Book Loft of German Village

This place is so cool! As a reader, I'm always on the hunt for books so this place is a gem. There are 32 different rooms filled with all kind of books, puzzles, posters, games, and more.Thankfully, everything's sorted by genre and there are plenty of signs directing you around.I went on a Saturday, so it was packed, but I'd love to go again on a random weekday.

I've gone here several times and I love it. This store is truly a maze and if you are as bad at directions, as I am it is easy to get lost in this store (literally), but thankfully the staff have always been nice enough to tell me how to get out lol!I've gone here several times to show family and friends as well as to pick up a book for myself. I am part of a book club in my graduate school program and every time a staff member has been very kind to show me where I can find the book. Their selection is astounding, they have every genre of book you could imagine and I love how every room has a theme. It is fun to feel the vibe of each room when you are walking through the store, sometimes they have different ambient music depending on the room. Now the only reason I gave this review 4 instead of 5 stars is for the value. There's been several times where I purchase a book and then look online to see the same book cheaper. I love supporting local businesses, so this makes it worth it to me, but I can understand why some people would choose to buy their books else where. This book shop is definitely worth the visit for the experience, but don't expect to buy a book from here thinking you are getting the best deal.

This was my first time in the Book Loft, and as others wrote; overwhelming in an amazing way. This is a book lovers dream paradise that's for sure. The staff are easy to find when you have a question, which was amazing customer service in my opinion, along with eager to help. German Village, itself, as I drove to park my car, kind of takes you back to simpler times, with the cobblestone streets. The 32 rooms, honestly, felt like they were never ending, appreciated the layout and variety. Had an opportunity, here as well, to purchase Christmas presents, for my fellow book lover friends at a great value. If your searching for different, unique places to check out this will appear The Book Loft. Its easy to loose track of time, and get mesmerized in the value of this gem of an independent book store.

This store is an absolute delight! I had a gift card that I have been meaning to use and was finally able to take some time and give it the love it deserves. They have room after room of every book imaginable from self help to comics and I think I spent over an hour just enjoying looking at everything. They also have fun stickers , magnets, and gifts. There are bargains as well. The staff are super friendly and kind too! Love this place and will definitely be back!

This is a really cool spot. It does get crowded so be prepared for that! Some of the rooms are tiny and the rows can be narrow. I'm not sure I'd call most books being 5% off sticker price a "bargain" but it's great that there's such a large selection of books. The staff are helpful, they can look up if they have something specific in stock for you and will tell you where to find it.

When I lived in German Village, I didn't realize the treasure of The Book Loft in my own neighborhood. Now that I left Ohio, I have a greater appreciation for this great shop!They have a staggering selection of books, games, stickers, book marks, etc. I can ALWAYS find something that must go home with me.The staff is super helpful and friendly.Yes, it is a little cramped inside so do yourself a favor and avoid peak hours. If you have the pleasure of sharing the space with others you will hear fascinating conversations about books and might discover a new author.

Just drop me off and come back and get me in a few hours because 32 rooms of books?! There's so much to look through, and something for everyone. Located right next to Staufs, you can get a treat and start heading to the bookstore right next door. We walked over around 10:01 and they had a line to get in, granted the line moved fast as it was to pace people throughout so folks were on top of each other when they get inside. Once you walk in they have books on tables outside with deals, and best sellers when you walk in. We had so much fun going through the different rooms and seeing different genres. They have some hidden gems and autographed copies throughout the store. I had so much fun I forgot to take pictures! All in all, highly recommend making this a store when in the area! You'll never know what you'll find! :)

What a charming book store! We set out to explore German Village on Sunday but were only able to see this incredible gem! We spent over two hours+ walking from room to room. Reading a few covers and purchasing a few items!What a great experience and the prices are extremely reasonable!

It's mind blowing how many books are located in this place. Books on tables outside, upstairs, downstairs and in every nook and cranny of this place, including what appears to be broom closet sized areas too. Section 13. This is where my favorite books are located at in this house loft of books, the Classics. Many of the must read classics can be found here. Was it 38 rooms of books inside of this place, it's quite overwhelming. You need half day to a full day here.

Overwhelming in the best way.Room upon room upon room, filled to the brim with books. I lost track of time here, but I think we were here for a couple of hours. Great selection, great layout for the number of items here, and just a cool setup. I can't say I've ever been in a giant home-turned-bookstore to the scale of The Book Loft.Even if you're not a reader, this is such a cool spot -- and it will make you want to be one.
