“I was visiting Covington for work. I was walking around when I saw this place on the corner. Decided to stop in. Nice vibe with various rooms full of books and Cindy didn't to sit and read. I didn't have time to do that but I did order a tumeric gold drink and a yummy cookie to go. Next I might have more time to sit and enjoy.”
“My favorite record store. The wealth of knowledge of everyone working in the store, the endless selection of music that they have and if they don’t they will help you get it if it’s out there. But I would have to say my favorite part of going there is their patience with my barrage of endless questions and requests for recommendations :) Thank you guys”
“Great place for a book club meet up! They have great space to sit and chat, plenty of board games and drinks! Plus great pricing on books. The owner and his partner are amazing hosts and I cant wait to go back!”
“A hidden gem in a beautiful community. Perfect little spot to grab a book, head up to Alms and dive right in. Walking inside actually brought me back to a memory, or a vague idea of one. The smell of books, brightly colored and shelved. I didn’t know what I was after, I just felt around until something spoke to me. It was a great experience. I’ll definitely be back.It got me thinking, obviously enough to write this review. But when I was a kid, we stopped supporting these quirky little treasures of our community. We started buying our books at giant megabookstores until Amazon came in and… well… ya know. They kinda went extinct as a result. And when they were gone, we missed them and wanted them back. It’s so nice to see one return and The Bookery is exemplary of why they’re needed.So what if it wasn’t the absolute cheapest price I could have bought it for across the entirety of the internet. I got my money back with the experience.Five stars.”
“The staff here are SO KIND and take their time to recommend books and explain different things. I have recommended this place to so many people because the level of customer service is unmatched.”
“Very good place to find OLD texts in good shape. As a person that collects cookbooks and hosts parties, there was quite a selection of books for me to choose from. The younger staff member was very friendly and helped me move the ladder to the section I wanted. While I can’t speak on much else, I can say that this store is worth a visit if you like roaming the stacks.”

4139 Apple St, Cincinnati“Nice selection for a small, local bookstore. They had Ursula LeGuin's version of the Tao Te Ching, which is the best in my opinion. Also had Michael Wizer's "Mindfulness: The Art of Living, which was the reason I went there.”
“I love this location! YUMMY food, DELICIOUS drinks, and the loveliest ambiance/feel as you peruse through the different worlds of literature. I love the different seating options here, and the restroom is so beautifully decorated, yet has a homey feel. It makes me feel like I'm at a loved ones home, having a delicious bite to eat and a soothing drink, as I find a cozy spot to get lost in a good book. All the goods at this place! Definitely recommend stopping by this cute coffeeshop-bookstore.”
“I'm a resident of NKY, and attend my own local library's sales when I can. But I found found this magical place via Facebook, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since! I can't wait to visit them again once they're back from their well-deserved holiday. I was able to get a box full of books - all in such good condition - for less than $50. You can't get that kind of deal anywhere else! Can't wait to go back! :)”
“I’ve wanted to check this place out for a while. Last time I had gone in was about 5-6 years ago with my Dad. They’ve really grown. The owner and employees are very kind, and took the time to just talk with us and tell us a little about what they had.”
“Found this on a search for Christian bookstores in my area. Used Google maps to et to it and went past because the turn was not marked, but circled back. Definitely worth the trip! Lots of great items to choose from and very nice people. Will be back!”

4999 Houston Rd, Florence“Books on every topic at great prices. The knowledge you seek about anything and everything and it's affordable. Loved this book store for years and years. The library is great and all, but this place makes it nice and easy to own your favorites and sell back the ones you didn't love.”
“Stopped in here for the first time today with my four year old daughter because we always passed it and kept forgetting to check it out! (My daughter loves books) the customer service is the BEST, the employees were so welcoming. The store is inviting and adorably decorated. We went up the the “Big Green Room” that was decorated exactly like the book, “Goodnight Moon”, it was neat! the lady at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure my daughter had a pleasant first experience. Please support this small business! We will certainly be back!!”
“I love going to basically any Half Price Books I can, and this one almost always has something I want. They have a good selection of classical and medieval literature, foreign language material (Latin students will find plenty here), and philosophy.”
“The book was better than described! Fast and prompt shipping coupled with ease of ordering makes my recommendation a no-brainer!Look forward to purchasing more books with this company in the future!”
“The sales women here are the best! They're knowledgeable and extremely helpful in finding the appropriate religious gift for you. I'm always amazed that I walk out with more than I planned to purchase.”

All for one, one for all Be a Musketeer, it will change your life !”
“Love the people here, they are so sweet and helpful. I hate that the changing times are forcing them to close their physical stores because they are a big resource for people who aren’t financially secure but still want a college education without the ridiculous prices.”
“It was great going back to the bookstore and getting some swag. I graduated in 1990 and promptly left Cincinnati. Just moved back after 30 years away. It was amazing being back on campus. The bookstore is very large, clean and lots of stuff. Purchase a new hat, car decal and some stickers.”
“Lots of great stuff but limited DAD merch for those of us paying the bills! Prices are a little high for general supplies. They'll also bait and switch you if you order used books. We ended up with new books which were way more expensive!”
“I really enjoyed this bookstore! Lots of used books, mostly rare or international works translated into English. I found some really cool items to add to my book shelves!”
