    Not a fan of their hours but so happy to have finally made it here! This place definitely qualifies…read moreas a hidden gem or a less-traveled CLE shop. I could easily spend hours here, and did, last Sunday! What gorgeous decor, layout, vibes and selection they have! Workers were really friendly as well. The prices of books were high though--no discount at all for new books. Fine to support local but this is why the library will still always be my favorite. What I was confused about is how the books are organized because it is not by author nor by used/new. I'm pretty sure new books were placed right next to pre-owned ones on the same shelf... I did enjoy all the gift and merchandise displays. They were all set up in a way that looked irresistible to buy! My BF bought this photography coffee table book he was really excited about and I got a children's novel illustrated by Jon Klassen (big fans!).

    Whether you are a book lover or not, there's something for everyone in this wonderful place. Today…read morewas my first time stopping in, and I enjoyed myself so much looking around at all of the books, trinkets and little doodads. The people working there were very knowledgeable and friendly. The book collection alone is incredible. There is multiple room rooms and the sanctuary holds very old and important books and is definitely interesting to look around in. They also have a cute gift shop that has very cool gifts and handmade items as well. Totally a great find if you are looking for something fun to do, or just looking for a few books.

    Well all good things must come to end on Euclid Avenue! I have loved walking past the store front…read morewindows, all the glossy covers beckoning you to add to your ever growing book collection. The staff was always so friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately Clevo Books will close its doors at the end of the month with 60% off all inventory when paying in cash.

    STORE CLOSING (at the end of June 2026) - 60% off liquidation sale when you pay with cash…read more HISTORY -- Clevo Books is a specialized bookstore that deals with translated works. Books written in other languages and translated to English are found here. They also have foreign books in the original language. This is a very unique bookstore with the only one of its kind in Cleveland. To find foreign language books translated to English can be difficult so we are lucky to have this bookstore in Cleveland for 4 years now. You can find books from the following languages - French, Spanish, German, Italian, Fulani (from the country Guinea-Bissau in West Africa), Russian, etc. OWNER -- The owner, Cathryn, has translated writings from German to English so she has a passion for translated books. In mid-June 2026, I found out that Clevo Books bookstore will CLOSE on Sunday, 28 June 2026, so I had to stop in to visit. I had been meaning to visit but with the downtown location, it wasn't convenient due to parking. I'm glad that I finally visited. PARKING - Free street parking is hard to find so I suggest parking at the PNC Center Garage which is only $4 all day (on weekends and $4 after 4pm or so during the week). SERVICE/AMBIANCE -- Wonderful and welcoming service. I visited on Saturday evening, 20 June 2026. There is a seating area at the back of the bookstore which is lovely. Upon arriving, I was greeted by an employee, Marc. He spoke to me about the books available. We had a lovely conversation about how he met the owner, his German/French background, and his passion for books/book curator. His French friend who happened to be in the store helped me pick out some French books to buy that wouldn't be too hard to read as I am not a fluent French speaker. BOOKS I GOT -- I left with buying 7 books, including 3 French books plus 4 translated books. I even got lucky to buy a book that the owner herself translated from German. The book is called "Giving Back" by Andrea Von Treuenfeld. I came looking for the famous Russian Crime and Punishment book but they had sold out. I did leave being happy with my purchase especially getting 60% off each book. The 3 French books that I bought were from the Foreign books shelf - the deal is buy 3 books for $10 or $5 each which is a great deal. So, the 3 French books that I got were already on a sale (no 60% off for those). WHY THEY ARE CLOSING -- Message from the owners on their website: "After four wonderful years downtown, we are closing our physical storefront at the end of June to transition into an online-only bookstore. We are incredibly proud of the beautiful space we built together, but high retail overhead means we must turn the page to a more sustainable digital future. Come visit us, grab your favorite titles before they are gone, and help us close this chapter with a bang. Thank you for your support!" -- Cathryn and Marc Overall, I had a lovely experience at Clevo Books and I'm glad that I got to visit before they close. It's unfortunate that they were not getting enough foot traffic to stay open. I think if they were at a different location besides downtown, they would have thrived. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 140/250 total reviews in 2026 - 981 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 24 June 2026
