Main Street Books

It doesn’t get better than Main Street Books – knowledge staff, great selection, outstanding service, and best of all, community minded. A week rarely passes without an enriching program or activity.

Although this book store is awesome in way of used and new books, I was disappointed. The worker we encountered was very rude. We ordered a book from them, and paid, and she made it seem like a chore that we asked her for this. Then, she told us it’d be there in five days. We waited a week and called to check, and she told us it wasn’t even ordered. We never got our book and lost our money! Poor service.

Main Street Books is a great little pocket bookstore. It occupies a tiny, narrow, well-​lit, high ceiling space on Main Street. Books are as high as you can reach, there’s a newly opened reading loft at the back, and there’s mural’s above the books. It’s not a specialty store; it’s small, but it has a bit of everything — from Ohio and local history to Dickens to children’s books to DYI to contemporary fiction to «Go-​Buckeye» stuff. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and of course can order anything you can’t walk out with. There’s no point to going to Barnes & Noble when you can go here.
Main Street Books is the anchor of possibly the most exciting little strip of Main Street. (Grab a paper at City News/Suzy’s Smoke Shop, chow down on (famous) pea salad at Coney Island, grab a couple of books, and settle in at Martini’s. When you’re done, you can stumble over the carousel and go round and round and round. You won’t need to travel more than 50 yards.
There’s a back entry to City News/Suzy’s Smoke Shop toward back right under the Cheshire cat! Ah, reading and smoking — two traditional vices!
