.
Back Pages has also been a principal supporter of young international writers including Thomas Glave, Helen Oyeyemi, and Edmundo Paz Soldan.
