“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I loved it here! Half Price Books are always great stores and this one is no exception. It's thin, but long so it's a bit of a walk from one side of the store to the other, but the categories are set up well to fit it. One cashier was rather rude, but another cashier heard about it and made sure we were okay. Overall great experience.”

“I've loved half priced books since I was young in California, but moved to a city without one forgetting completely about this shop. But when we moved to Columbus and stopped by one, all the memories of the California location came flooding back! This location is fantastic with amazing staff who are friendly and helpful! Can't recommend stopping by enough! No matter if you're into books, or comics, or movies or shows!”

“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.”

“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.”
