Truly a readers' and collectors' dream, this huge, thirty-two-room shop (one of the largest independent bookstores in the country) has a well-organized collection of books from every genre. The peaceful courtyard is a great place to relax and decide on purchases and is also where bargain books are found for as little as a buck. Located in the heart of German Village, just a few miles from... more

Offering an old-fashioned Dickensian atmosphere for more interesting shopping, this book store has 32 rooms to explore while looking for that special book. The store covers an entire city block and offers a wide selection of all new books for every age and interest.

Part of a vanishing breed, this independent bookstore, one of the largest in the U.S., boasts 32 connecting rooms and a resident cat, Winky, who prefers to snooze undisturbed among its 700,000 tomes. Built in 1863, past not-so-lofty incarnations included a saloon, a nickelodeon cinema and a general store. And although maps are provided, it's easy to get around as each room is labeled... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

Bibliophiles partial to quirky, independent bookstores should steer clear of this shop--or their credit cards will suffer the consequences.

The Scene Leafy walkways strung with white lights lead to tables of bargain books outside the store's front door. Inside is a book-lover's dream: 32 rooms (one city block) with brimming stacks. Feel free to pet Winky, the Book Loft's resident cat who tends to sprawl lazily amongst the hardcovers, but don't wake him: Winky likes his sleep. The Draw Many think this is... more

Neat location, neat set-up. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The selection of books is fantastic, plus they have a nice selection of local authors. They serve in our community. If you get on the email list, you will get an email every ten minutes! But it is all good.

Pros

+ Selection

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... more
