Be sure to check out the BookLoft if you're ever in CBus! It really is awesome.
Notice how I went step 1.. 2.. 4.. and then just no more steps? Yeah, my attention span is not great.
Daniel Greene if you ever take a trip to Europe there are many great libraries and bookstores to visit
My favourite store used to be "Dark They Were And Golden Eyed" in Soho London it was 100% fantasy/science fiction and a major comic book store...its been closed now for nearly 30yrs but by God when it was open it had everything and quite often some of its customers were mind-blowing...
There`s a huge connection between the store and another of my fave bookstores "Forbidden Planet" as the founder Nick Landau was often seen inside,he went on the found "Forbidden Planet " and was a huge influence in making "2000AD" a success as editor..
That yellow book behind you at 4:33 , Kill the Farm boy. You should check it out sometime. You like absurdism.
My friend took me there when I visited (didn't know you, too, lived in Ohio). Great place.
Step 3 is for chumps.
Reading books and buying books are two entirely different hobbies
I will unfortunately agree with this. I've been an above average reader for decades, but not so much anymore. I buy so many books and with a deteriorating attention span I find myself reading less and less. I hate it honestly.
My 6 foot tall tbr pile agrees with you.
Just getting back into reading myself, I'm working on Elantris currently yet I have all of Brandon Sanderson works lined up next, have 11 books coming Wednesday through Amazon and am working on collecting wheel of time. So yeah I'd say you're totally right haha
SO TRUE!!!
I might just travel to America just for that store
I want to move out there forever!!!!!
Same
me too
Me too
Me too
Nothing send me brain to overdrive than seeing shelves of books.
I miss bookstores like these, I could get lost in them for days ❤️
The Book Loft will always hold a special place in my heart. My boyfriend took me there on our first date because he knew I loved reading. Such a beautiful if not at times frightening (when you walk down the narrow and very steep staircases) place.
This is tooooo cute 😭
Damn he a keeper
Marry that chad
If you love this place, then I invite you to check out Powell's Books in Portland, OR if you're ever in the neighborhood. It fills an entire city block and has it's own parking. Three stories, rare book archive on the top floor. It's...life changing if you love books as much as me. lol. And still independently owned, too. it's not part of any of the big box publisher-run outlets like B&N.
I didn't know B&N was still around! Kind of assumed it went out of business ages ago.
I always stop at Powell's every time I visit Portland. The most amazing bookstore I've ever been in.
Barnes & Noble are still around, it's Borders that went out of business 10 years ago
Powell’s is on my book store bucket list!! I live insanely far away so I don’t know when I will be able to visit, but I know that I will at some point haha.
I wish I had more independent book stores like this where I live
Why do you do this to me Daniel. Now I wanna go there.
IDK man I still prefer the sci fi bookstore in Gothenburg, Sweden. It has a coffee shop inside that bakes pastries based on books, films, TV shows and games where you can sit and read or play games with a 5 stories high ceiling with a fantasy banner on it and the coffee shop is named after Sirius from Harry Potter. It has a dragon painted on the wall to the basement. It has an elevator that looks like the TARDIS and when you ride it it sounds like the TARDIS taking off and landing. It has a life size xenomorph. It has everything a geek could ever want from fantasy door mats to kids first Halloween monster book. There's comic books and manga and everything else. Half a million books and a lot of rooms sounds cool and all but I'll stick with mine.
I live an hour away from Columbus. Looks like I'm taking a trip in the very near future.
If you ever make it to Portland Oregon, you need to visit Powell books. Over 1.6 acres of retail space (it takes up an entire city block with multiple floors), over a million books on the shelves. An amazing place to visit if you love books.
Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norell is an amazing book and I hope you enjoy it! Totally worth all 1,000 pages and the footnotes add so much to the story.
Not going to lie but I'm kind of jealous. This bookstore looks fantastic :O
An entire shelf of Dresden. They are doing it right!
I wish booktubers made more videos talking about their favorite bookstores and not just the super popular ones. I love this!
Happy to spot James A S Corey. I know that’s SciFi but still great reading.
Great series though
Came for the reviews and was pleasantly surprised to find a neat book store/date spot in hometown! Thanks!
Book,book,and more books!📚📚📚
Crazy!!
I an actually getting ready to move to Columbus!! Can't wait to check this out.
One year later, how was your visit??
