Purchased one of my favorite books in my collection at this swanky little spot on high street! (Once upon A Time in Hollywood - book based on movie)Running around the city in search of used bookstores for art/design reference material and stumbled upon this gem and every time I stop in a find this place to a go to stop every time I'm in Columbus! Well priced Material and great staff depending on the day you go! All in all if you're a book nerd - this should be on your list of places to shop.

Prologue has quickly become my favorite bookshop in Columbus. It is a smaller shop, but I appreciate that - the books are curated so it makes it easier to discover new books while browsing. I have found so many interesting, new books based on the staff recommendations. They specialize in translated and international works as well as books on social issues. But if you are looking for a specific book, they are also able to order it for you. I also think they may have a wider selection than what is on the shelves because their website catalog lists many other books I haven't seen in the store - I will have to ask them next time I am in.They also have a limited selection of board/card games, stationery/notebooks, and gift items. They do lots of fun, community-building events like book clubs. I feel very lucky that Prologue is my neighborhood bookshop!

Prologue bookshop is a book store located in downtown Columbus Ohio short north district. While in town for my daughters cheer comp held down the street at the convention center me and my oldest daughter was exploring the area for public art and shopping. She had a Bridgerton book She was hoping to read so we stopped in. The store was very organized and clean and the workers were helpful. They did have the book she wanted in paperback and it was only $9 so we made the purchase and we left happy. Overall a good experience. Clean, organized, good service and they had what we was looking for.

It's so small! The selection is extremely limited. No used books. I liked the staff recommendations, but.... Half the books that there are staff descriptions for are not even on the shelf anymore, having been sold.... Finally, it's downtown, so you need to pay for parking, either in a garage or on the street online.There were some cute Japanese notebooks. A relatively large manga section if you're into that. Puzzles, tote bags, journals for gifts.

Excellent service, employee book reviews are a nice touch, and rewarding loyalty program. Great clearance deals. (Just got a book for $5!) Offers handy reusable shopping bags for purchase. Nice selection of journals, stationary, and assorted clothing, socks, stuffed animals, puzzles, and other gifts. Open late (ish!) Free bookmarks.

This independent book store is intimate and intentional. The staff recommendations are always fun to read, some witty, some beautiful, and some anywhere in between. They are small but have a solid, diverse selection of books and some cute book-related merch. Last time I came here, they had a section of pre-loved wrapped books at a discounted price. I love the "blind date with a book" concept and loved the book I got from it. Support your local book stores!

This small bookshop is packed with tons of high quality finds. I appreciate the fact they try and squeeze some chairs in here too. Each section of the store is marked clearly and well organized. The staff were friendly and I enjoyed the music they had on as well.

A charming little bookstore located on busy and fun High street. You'll definitely be surprised by how small and compact this shop is, but I'm sure you'd be able to find what you need here. They have lots of books, including a kids corner with all the latest children's books and even some plush toys. This would be a great spot to purchase a present or a book for yourself to read. They also sell greeting cards and post cards! I was just visiting town, and found the sweetest Columbus postcard for $4. This shop has a lot of character and I love the accent wall with books that you can decorate with dry erase markers. Shop local!

A nice bookshop in a cool part of town! There are plenty of restaurants around for anyone wanting to grab a bite to eat and a good book. I snagged a hardback young adult novel off Reese Witherspoons book club list for $6 so that kind of deal is hard to beat. Make sure to include this shop when looking for a bookstore in Columbus!

Cute little bookshop tucked away in short north. The place is small but the book selection is nice. They also have board games if you're looking for some! All in all it's a very charming store with a good catalog to choose from.
