As an avid fan of Harvard Bookstore, I can say you're 100% right.
They also host philosophical society there on a quasi-weekly basis, and great people show up for quality discussion. The last time I went was for the machine intelligence chat, and who did I see across from me? Richard Stallman, ready to share his take on AI.
Harvard Bookstore is quality, that's why they're thriving.
(One more tip, they don't carry technical books, which are the ever-changing ones that I would normally order on Amazon. Good move on their part.)