If you’re ever in Portland, OR you have to check out Powell’s. It’s amazing!
I’ve never wanted to visit Columbus until now! 😅
Going to guess Bookloft....love that place.
I swear it wasn’t obvious by the thumbnail when I said this lol
I live right down the street, and take all of my friends and family to this store. Before my father passed, we made some great memories here. This is one of Columbus's gems.Also recommend Winans Coffee and Chocolates just up the street by Schiller Park after sating your book needs.
When I lived in Austin in the late 90s my favorite place was Book People -- four stories of books and magazines -- thousands and thousands of titles! And I could literally make an entire day out of being there just exploring and doing a little sample reading and have a pastry and a coffee in the little nooks and crannies ... Man, I miss those days.
Awesome. I will look into it to see if I can visit it soon. Any ideas of any in the Dallas and Plano area? I live in Frisco
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, nice! I'm halfway through the audiobook at the moment.
Me too! (but I have the physical book). I love it
If you ever find yourself in NYC, you absolutely have to visit The Strand. It’s one of my favorite places in the entire city and heaven for any book lover.
Damn right. Impossible to be a book lover in NYC and not bought from the Strand before.
The Strand is my favorite bookstore.
I just went to Columbus for the Ohio State Spring game and I forced my family to bring me here. It took me 15 minutes to find the YA and Fantasy section but I got 3 books.
I lived in C-bus for 6 years, and yeah, that place is heaven.
I used to live in Columbus, Ohio for ten years and visited The Book Loft many a time. It’s one of my favorite places in the world.
I love mazelike bookstores. This is beautiful. Thank you for taking us on a pilgrimage
I've been there a few times. I've really enjoyed the experience!
I went to school in Columbus and just moved back a couple months ago. The Book Loft is BOMB. I'll definitely visit again once things are less... corona-y.
Reminds me somewhat of the library basement in Ghostbusters!
Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norell is a great book. Glad to see you buying it.
I enjoy these vlogs to the bookstore. Greetings from Mexico.
Found your book on the front page under best sellers for a local bookstore's website. Very surreal as I immediately recognized the cover. Congrats!
My gf and I have lived in Columbus for 5+ years, both love sci-fi and fantasy (including a ton of books you talk about on your channel!), and we wouldn't believe we just went to the Book Loft for the first time last month. It is INSANE. I recommend any fans of any sort of book stop in even to just look around (but don't buy the special editions I want...) :)
Awesome video! Nice change of pace
This is like the embodiment of Terry Pratchett's L-Space. I love it.
This is my fav bookstore to visit whenever I’m in a Columbus!! He’s not lying guys it really is that awesome, they have everything.
Just went here a few weeks back! No idea Daniel made a video on it. Can't wait for another visit!
Loved the bookstore tour and love your UMW shirt!!
I love the look of that neighborhood. Something about old brick appeals to me.
I also live in Dublin and love making the trip down to the Book Loft!
The Half Price Books on Lane is also amazing and a bit of a maze to me but not nearly to the same extent as the Book Loft!
I’m a newer subscriber and very excited to learn of a RUclipsr so close by!
My family is on vacation right now, and I had us go to the book loft on your recommendation. It was an awesome experience! Thanks for the recommendation, it was well worth the stop!
I went there last fall with my mom - taking my aunt and my kids there in a few weeks. LOVE the Book Loft! We also love the German restaurant (Schmidt's) that isn't too far away, too. Makes a perfect day - books, German food, then more books! :) Means you'll have to come back to OH more often now, right? :) Ha!!! (I'm just outside of Cincinnati, so it's a good short weekend trip.) Side note - bought my Mistborn trilogy there! :) First intro into Brandon Sanderson!
This place looks amazing. The tight coziness of the mountain of books... I wish I had something like this near me.
We had a bookstore similar to The Book Loft here in Tucson, but unfortunately it closed about 18 years ago or more. It wasn’t as big as yours, but it had the maze of rooms and wonderful selection, knowledgeable staff and great atmosphere. We don’t have many bookstores left here compared to when I moved here 28 years ago. I get a lot of my books from Amazon because I can no longer drive, but I miss being able to spend the day checking out bookstores and browsing the shelves for that surprise gem.
