I love this place. It has nice feel to it. Amazing selection. It's almost impossible to leave without getting a few books . It's fun to try and navigate through the rooms and corridors.

This place is amazing. Prepare to spend hours going through all the rooms of books . I went with my mom and she found a room I had completely missed. It's a glorious maze filled with literary treasure.

Get lost in one of the nations biggest bookstores , comprised of 32 rooms! This German Village maze will keep you entertained all day. Kids, mystery, classics- they've got it all! Open 10am-11pm daily!

Easily the best bookstore I've been to- the selection and quality of the titles is unparalleled. A real gem, especially with brick-and-mortar bookstores in decline.

Great bookstore . Feels like a treasure hunt everytime I visit. One of the great independents. Reminds me of the Strand in NYC, but with a courtyard .

Fun place to wander around. Best way is to come with nothing in particular to get and let yourself find a new treasure.

Safelite AutoGlass

32 rooms of books , magazines, CDs & everything in between. With your purchases in hand, stop in at Cup 'O Joe next door . Espresso and a decadent dessert awaits! -Suggested tip from Kevin D., associate

A great place to get lost in books . In historic German Village . Grab a cupcake at Kittie 's and a coffee at Stauff's nearby.

Aiden Baron

The best book store in the city , in the best neighborhood in the city . A wonderful shop full anything you could want.

Jennifer Jones

You will get so lost, great place to find a book . Just go to explore not to find a certain book cause you will spend days looking for just one book .

It's an old house turned into a bookstore , it's got so many rooms and it's super cool

While visiting German Village , be sure to come and immerse yourself in the Book Loft's 32 rooms of bargin books . It's definitely one of my favorite places!

Did you know? The buildings that now house Book Loft’s 32 rooms of books date to pre-Civil War days and were once general stores , a saloon and a nickelodeon cinema .
