The Book Loft of German Village is pretty cool! I thought they had a good selection. They had queer…read morebooks, books by different authors of color, and books with disabled protagonists. If you struggle with mobility such as climbing steps and navigating uneven sidewalks, crowded, and/or tight spaces, this bookstore might not be accessible to you. If you are plus sized, you might struggle to navigate this place as well. There was a teeny tiny bathroom on the bottom floor. You have to get the key (with a map to find the bathroom, connected to a large block of wood so it doesn't get lost,) from a cashier near the entrance. The bathroom didn't look the best but it did the job.

Some great discounts, too. The one drawback is that it's really tight in spots; I had to move out of the way in a book to let people pass while I browsed a few times. Would definitely return if we're back in Columbus.

While I should probably get a library card, when it comes to books by my favorite authors, I prefer to add them to my bookshelf permanently. I've known about this book store for a while, but I'm never in the area and I have another one a block away from where I live. That being said, I was nearby, and wanted a coffee so I swung through Kitties. That's when I realized Gramercy Books was connected by a shared wall. I love it! I browsed around, fell deep into their nice selection of plant focused books, then hunted out my favorite authors because I've been in need of a great book that I know I'll love right off the bat. That's when Kurt Vonnegut and Malcolm Gladwell come into play. Lucky for me I hadn't come across Malcolm's newest book yet and they had it. That was a must, as I have almost every other book he's written. I go back and forth on Vonnegut, non-fiction is an awesome way to escape. Being that he's from the midwest (Indy to be exact), a lot of his writings are based in the area which is fun. I was directed to the section he was in by a wonderfully helpful staff member. They had several of his writings I don't already have so I swiped one of those up too. If you're like me and prefer the OG way of diving into a good book, this book store is a lovely choice. It's definitely a locally owned one that's worth the drive.

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.

My dad was very happy when we were moving them to Florida to be able to unload books and have them valued. Yes, you're not going to get much back, but it's something and during a difficult time that was nice. (He mostly used the Westerville location. But we have been known to hit every location when we visit!)