This place looks amazing! :) When I visited the USA I found Powell's Bookstore in Portland to be also a great place, not just because it is huge but all the people working and shopping there were nice and we just randomly started talking about some authors, series and it was a happy place. I traveled to the USA from Europe and spent almost a whole day at that store... When I'm near this place I will make sure to check it out thanks for showing.
It is like a maze omg, so disorientating, but it is like a mecha of bookstores. I would love to visit it some day! I also applaud the people that work in that store for being able to know where everything goes lol. Having worked in bookstores i would totally get lost in that place lol.
it looks amazing! and what a great collection :D
Thanks for sharing! My family and I sometimes drive up to Columbus from Cincinnati (Where my grandparents live). I will for sure check out this book store the next time I am there! If you ever find yourself in the PNW make sure you visit Powell's Book Store in Portland, OR. That book store is the biggest one I have ever been in and it is beautiful.
Amazing bookstore! Wish I had one like that one in my country(middle Europe).
Btw if you ever go to Paris, you HAVE TO go to Shakespeare and Company, that si trully the most beautiful bookstore with the richest history in the world! Dark wood shelves packed with books, old furniture, nice people, a special place for writers/readers(more writers tho where anyone can stop by and just write), an antique book section with possibly the most amazing collection in the world(first edition of The Little Prince with the original hand drawn cover for €15k or Joyce's Ulysses with a personal note to his friend if im not mistaken for €20k are two random examples). Also, since Hemingway is your favorite writer, you would LOVE to get his work there I think and you can get a S@C stamp inside that certifies you bought it there as S@C was his publisher(I was only able to buy 3 books there cuz I was traveling with train around europe with my best friend, but I wish I could get more. They do have an online store, but nothing beats buying it personally)! But I have to admit its a little too touristy, so that is a pretty big downside for some people, but it is still a very genuine book store and people dont just go look random shit there just vuz its famous but they actually go buy stuff like in a nornal store, also taking pictures is prohibited to at least moderate the tourist waves a little.
Book Loft is an amazing local bookstore tho, without too many people to stress you out and pressure you, so as a pure local practical bookstore, I have to say Book Loft seems perfect!
Quite envious of this! I can't remember the last time I've seen something like this here in the UK. most we have are the Waterstones chains (which are great, but they are a chain, and lack some soul.) You sometimes find a wonderful used book shop, but given space is a premium on this small island they are tiny and you often worry about a book avalanche, though I must any I do love those gems, it would be amazing to have one like this somewhere near me!
I love the maze-like quality of the bookstore and the pleasing artwork on their merch.
It's a good thing I don't live in your area, as you would find me permanently living at The Book Loft.
I like this style of video. More vlog style videos like this would be appreciated!
There's something oddly satisfying about those minutes you filmed in the bookstore (without voiceover). And featuring those shelves of books, that's aMAZEing (sorry, couldn't resist). Never been to Columbus (or Ohio for that matte). Would definitely consider making the trip, even if it was just to visit the Book Loft. Nice video!
The Book Loft is truly fantastic. I've never been to a book store like it (thank you for the reminder that I need to go again soon!)
Saw you are from and moving back to VA. Me too. If you happen to be from or near Northern VA (Manassas), then you need to get to McKays books. It’s amazing. They even have a few cats that wander around the store.
No way! I discovered this place a few months back with my girlfriend, and it actually sparked my interest in reading again for the first time in years which eventually lead me to your channel! No joke
i went there on my birthday a few years ago and i’ve wanted to go back ever since. it’s such a magical place.
Sorry, I’m two years late but DUDE I live in a suburb of Columbus and I go there once a week. Hands down my favorite bookstore ever.
Such a great store! It's been way too long since I've been back to the Book Loft. I need to road trip up from Cincy and remedy that!
Looks lovely! I will visit if I'm ever in the area. My favorite book stores are The Strand in New York City and Recycle Bookstore in San Jose, California.
Holy cow im impressed! And jealous! That store looks awesome
If for some reason you ever find yourself in Berlin, Germany - check out "Dussmann. Das KulturKaufhaus". It's basically a department store full of books (and some DVDs, CDs, sheet music). 5 Storeys with 100,000 books. Now you might think "what am I supposed to buy in a German book store? I don't understand German!" Not to worry, they have an English bookshop with 2 Storeys inside the Department Store.
Of course it's not as many books as in the Book Loft, but it's a beautiful and very impressive place ;)
Know it's a bit of a stretch but if you're ever in Jacksonville Florida look up Chamblins book mine it's a store just like this but they're all mostly second hand. I prefer new copies myself but is still always a treat to walk in, smell it and find a new book/series while surrounded by books.
