Cover to Cover Books

Finally a used book store with used book store prices! Descent selection. Spent 20 dollars and walked out with 15 books. Worth a stop.

Baby K loooooved this. She's been before with Sweetie, but it was my first visit. Cool space, lots of interesting books, friendly staff who remembered her and helped her out. Decent prices. Parking right out front. Well worth a detour from anyplace in town.

Cover to Cover Books is now open for in-person shopping, up to 18 people with masks. You can also order online and do pick up, in store or curbside, if you prefer. The store is really cute - very friendly and inviting for children. All the walls are covered in books and other fun things to draw the eyes - there's a gorgeous gallery wall in the back, over some nice seating. The restroom is also located in the back, and it is also very nicely decorated and clean. There's a cool little niche for the young adult books, giving the older readers a bit of space for themselves to explore and relax in. On my most recent visit, I had placed an online order and went in for pick up. They maintained excellent communication about order status via email. We had the store to ourselves, so we opted to pop in and do a little browsing while there, and ended up with a neat new find. They have some great new books in and a nice display about moms up. There is some parking available in front of the store, and the staff is friendly and helpful.For your kiddos - let them know they can look for the cute little mice homes inside of the store!

This is one of the best small bookstores I've ever been to. Mostly children's books with a young adult section. I swear the staff knows every book in their inventory and will find you EXACTLY what your looking for if you ask them. I called and wanted 5-6 VERY specific books for a teacher relative's classroom. They described to me at least 10 and then ordered them for me. These people know their business and are more than willing to help find you what you want.

Went in 8/29/2021. The ladies were very personable. They came over and talked to us personally, they asked about our children and about what they like, they made recommendations of books they might like based on ones we told them that they liked already. It was a very good experience. They even encouraged us to bring our kids back to do a book reading that they were hosting. I really like that part of our experience.I think the only downside about the store is you can tell that they're quite progressive as far as political views go, based on all of the books they put out. I feel like that would be a bit heavy for a bookstore focused on very young kids like I have. Overall I think the store is pretty great.

This is a cool little store in central Upper Arlington, in the somewhat scenic stretch of Tudor restoration buildings down Arlington Ave, that specializes in children's book. You know book right? They are that antique bundle of bound papers that tells stories, jokes, receipts, how too, or educational information-- like you have on your dumb phone or Ipad. No they don't have Youtube videos on them; you read them, like this on Yelp. (well until the day they have us record our reviews.) Physical books are important for children; getting the young ones, who seem to jump out of the womb prewired for wire, away from electronics for a few hours will soon be released as an advantage. Children books are the most creative of all lit when you consider cover, pages, pop-outs, art, and writing. The multi textual and tactile media of books stimulate more neurons than the mere flashing pixels on sapphire glass. Cover to Cover has all types of children books. Big pages story tellers to smaller readable tales. The store itself is laid out as a children's bedroom and playroom, a design that is a nice touch, making it a place children would love. There are nice parking spaces out front.

This children's bookstore is a perfect fit for the neighborhood. The staff is welcoming, and has gone out of their way on each of my multiple visits with my children to make them feel comfortable. They've even quickly recommended books following brief chats with the kids. There is a nice seating area that's great for just hanging out with your kids. I adore this new iteration of the shop, and hope it's wildly successful.

This local book store caters to kids? Awesomsauce!! Since the onslaught of electronics over the past 15 years, and the addition of e-libraries, the good 'ol hard back book has, one can only assume, taken a hit for team Defunked. Not only does this brick-and-mortar keep the dream alive, it's doing it through the hearts and eyes of KIDS! Yep, Cover to Cover caters to all ages, newborn to teen/young adult. Fantasy, sci fi, informational/learning. My 9 year old niece likes to read, so we stopped in on Small Business Saturday to get her a few reads for Christmas. The lady (owner?) greeted us as we entered, but never came out from behind the counter. In her defense, I think she was working on logging new books into the system. We did the usual rummaging thru, mostly zoned in on the Goosebumps/Judy Moody/Amelia Bedelia series. I was happy with the quality and quantity of the different genres. And, most importantly, I was happy to support the local economy!!

I love visiting this adorable bookstore. Located in the cute and quaint UA Mallway shops, it holds a wonderful selection of children's books and incredibly helpful staff that will help you find the best books for your (or others) littles. This is my go-to spot for kiddo birthday gifts and they will even wrap your books for you! I recommend them to everyone.

Wow! This place is exceptional! I wish I started taking my kids there when they were younger. The person working there couldn't have been nicer and was so helpful in finding my son a book at his reading level that he was excited about.
