Don't expect to get a lot but it's better than nothing. Parking was a bit tricky for this location. The parking garage is free, just make sure you don't park in the reserved spots.

My books were all in great condition, no damage, underlining, wear, ect and had multiple books that retail for over $30 and was offered $6. When I asked which titles they wanted to buy they said the offer was for all including the couple they would send to the warehouse and if I wanted to take any back the offer would decrease. I could sell each book for $2 and make substantially more. I went to a different local bookstore and sold the books for $35 cash instead and a higher offer for in store credit. Shop and sell local friends!

I can't recommend the Book Loft enough. It's a real treat to be able to experience this store. I…read moredefinitely looked lost when I was browsing and a kind employee offered to help me find the book I was looking for. The prices here are very fair when it comes to buying a new book. 10/10

The Book Loft is worth a visit. They truly have an enormous inventory of books. The staff provides…read morea map to navigate the building. The gardens outside were well kept and provided a beautiful area before entering the building. The rooms are small and passing others could be tricky. I did have to step aside more than once going up the stairs and going down a hallway. One woman had her dog in the store. The dog was clearly fearful of the tight space and all the people. The store was busy on a Saturday morning. Parking is on the street. German Village can get busy so it is likely you will have to walk. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you are a book lover you could spend an entire afternoon browsing.

Lots of pastries and sandwiches to pick from. Many small tables to sit at. Great parking. The book store has many books, magazines, puzzles, educational items, cards, and toys. Nothing is cheap.

I was in the store for about 45 minutes, and during that time I heard her managing both the front and back of the store with genuine care and a smile. I also watched her assist a repeat customer who was a bit challenging and she handled it with patience, respect, and warmth the entire time. I often stop in here while waiting for printing at Staples next door. The book prices are a bit higher than places like Target, Amazon, or Walmart, however this store is consistently well organized and clean. They always have popular bestsellers and book club picks displayed right when you walk in. As an avid Booktok reader, I really appreciate this. The Last Chance section and the reader knick-knacks by the register are always fun to browse and are usually a great value.

Returned today and the dude with an attitude was working and he was extremely condescending and mean spirited at the thought of be bringing my bike inside. I asked if it was against the cafe's policy and he said it was just 'common sense.' Whether or not the cafe has an official position on bringing your own bike inside is not the picture i'm painting, I'm just really disturbed by the condescending attitude and self righteousness for wanting to bring my own bike inside for safe keeping. I was honestly shocked by the treatment. Incidentally, the guy has an accent and long hair.

Takes up two storefronts, so it's decent sized inside for an older building along High. Lots of subjects, artfully arranged. A nice kids' area on one side.

Nice addition to the neighborhood.

What was once a local company with a…read morelocal presence, that had its thumbs on the needs and wants of its customers--Buckeye fans--and its knees deep in the culture, is now render little more than a glorified Foot Locker. At lost is sufficient service and unique inventory not found anywhere else. Hunting for a gift I found the selection to be everyday. For the general needs of fans, or anyone else that like Ohio State stuff it will do. Shirts, sweaters, jerseys, sweats, shorts, cute women's wear are plentiful, but nothing special that you can't find in town at JC Pennies, Macy's, a mall hole-in-the-wall, Wal Mart, Kroger's, Drug Mart, a gas station, flea markets, garage sales, and fencers working Pearl Alley, your mom's hand-me-downs, you get the picture. I mean thay have LOTS of that generic stuff. If you want a decent scarlet tee with the Block O stitched on it and don't want to shop around this is your place. But it lacks special items that says you didn't phone in Christmas shopping. (Oh gees you found a Ohio State shirt in Columbus, how did you ever do it!) There was no monogramed items, or cool designs, or novelties. Also I feel the fun of this store has drained away with the control of a giant corps. It just has less a festive feel and more a Foot Locker one. In short, it has lots of Buckeye stuff, just not much cool unique things.

I've seen people sit and study upstairs. It's a nice view! Textbooks are up there as well as school supplies. Bottom floor is mostly apparel and actual OSU stuff. You can find jerseys, magnets, toys, key chains, Christmas ornaments, leggings, Nike gear, hats, gloves, planners, etc. I walked in hoping to buy a magnet but was enticed to buy a new dri fit shirt. Consumerism is hard not to fight. There's a "Starbucks" in here which probably doesn't take the Starbucks app, but cool to know you can get a snack. My only complaint is how expensive Barnes and Noble is. Campuses bookstores in general are way too overpriced. I come on occasion but only for discounted items. I did enjoy seeing that they had OSU Shirts that were in different languages! Very cool!
