User Reviews for The Book Loft of German Village
01/07/2008 Posted by jvb1971
I’m a reader and this store is quite possibly what my heaven would look like. I love the fact that The Book Loft has really captured the mind of a “bookie.” The layout could be considered intimidating, but for me it was logical in the way that it’s how my mind works, one thing to another.
Pros: books books and more books
Cons: parking, it's German Village though.

There is no better way to spend a rainy afternoon than to meander down the booklined halls of this unique bookstore...You can browse for hours, completely forget what you cam in for, and go home with new books you never imagined owning. The prices are more than reasonable, the atmosphere in and around the bookloft is spectacular...You can grab a quick lunch at several area restaraunts, then lounge around the bookloft for a few hours...NEVER have I been bored. I pull up a stool, in some little nook, and read away...GREAT PLACE
Pros: Everything
Cons: If you are clausterphobic you wont like it

This bookstore is amazing and one of the only things I miss about living in Columbus. When I would meet friends someplace in college, we would often choose this as a place to meet and browse. When I needed a gift for someone special I would go here. When I had an hour to kill I would go to the Bookloft. And, best yet, when I needed any book--whether I had a particular title or was just browsing to see what to read next--this was the best place to look. The atmosphere is even better than the selection, though. With so many rooms you feel like you are truly an adventurer. Just walk through--you'll be amazed at what you find! Each room has music that fits its selection. And, when I was there it was an automatic 10% off every book.

I enjoy going down to German Village and visiting The Book Loft. It's one of my favorite ways to goof off. I always find something that I didn't know I needed. I'm glad they brought back the online ordering of books on their website. I can order from work and go pick my books when I don't have time to look around. Very helpful!
Pros: open late
Cons: sometimes parking

I think the real lure of Book Loft is the labyrinth of booklined rooms you traverse -- if it was in some big warehouse, it wouldn't have half the weird fairy-tale charm it does. Even for the remainder-skeptical crowd (of whom, yes, I am one), there's always some little treasure to draw you in here. You may emerge with a slightly guilty junkfood feeling that you've spent way too much time for too few treasures, but you'll come out with something, and while away quite some time in the process.
