Hello friends, what are some small businesses/locally owned bookstores here in the Columbus area and Bowling Green/Dayton area? It can be used or new! Before anyone says the Bookloft, yes, I know of it and love it, but I want to explore some new places!

Bookspace Columbus is great. Lots of leftist titles and cool zines.

Jay and Mary’s Bookcenter in Troy. I haven’t been there, but seriously considered going to a reading by John Scalzi they hosted. It’s his “home” bookshop, and a source for signed copies of his work.
