Can't overstate the wow factor of this place! I couldn't begin to estimate how many used books they have on their four floors. They have a lot of the classics and to-be-expected fiction, as well as a robust nonfiction section (history, religion, cookbooks, etc). They also have a collection of historical maps in great condition.

First time visiting and definitely returning! The book selection is unreal and the whole place feels like something out of a movie. Employees were really helpful and knowledgeable; I even got a book and bookmark for free as part of my pickup order! Can’t recommend this place enough!!!

Nostalgic. By far this is one of the Best Locally owned bookstores in Cincinnati. Inside there are Multiple floors with a mountain of books to choose from. This place is for Book lovers and the likes. It's wonderful seeing a bookstore of this caliber functioning fully, serving the community, preserving books, and history. The experience was lovely -loved it. Paid parking nearby. Parking rates begin around $5.

Really nice bookstore. It was fun to just wander around and look at everything. The gentleman that works there was were kind. He gave alil info on the store and even gave me a few places to check out while I was in town. I appreciated the recommendations and really enjoyed chatting him up about Stevie Nicks.😊 Check this place out. Good books. Good people.

This is a nice book store close to downtown and had plenty of parking close by to choose from. They had a large selection of books and magazines both old and new. There appeared to be a rather large selection of Ohio history books. As well as some first editions and what appeared to me to be some obscure older books. So if you are looking for something specific give them a call or stop in and see if they have the old book you have been looking for.

This store was incredible and I wish I had more time to explore it before my flight home but I’m so happy that I stopped by. I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were three floors of books, plus a basement with more books and a bookbinding area. They had some very unique collections that I haven’t seen in other used bookstores. I found a book of Shakespeare’s plays for young readers from 1883! Cannot wait for my next visit!

We felt welcomed as soon as we stepped in. The owners were right there kindly guiding us and offering us their help. We browsed around and find the bookshelves well organized. We were amazed by the selection of books, encyclopedias, magazines, comic books and vintage postcards.

The Ohio Bookstore is an absolute treasure trove! Spanning multiple floors, this Cincinnati landmark offers a truly incredible selection, from rare editions to contemporary gems. I loved getting lost among the towering shelves—the atmosphere is rich with the smell of old paper and history. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about books. Plus, their bookbinding and restoration services are a unique, fantastic touch. If you love books, you must visit this cultural icon!
