The Bookshelf is a hometown staple. I have been going here 35+ years. If they don't have the book…read moreyou're looking for in New or Used they will order it for you. They can even help track down some out of stock books. This was a sad year with the original owner Chris passing but it is still going strong. Mary and Rahe do a great job with customers and making suggestions. Don't hesitate to ask if you're overwhelmed by the small town independent set up, the ladies can absolutely point you in the right direction. Prices are great and they buy books as well and give great store credit.

This is an amazing little store stacked to the brim with every kind of book you can imagine!!! Rows…read moreand rows of books!!! Shelves to the ceiling!!! It is truly a reader's paradise!! They have new and used books!! They buy books for credit in the store! Staff has always been so very friendly!!! Absolutely love this place!!!

I was charmed by this bookstore and regret that I didn't have more time to spend here. But I plan…read moreto be back very soon and give myself at least an hour. The decor is old school and soothing and the different genres are marked on the outside of the shelves. I was disappointed to not see a dedicated area for horror/weird fiction. I enquired about Lovecraft and the very helpful male staff member told me nothing was in at the moment. He directed me to fantasy/science fiction and I did find a book to my liking. He also found me a small collection of Poe which I also secured for my library. I was also advised that I can let them know of books or authors that I'm seeking and they would let me know if anything comes in. The store is big so I know there is much more for me to explore next visit and they have several cozy sitting areas where you can just read, or have a cup of tea as well. I am looking forward to visiting again soon and updating.

Charming, unique, hometown bookstore. When you walk in the door, you feel like they definitely have…read morean affinity for, and stock, the classics. As you meander through the maze of shelving, you find every genre you could want, from mystery and fantasy to travel and politics to children and YA. They even have a hidden Harry Potter room under the stairs and a Sherlock Holmes reading room in the back. What a great place. The owners are accommodating, friendly, and smart, and the books are always priced at a bargain. Must visit!

My kids and I love going to The Bookshelf for all our literary needs. The kids could browse the…read morebook selection for hours if I let them! This adorable store has a great selection of books and any book can be ordered online or in-store for pickup. All the ladies who work there are friendly and knowledgeable. I've been trying to reduce my Amazon shopping, and getting all my books through The Bookshelf is a perfect first step! Shop local!! My daughter's review: l love how they always seem to have everything l am looking for. I don't know what I would do without the Bookshelf. I love all the books that they have and always find a new book to read. With the Bookstore l never run out of books to read.

Lol, only allowed one pack of Pokémon cards? Seriously. I…read moreget the scraper nonsense. It makes me mad as well. But ONE PACK. Yeah, no thanks.

Such a neat spot!!…read more It was hard for my mom and I not to spend hours and hours here. The only reason we didn't was because I was wearing my baby and he was starting to meltdown for nap time. The selection is great. And the organization is honestly amazing for a used bookstore. I love pretty close, so this is a dangerous discovery. Can't get over the prices! My only qualms with the store come from the service; the woman checking us out was wildly unfriendly.

This is quite and eclectic shop! They have aisles and aisles of books. We mostly shopped in the…read morechildren's section this time and left with some great books for my kids at a super reasonable price. All of the books we got were in great shape (though you should definitely look through them before you buy), and even the children's section was organized. I would definitely go back again to look through more options for myself as well. It's also great to know you are supporting your local library programs!

This is such a large and well-stocked book store. There set up is great.

My best friend was intrigued to visit Duttenhofer's so we decided to make a day trip to Cincinnati…read more Street parking and meter available but we opted for a nearby parking garage with reasonable rates. This bookstore has a wonderful vibe and its shelves are stocked. Some signs will steer you to categories but also look for small taped notes on the shelves, which breaks down the topic more granular. While some are organized alphabetically, other shelves will contain specific authors or series. My best friend was wowed by the drama and plays available. He also noted that several books he'd not been able to find anywhere were all here! I loved the vintage sections, especially children's books. Prices are written in pencil on the back cover and in some people have written inscriptions on the front cover. A book chosen for a specific someone. If you're a book lover make time to visit and slowly walk each shelf. Duttenhofer's is specific about their book genres, cutting out some you may be looking for, but overall it's a great experience to find something you didn't know you needed.

Duttenhofer's made me sad...not because its a sad place...but because we do not have book stores…read morelike this in Indianapolis where I reside. I remember as a child visiting a bookstore similar to this near my home. It was owned by an older couple and the concept was similar, you can buy old books as well as sell books to them to be sold. For my daughter, this bookstore was magical. She loves books, especially old books. There were so many treasures found at Duttenhofers from a Jamaican Cookbook, to an old Indianapolis travel guide from 1956 describing all the old buildings and its history in downtown Indianapolis....how cool is that!!! They also carried some first edition copies of books. The store is divided by subjects and its clearly marked. Its not new, so its not like walking into a Barnes and Nobles, its almost like walking into a treasure chest flea market, you just never know what you will find.

Their lattes were absolutely delightful, and the boujee in me loved that they were served on these gorgeous artisan pottery mugs, just adding to all the cozy feels. If you're here for books, don't be disappointed by the selection in the front, keep going to the back of the store where you'll be greeted with many more used books. The service was also excellent. Will return!
