The Book Loft
Settled in the German Village district on the south side of Columbus, Ohio, The Book Loft is a treat for book lovers. Sporting 32 rooms filled with books, there is a little bit of everything for all kinds of readers. Of course there's your children's books, cook books, novels, and everything that can be expected, but there are also rare gems waiting in the giant maze that makes up this book store. For a maze is what it is, with several floors and stairways that will take your around to large rooms filled with books and to little nooks and crannies stuffed with reading material. It's been a few years since I've been there, but they also used to have a house cat roaming around, so don't accidentally step on the kitty.
The Regulator Bookshop
Nestled into a nook on Ninth Street in Durham, North Carolina, The Regulator Bookshop is not far from the downtown area and is right next door to Duke University. The clientele is obviously heavily influenced by the university environment, and many of the selections here are ones that would be appreciated by college students, though there's a little bit of everything throughout the store. There actually are some text books for sale, and there's a nice mixture of new and used books. The store also buys book, but call ahead first to ask for their policies on book buying.
the Morris Book Shop
Not only is the Morris Book Shop and independent book store, but it also caters to readers who enjoy material from independent publishers and authors as well as books from smaller presses. Book signings, live musicians and other events are quite common at this shop off Southland Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, so don't forget to check out its online calendar before dropping in. Also, if you happen to be an author, try becoming familiar with the Morris Book Shop; I've personally asked store staff to carry particular books from smaller publishers, and they have always happily complied within a matter of days. Though this is a small store, don't be fooled; this shop has lots to offer, often unique material, and they're willing to order whatever will make the customer happy.
