The Friends' Used Book Store at the Warehouse — Local services in Wyoming

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 ambiance 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. "Regular" prices here are low enough that there really is no benefit to enduring the overly 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...

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.

The best used bookstore in Cincinnati! The books are cheap, they have a huge selection, the books are in good condition, and I'll proceeds go to help local libraries. What more could you ask for? I happily make the 35 minute drive every once in awhile to check out their stock and always manage to leave with 5 to 10 books for around $20! I credit them with getting me back into reading - I've had to buy more bookshelves for my apartment simply to hold my collection I've gotten from this place! I highly recommend visiting this bookstore, you...
