Gramercy Books Bexley

I'm a sucker for hardcopies. I actually want to hold the book I'm reading in my hand. No kindle for me. While I should probably get a library card, when it comes to books by my favorite authors, I prefer to add them to my bookshelf permanently. I've known about this book store for a while, but I'm never in the area and I have another one a block away from where I live. That being said, I was nearby, and wanted a coffee so I swung through Kitties. That's when I realized Gramercy Books was connected by a shared wall. I love it!I browsed around, fell deep into their nice selection of plant focused books, then hunted out my favorite authors because I've been in need of a great book that I know I'll love right off the bat. That's when Kurt Vonnegut and Malcolm Gladwell come into play. Lucky for me I hadn't come across Malcolm's newest book yet and they had it. That was a must, as I have almost every other book he's written. I go back and forth on Vonnegut, non-fiction is an awesome way to escape. Being that he's from the midwest (Indy to be exact), a lot of his writings are based in the area which is fun. I was directed to the section he was in by a wonderfully helpful staff member. They had several of his writings I don't already have so I swiped one of those up too.If you're like me and prefer the OG way of diving into a good book, this book store is a lovely choice. It's definitely a locally owned one that's worth the drive.

My favorite bookstore in the Columbus area. Wonderful selection and the staff are so nice.

My friend and I took a day trip to Columbus to check out bookstores and this was our first stop. It is a picturesque indie bookstore and I loved it. I was surprised to see they offer some books at a discount, which was a nice bonus. We didn't go to the cafe, but there is one attached. They also have a large, awesome section of childrens books with a lot of matching stuffed animals. Overall a lovely bookshop.

Any book store with a KNOWLEDGABLE staff of pleasant bookkeepers is a key attribute I look for when looking "local", and Gramercy Book Store is a perfect fit to the neighborhood! I much prefer chatting with the staff for their personal recommendations on books. Here, I was able to mention the general genres I like, and the two ladies were more than happy to recommend. Sure, I can spend hours of happiness looking thru stacks on stacks of books, in search of the golden ticket, or I can go straight to the best source, and get their take. After narrowing down their recommendations for books that touch on worldly culture, travel, and socio-economical societies around the world, I settled on Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. I always get giddy when I come across any locally owned, independent book store, as the workers always have a unique perspective on the world and all the books out their (unlike the boring B&N, where everything they know is based ONLY on what can be found via their website). I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous that Bexley has their own quaint bookstore. But, it's in such a cute neighborhood town setting, which makes Gramercy so appealing! I highly recommend a stop to peruse the shelf's if you haven't already.

Cute little bookstore right next to Kittie's!My friends and I browsed a bit in here after drinking coffee next door. It's attached and you can walk right in through.We didn't buy anything, but enjoyed looking at which books were on display and the journals.Not sure how prices are like in here, because I didn't make a purchase. They do have bathrooms in here if the caffeine from next door is ready to get out of your system.

Owner Linda and her staff really have it going and moving in the right direction. I have shopped this well curated bookstore in the past and always found books of interest and a willing staff to direct me in the right direction. Tonight I went to an event promoting a new book that was supported by a great group of musicians; a great compliment to the book that was highlighted. Bexley, and Columbus, are lucky to have this dedicated bunch of book lovers. Check it out when you are in Bexley. Attached to a great coffee and pastry shoppe.

Thank you, Jayme, for the suggestion to check this place out prior to an event. I'm glad I arrived early and walked the few blocks to this locally-owned bookstore. I don't buy new books often (I'm a library gal), but was happy to find two books I wanted to read and will take with me on vacation soon. When I checked out, I was offered their rewards program. You can give your phone # at the register when making a purchase. Also, I am now on the mailing list for store events. I was happy to spend a few minutes here and I liked their book displays. I was greeted right away, and was left alone to browse. I like Bexley, and now have another good reason to come back.

Great bookstore located downtown Bexley off Main next to Kittie's Cake. What brought me here was my friend and author who raved about this bookstore.I checked it out many times with my friends but today I really just felt like getting something because they had so many cool things besides just books. I got a cute notepad to write important tasks down for each day of the week, or more like honey you need to do this notepad.I also got a cute pair of soft socks for $10. Each socks have a theme like Muggles like good books or women are rock stars. I liked the theme of the socks so I got a pair.I will need to come back soon since I truly like to support local book stores. I need a good book for my upcoming vacation in August. Any recommendations are highly appreciated! Anyways back to the store, if you like supporting local book stores this is your place and has great books and items inside.

This is one of my favorite shops to browse for books. The staff suggestions can't be beat. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I've ordered numerous books from Gramercy and used their convenient curbside pickup service. It's quick, convenient, and a great way to show our love to one of the BEST independent bookstores in Columbus.

Super cute shop! I've been wanting to check out Gramercy for awhile and finally got the chance today. Great layout, selection, and cute little details throughout the shop. Also a very friendly but non intrusive staff.Can't wait to go back!
