Has a great wide range of books, very nice staff and very reasonable prices I've found my favorite book store

Love this bookstore! Everything is priced AMAZINGLY low, and the quality of their selection is mind-boggling. Bobby helped us out and showed me a bunch of indie graphic novels and comic books, and the manga selection has a lot of really good titles and series, like Seraph of the End, Natsume's Book of Friends, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon, as well as a lot of TokyoPop titles! Not a lot of complete series but if you're looking for 1 or 2 volumes to finish a series give them a look! I was also able to find the Golden Press Field Guide books which are beautifully printed and typeset for a dollar each. They also have really interesting antique books, like letterpress printed editions, and complete encyclopedias.

Bibliophiles and bibliofriends should check out The Friends' Used Book Store for library-quality used books!

During the pandemic the bookstore is able to be accessed only by appointment. The store has a large selection. Members get %10 off purchases and 20% off in February. Donations are accepted. Call for details. Parking can be scarce. An overall great experience and interesting items and books to select from.

You can make book donations Wed & Sunday during the Pandemic. Neeed an appt, then pull up to the garage door and they will unload.

Absolute great place to buy books, most of which are around $3. I'll admit that the store took me by surprise at first (I went on one of their big sale days), the sheer depth of the books they have to offer is incredible. I can't recommend this place enough, will be coming back soon!

Dropped off 7 bags of gently used DVDs, VHS, CDs and books today. I could've gave it to goodwill but being a hardcore patron of the Cincinnati Library, I know someone can find joy in these particular items here.

So many great used books! Every genre you could want, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

A true gem for book lovers and one of the Tri-State area's best kept secrets, The Friends Used Book Store at the Warehouse clearly outshines Half Price Books in terms of variety and especially in reasonable prices. It has that ambience of a true, used book store.quiet and with the unmistakable aroma of vintage paper. The Friends has a large and ever changing selection.including more obscure and hard to find titles.which cannot be matched by other stores in the area. The inventory is fueled by donations, often by the very customers who shop there.and the benefit is that The Friends can resell books at low prices. I highly recommend that book lovers visit this location. My only suggestion is absolutely do not go during a big sale.as during my last visit the store was overcrowded and several of us, myself included, were advised to move our vehicles NOW as we had mistakenly parked in a neighboring businesses lot. As there was no nearby parking available, my visit was cut short. Prices here are low enough that there really is no benefit to enduring the crowded sale environment. Parking is extremely limited by a small lot and crowded side street.but if you go during regular business hours you should be fine and will be quite pleased with the experience.

Incredible collection of all types of books! Affordable prices and many books' condition is like new! Staff works hard to restock books on the regular basis so that we can find anything that is of our interest. Highly recommend!

1st timer! Amazing amount of merchandise to peruse. Movies, collectable books, Cincinnati centered books. Many music CDs and record albums (and this is just part of the front room!). Comic and super heroes books.
The book classifications are well delineated. Happy to see wide selection of large print books. Library volunteers are plentiful and helpful. My 8 books, 2 CDs, and plastic carrying bag=$8.00!

First time there and treated like I was family. I was shown the golden road to the history section. What a time I had looking around. Can't wait to go back for another adventure.

The Friends Of The Hamilton County & Cincinnati Pubic Library store is a great place to get discounted used books they're in good shape and they have any and everything that the library would have had in it. When they have sales it's even more wonderful for book lovers. The only thing I don't like is there's nowhere to park except if you can find something on the little side street.
