As a Boston area native and a person who worked for a year in the bookshop in
question, I can assure you it exists!

They deal only in foreign language books, and mostly import stuff from all over the
world (and they can be rather pricey, for exactly that reason).
They will also special order anything that's in print, and they ship worldwide.
My favorite bookshop in the whole world :-)

PS One warning, if you go to their website: they're a small, independent
operation with a small server, so the site's rather slow, especially when
you're searching for something. Your patience will usually be rewarded, though.
