This place is fabulous! I had some old art books sent to me and didn’t know what to do with them. The owner of CB promptly responded to my messages and took the books off my hands. Absolutely loved the fact that I could get store credit for them! This shop has such a unique and beautiful selection of books and records. I plan to return for years to come. Excellent curated rare book selection is such a bonus. Please consider coming here over Amazon etc for your next read. Highly recommend!

One of the best bookshops in Columbus. I was impressed with the store's mix of new books and used titles - specifically in the literature/fiction section. Prices were reasonable even though the used books were often in fantastic condition and frequently were first editions or even signed by the author. Highly recommend giving this shop a visit!

The guy at the register was so nice and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help me choose the perfect book for the book club my friends and I are starting. It’s really nice to find a non-corporate bookstore where the people are obviously passionate about what they do. Glad we have another mom and pop shop in our neighborhood Highly recommend.

Nice book shop with lots of interesting options, specifically vintage books. Lots of new books as well. Cute kids area with an open space and a little train set table. No bathroom. * store says there is a bathroom in the back

Very nice bookshop. Could use more seating and more ac. I love the selection. The kids section is very cute. They have vintage books which is interesting. They are only open until 5 during the week this summer. Lots of interesting options. They opened Black Friday 2024. All sales are final. No bags provided for checkout.
