“Amazing experience! Everyone was very friendly. Also they gave me a good deal on my sell. I would very much recommend. Rooms of games, CD's, DVD's, records and great service.”
“We came in to get a book for my daughter but it was not on the shelves. The girl who was working was incredibly friendly and ordered the book for us. And the price was great! Then we wandered to their coffee shop next door. The girls working were also extremely friendly and whipped up a mean hot chocolate! Fantastic place to buy a book and curl up with a warm drink next to their fireplace.”
“I LOVE The Bookery, and whether you're a local or someone visiting out of town, The Bookery is an absolute gem. The owners and staff alike are delightfully kind, super friendly, and will help you find any book. I'm also, as a mom of younger kids at the time of this review, absolutely in love with the kids nook that they have. My oldest loves to sit in the little cubby area or camp out at the kid table and quietly enjoy books which gives me time to peruse my own interests while keeping an eye on them - there's something and a place for everyone!
They have a really fantastic selection across all the genres and there has been several books that, even when they don't have them in stock, I can reach out to them in person, by phone, or by email and they will help me get what I'm looking for while making it a kind, warm experience. I also love seeing all that they do for the local community and area, and I have been a past participant in their awesome book club which is also great to join!
The world needs none of the giant corporate cash grab companies, and all of the incomparable treasure shops like The Bookery that are irreplaceable both in what they give and do, and how they treat people. Be sure to stop in, it's more than worth it!”
“This bookstore was referenced for the Cincy book crawl. I was captivated by the moment I walked in. The books they are curating speak to me. It doesn't feel like a collection of old books that they've been given or thrifted it feels so intentional the books they've chosen. I know they are just pandering to my soul with these books and you may walk in and have a completely different experience but I feel the intention and I'm here for it. I hope you give them a shot. I am going to have to unfollow them on Instagram because I keep seeing books I want and I have enough on my TBR for the next couple winters?”
“Amazing bookstore, very cute, clean, well-organized, and well-stocked. It’s especially nice that you can see if the book you want is in stock before you go. I’ll be buying all future books from here.”
“Absolutely kind and amazing service Mr.Jim is one of a kind and his book store is something I've never seen. This atmosphere is very majestic and a mystical feeling and just know when you meet Mr.Jim you'll be taken care of with care and appreciation. I will be returning with my family this time💫”
“Loved attending the Ally Authors of Faith Event with the author of A Kenotic Way of Contemplative Healing, Susan Carson, and The Congruent Life: Liberation, Healing, and the Future of Faith, C.E. Jarnagin. Great discussions, great books, and awesome new personal connections made!”
“I love half priced books, especially this location particular. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the prices of the books are a steal! I always love to go in and see what deals they may have. I recommend this store to all my family and friends.”
“I’ve wanted to check this place out for a while. Last time I had gone in was about 5-6 years ago with my Dad. They’ve really grown. The owner and employees are very kind, and took the time to just talk with us and tell us a little about what they had.”
“If you're a mtg fan, 40k, dnd or anything scifi and fantasy they'll probably have something for you.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere feels cozy and welcoming.
I'm a fan of magic the gathering, d&d, and anything fantasy/dark fantasy and grimdark scifi including 40k lore and this store has this content everywhere so i was happy, i highly recommend Cincy book rack and hero's hearth for all your literary and physical/tabletop gaming needs.”
“This place is absolutely lovely and i unfortunately forget the woman’s name who helped me but she was very sweet and kind. She helped me a lot that day not only living out a Bible that fits me but also understanding that it takes time to figure it out because I am on my journey of getting back to the word and going back to church. It’s been a few months since I’d been there but it’s just been on my mind that i should give this place a review and hopefully encourage someone else to do the same as i have and this is the place to go if you’re looking for a bible for you to understand Gods word and how to apply it to your everyday life. Have a blessed day 🙏”
“Great store and friendly staff. I like that it is not loaded with electronics and cheap toys from China. High quality toys and a staff willing to help you find that special toy.”
“Love this bookstore - favorite place to pick up a birthday gift for a child. They also have great stuffed animals. The staff are really friendly and have recommendations for readers of all interests. Be sure to go upstairs to the great green room - it’s a replica from the classic book Goodnight Moon.”
“Such a welcoming and caring environment as soon as I walked in we were greeted and they moved through a line quickly and efficiently! I was not fully sure what flavors I wanted in my latte and they gave great recommendations! Absolutely loved my experience and getting to wander around the bookshop side of things.”
“The book was better than described! Fast and prompt shipping coupled with ease of ordering makes my recommendation a no-brainer!Look forward to purchasing more books with this company in the future!”

“This coffee shop is also a store, and it's completely charming! Featuring books and local art, crafts, clothing, foods, it's super fun to explore. The atmosphere is cheerful and bright, with quiet mystery as you find the back rooms. Loved the collage workshop. I'll definitely be back.”
“Great Xavier swag and merchandise. My high school senior daughter wanted to buy everything because it wad all so cute. Prices are high like any other bookstore. Walked out with a cutoff sweatshirt to wear to the Xavier basketball game”
“It was great going back to the bookstore and getting some swag. I graduated in 1990 and promptly left Cincinnati. Just moved back after 30 years away. It was amazing being back on campus. The bookstore is very large, clean and lots of stuff. Purchase a new hat, car decal and some stickers.”
“Great college to find your passion as other students are seeking theirs--- Being a part of the on campus community breeds a strong culture of commitment & community & a real pursuit of-- "change your world life focus" It the right size..it's a place you won't get lost at! All for one, one for all Be a Musketeer, it will change your life !”
“Lots of great stuff but limited DAD merch for those of us paying the bills! Prices are a little high for general supplies. They'll also bait and switch you if you order used books. We ended up with new books which were way more expensive!”
“Love the people here, they are so sweet and helpful. I hate that the changing times are forcing them to close their physical stores because they are a big resource for people who aren’t financially secure but still want a college education without the ridiculous prices.”
