What a treasure!!! We felt welcomed as soon as we stepped in. The owners were right there kindly guiding us and offering us their help. We browsed around and find the bookshelves well organized. We were amazed by the selection of books, encyclopedias, magazines, comic books and vintage postcards. We loved this bookstore and can’t wait to come back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Bibliophile's Dream! The Ohio Bookstore is an absolute treasure trove! Spanning multiple floors, this Cincinnati landmark offers a truly incredible selection, from rare editions to contemporary gems. I loved getting lost among the towering shelves—the atmosphere is rich with the smell of old paper and history. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about books. Plus, their bookbinding and restoration services are a unique, fantastic touch. If you love books, you must visit this cultural icon!

Their whole gimmick is that there is no organization. Stuff is sorta sorted into categories but overall just a nice older building and a lot of books and history. Anything interesting tho is borderline close to any other used book store

This is a nice book store close to downtown and had plenty of parking close by to choose from. They had a large selection of books and magazines both old and new. There appeared to be a rather large selection of Ohio history books. As well as some first editions and what appeared to me to be some obscure older books. So if you are looking for something specific give them a call or stop in and see if they have the old book you have been looking for.

This store was incredible and I wish I had more time to explore it before my flight home but I’m so happy that I stopped by. I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were three floors of books, plus a basement with more books and a bookbinding area. They had some very unique collections that I haven’t seen in other used bookstores. I found a book of Shakespeare’s plays for young readers from 1883! Cannot wait for my next visit!
