“This is such a fantastic bookstore! It has a really inviting atmosphere with lots of fantastic finds with books new, old, and rare. You can definitely tell they curate the books and care about what they offer.”
“Prologue Bookshop in the Short North Arts District of Columbus, Ohio is one of my favorite independent bookstores in the city. It’s a beautifully curated local bookshop with a thoughtful selection of new releases, literary fiction, nonfiction, and staff picks. I actually prefer it over larger bookstores like The Book Loft. While The Book Loft is a destination in itself, Prologue’s edited, well-chosen selection feels much more manageable and less overwhelming, which makes browsing such a joy.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help you find your next great read. They host select author events and book clubs throughout the year, and they’re moving just a bit farther south on High Street soon, which is exciting to see as they continue to grow. If you’re looking for a cozy, curated indie bookstore in the Short North or Columbus area, Prologue Bookshop is absolutely worth visiting.”
“I grew up going to the original Cover to Cover across from Clinton Elementary, then watched as it grew through the years. I don’t have kids, so I don’t have occasion to stop by very often, but we love going every year on Independent Bookstore Day to see what’s new! The current Upper Arlington space is lovely- cozy and inviting with an excellent assortment for kids of all ages and helpful staff who can assist even the most clueless adults with selecting the perfect gift.”
“They now have books other than their own imprint’s offerings, which has broadened the selection considerably. Not that they didn’t already have great titles, but it’s nice to have an excuse to browse more often!”
“Great place for kids educational toys, and books of course. ?❤️ This location is one of my favorites! The people who work here are super friendly and helpful. Great selection of unique covers for classic books and newer ones too.”
“The cafe one of my favorite places to come study and the bookstore itself is lovely. The only complaint I have is regarding the Cafe staff. The vast majority of people who come to the Cafe come to study individually and it is generally a quiet space, but the Cafe staff can be very loud and disruptive at times. If there is more than one person working behind the Cafe counter they are usually loudly complaining and swearing, and it makes it challenging to focus without headphones.”
“Obviously more expensive than going to a department store, but its very helpful if you can use financial aid to pay for items. They're informed and can help locate items for each class (books, necessary supplies, etc.)”
“Pricing, selection, service, & online access like none other. Awesome business model.
-Must be a pretty good company (?) amid a faceless corporatocracy of brands.”
“This new location is much better than the original. It seems bigger, and it seems to have more books and other items than the original location. It is also very clean”
“One of my favorite chains of stores! I love just going in and wandering. I'm always sure to find more than I need 😁 I love the options other than just books... games, movies, music, etc.”

“Wow.
This is the best collection of metaphysical books I have ever seen! They have so many great titles - and are very kind and helpful. Excited to return when I have lots of time to explore more”
“Great selection of books and educational toys for kids. Love Barnes and Noble!! The Cafe is large and has good seating and food/ beverage options. Definitely a good place to find a gift and spend the day.”
“Great selection of something for everyone. As much for the school groups as the upscale home. Cute t-shirts and sweatshirts, books, toys, glassware, political gifts, and Ohio made wines and other goods. Customer service is amazing.”

“A very different type of book store, which is great! If you are a person who enjoys browsing old books (the old book smell is imaculate), this is the store for you! Karen is wonderful and also has great stories to share. Keep in mind, they do not accept card, so be sure to bring cash! (But she will hold books for you if you need to come back to pay)”

“We visited in July of 2023. This place is now selling all kinds of Islamic items. They have a variety of hijabs, abayas, for children and women. They have thobes and all kinds of men clothing. They also have prayer rugs, perfumes, shoes, etc. This plane remind me of the former Global Mall because there were more than one shop or boutique by different vendors and owners.”
“This was a really cool bookstore. I explored it as a new student and really enjoyed the variety they offered as well as the price. For a college bookstore, it offered everything a student could need and want.”

“Checked out the store for the first time this week with my brothers and could not have been more happy with the experience. The staff greeted me with great joy and answered all of my questions with ease. I look forward to visiting the store again in the future.”
“I had a great experience with this book store the man behind the counter whom was also the owner was very patient and knowledgeable about every subject I had questions about this store is a deep well of information and empowerment for the black man and woman not to mention the work they do in Ohio and beyond”

“Excellent atmosphere with a large variety of books. Things are organized and maps are available to help you from getting lost. If you go in the heart of summer you may want to be mindful that is hard to cool a building that size. They do have periodic fans placed throughout to help.”
