“Stopped in here while visiting family in Columbia. Such a cute bookstore! Gorgeous historic building; someone really had a vision when they saw this place and it came to life. Could have easily spent hours looking around, definitely worth the visit. And they had Steinbeck in stock- why is it so hard to find Steinbeck in stock these days?? 5/5, shop small bookstores!”

“Columbia Books is without a doubt the most bookstore(ish) bookstore in CoMo. There, you can find new releases and timeless treasures; you can enjoy friendly banter about your favorite book; and you can accept the love of the store's resident feline. Annette and Clayton are immensely knowledgeable and ready to help you find that perfect book.”

“You know the phrase, “don’t judge a book by its cover”? It applies here. The outside looks sketch. And while the inside is tight quarters it is quite fun to hunt. The folks that work in the shop are friendly too. Just make sure you check the hours before you go!”

“Obsessed with this fabulous shop! Love their mission, values, and commitment to peace, justice, and equity for all. It’s a fantastic place for a book lover: a great used book selection, frequent discounts, and their new books are very thoughtfully curated (if you want an insightful book about any kind of social justice topic, you’ll find it here.) I personally could have spent hours in their feminism and paganism sections alone! Books are just the tip of the ice berg, though, they have great tarot and oracle decks, note cards, journals, stickers and pins, teas and snacks, fair trade goodies, crystals and candles, and much more! All reasonably priced and high quality. The staff were very kind and helpful, and the whole shop is such a warm, loving space. A great mission and a great place to shop!”

“Very clean and always friendly staff to help. I can't go in without checking the front stands they put so much detail into the display arrangement! I love especially their Harry Potter corner and the classics table!!”

“This shop is heaven! Everyone working there is so kind, friendly, and helpful: you feel deeply welcome as soon as you set foot in the door. The store is a wonderful place to browse: it’s beautifully laid out, and everywhere you turn, there are more lovely treasures to look at. I bought a deck, crystals, incense, and candles, all stunning and very reasonably priced (and that was just scratching the surface!): they also have lovely books, jewelry, and so much more. Everything is clearly curated with a lot of love and care. I’ve officially added HBS to my all-time favorite metaphysical shops--if you’re in Columbia, it’s a must-see!”

“I was really impressed by the selection and how clean everything was. The lighting fit the rest of the campus perfectly, the place felt well run, and the people working there seemed like they actually enjoyed being there.”