LOVE that place! When I get down for an ATC Shakespeare play in Schiller Park, I stop in, 3 GREAT coffee places a block or two up either way also. Love German Village
If I ever encounter such a collection of fantasy in one place, I'll faint from excitement
Never knew it was that big, i live a good bit away sadly so I've only been to Columbus a few times when going to the museum. defiantly gonna have to head here next summer.
I’m from the area as well and I love this place!! I moved a little farther away so I can’t get there as often anymore.
This video alone made my November! :) Thank You!
I went there last year and it is amazing and the best book store I’ve ever been to! It can be a little overwhelming but so wonderful!
This is also my favorite bookstore. My daughters and I discovered this years ago. We all go there any time we’re in Columbus.
Awesome looking bookstore! Not very many of those around these days it seems, but when they are they are most definitely gems! Edward McKay’s in Greensboro, NC is like that for me. When I lived in Washington State and would visited my grandparents, lived in Vancouver, WA, we would travel down to Portland, OR and go to Powell’s Books.
Where I Live in Nova Scotia, Canada we have a wonderful bookstore called Chapters. It is not as big as your bookstore, but it is still amazingly beautiful & I feel @ home there. Thank you for showing us your favorite bookstore.
It looks amazing and I’m jealous! I live in western Canada so unfortunately I probably won’t be able to visit any time soon...
Hey another Columbus local! its a great place!
I’m so tickled that you live in Columbus^^ I moved overseas a few years ago so watching your videos is like taking a mini trip back home! The Bookloft is magical. Thank you for another walk through the maze.
I live in Switzerland and I can tell you finding a good english bookstore is the hardest thing ever
If you liked the book loft, may I suggest The Book Barn in Connecticut? It has three different locations on the same street, ponds and cats and cute little bridges, good prices and kind people. Each building has its own genre. There’s a spooky looking mystery/horror shack, the history books feel like you’re in a museum archive, the children’s section is awesome. HIGHLY recommend
Amazing shop. We don't have much close to it in the Toronto area anymore
Yo I LOVE the Book Loft! Only went there once during a trip to Columbus years ago but its soooooo cool. Its like wandering a maze.
I am in LOVE! I could get lost in there FOREVER!
Please tour again, very slowly. I can't wait to visit this place one day.
Many many many countless hours have been spent in the Book Loft when I lived in Columbus. Never left without a new book. Absolutely love the place.
I moved to Columbus for school and picked up The Way of Kings here. What a wonderful trip that was.
What a wonderful book to get!
i love it when youtubers talk about my hometown
That place looks AMAZING!!! I'd love to hang out there!!!
This is GREAT!!!! Anytime I travel I always check out the local bookstores. Book hunting is a great hobby 😍😍 This place looks phenomenal
Fun video - thanks man!!
Been going there since I could drive. The Author events they have are fantastic as well.
Just heard of this place. Have to make the drive from central Kentucky soon!
I’ve been there a few times! I have family all over Ohio so we would always make a stop at the BookLoft!! It’s amazing!
Good Lord, who were the two people who gave a thumbs down? If you enjoy books, and i imagine that is why someone would subscribe to Daniel's channel, how could you not love the literary beauty he gave us for ten minutes from this store? Here in NYC, in the olden days, we used to have on Fourth Avenue in Manhattan an area called Book Row where there used to be about 48 bookstores. Now, the only remnant, but a really good one, is Strand Bookstore with its 18 miles of books and its famous outdoor dollar carts. But that Book Loft is a real gem.
I love Book Loft! Wish I could get down there more but I hate driving in Columbus. If you’re ever in the Polaris area (fairly close to Dublin) stop in the Barnes & Noble up there! Not as cool as Book Loft, but I work there and would love to meet you someday! (Wasn’t able to go to the meetup a few weeks ago sadly.)
I never knew you were close to Columbus Ohio. I should totally check out this place.
Just moved to Cinci. Might need to make a day trip!
Anytime I schedule a trip back to Columbus, my wife makes sure that we make it back to the Book Loft. Some of my favorite memories from living in Columbus were made just wandering around the store with friends looking for a new book.
I’m genuinely shocked I’ve never ran into you with how often I go to the book loft
