Hi Marc,

You might try _The Burning Bush_ in Westboro.  It's in WestMeadow PLaza at the 
intersection of routes 9 and 135, Nestled in between a bank and a shoe store, 
I think.  I know they carry at least a few versions, and are very helpful in 
locating or ordering what they don't have in stock.

PEace,

Jim

    Marc,
    
    _Logos_ in the center of Framingham is also a very good place for 
    Christian books and music, though it is located a bit further away 
    from you.

    I am pretty sure that I have seen some other published NRSV Bibles in
    the Religion section of one or two general purpose bookstores, but I am
    afraid I can't be specific.  However, I can say that I picked up a copy
    of the new Oxford publication of the NRSV at Waldenbooks in the
    Greendale Mall (in Worcestor, MA), so they might have some other NRSV
    Bibles there as well.  Another possibility might be the Little
    Professor bookstore in Shrewsbury.

    Thanks for the info on the NRSV. I have an inexpensive copy of the NSRV
    from the Burning Bush Store( Very helpful people...like Jim said). I'm
    looking for another copy...larger print with a leather cover for my
    wife.  
    
    The NIV version is available everywhere in every style you would
    want.  
    
    I'll check out the other locations.

    Boucher's Religious Gifts, on Lake Ave in Worcester can order anything 
    you want and have an enormous supply of material in their store as
    well.

    The Revised Standard Version is pretty standard and it is what most
    secular bookstores carry (outside of the King James).
    
    re .2
    
    Logos in downtown Framingham went out of business a while ago.  I sure
    do miss it!  :-)
    
    A couple of other sources (perhaps too far for the base noter, but of
    interest to other noters):
    
    Christian Book and Supply - 2 locations - Acton and Burlington (MA)
    	
    	* Acton - 481 Great Road - (508) 263-4061
    	  Rt. 2A between routes 27 and 495 - from the intersection
    	  27 and 2A, head toward Littleton.  Pass condominiums and a couple
    	  small plazas - Christian Book and Supply is on the right at the
    	  end of a 4-store, 2-story building.  If you get as far as Nagog,
    	  you've gone too far!  (nice lunchtime visit from
          Stow/Maynard/Acton facilities!)
    
    	* Burlington - 120 Cambridge St. - (508) 272-6969
    	  Can someone help out with directions?  I've been there, but can't 
     	  remember route numbers, etc.  !!
    
    Whittemores' - 3 Wexford St., Needham - (617) 449-1500
    	  
    	  Route 135 exit towards Newton off Route 128.
    	  Take the first left (it looks like it is going into an industrial 
    	  park - I guess maybe it is!) - self-serve gas station on one 
          corner - Whittemore's is the first building on the right.  Lots 
     	  of Sunday School materials and Bible Study Guides as well as 
     	  music, general Christian reading and gift/jewelry.  (Just down
    	  the road in Newton is the New England Mobile Book Fair, a huge
    	  warehouse of books, hardcopy and paperback, sorted by publisher,
    	  as well as several rooms of remainders at great prices.  Their 
    	  "Religious" remainders area has lots of goodies!  There is also
    	  an aisle of reference books with Bibles and other books at one
    	  end.)
    
    Divinitas - 5 Magazine St., Cambridge - (617) 354-1114
    	  
    	  Divinitas is also the bookstore for the Episcopal Divinity
    	  School, so they have many scholarly works (heavy in feminist
    	  theology, liberation theology, gay and lesbian issues, etc.)
    	  Divinitas is located in the First Baptist Church in Central 
    	  Square.  If you take the T (Red Line, Central Square stop - and 
    	  you really should, since parking is *severely* limited), you 
    	  will see the big brick church at the intersection of Western Ave, 
    	  Magazine St., Mass Ave and Prospect St.  Entrance is on Magazine
    	  St.
    
    Enjoy!
      
    	    

    re .6
    
    Logos went out of business?!  That's where I picked up all
    my "Weston Priory" and "Praise Strings" albums.  Bummer!

    RE:283
    
    If your looking for a remarkable source for books, especially Bibles,
    I've used only one place for several years --Cumberland Valley Bible
    Book Service, PO Box 613, Carlisle PA 17013
    
    Tel. - 717-249-0231     Fred Huebner
    
    They are very knowledgable, will mail a catalog for free and will order
    anything. Specializes in Evangelical/Reformed/Puritan and hard to find
    books with a great stock of Bibles.
    
    The best part is, that most books and especially Bibles are sold at
    cost. Whatever he pays from the publisher is what you pay with only
    shipping and tax. 
    
    Example: My hard to find Newberry Reference Bible, KJV, wide margin,
    genuine leather cost me $85.00 10yrs. ago from my local bookstore.
    5 yrs. later I ordered an identical one for a friend having now become
    aquainted w/CVBBS.  Cost w/shipping -$38.00. Checking back with a
    Christian Bookstore owner friend of mine, I was told that my ORGINAL
    purchase was in fact discounted from standard mark-up, and that the new
    purchase was below his cost. 
    
    Hope you find what you're looking for.
