From the 1963 opening of the George Sherman
Union until the 1983 debut of the BU Bookstore
Mall, students could buy their textbooks in the
basement of the GSU. The old bookstore was located
in the northwest corner of the Union, where the
Student Center Lounge is today. As this 1964
photograph shows, the shop carried a variety of
items other than books, including -- wedged above
the Jewelry, Pens, Gifts display -- busts of
Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart. Boston
