The Book Loft is an
independent
bookstore in
Columbus
,
Ohio
. It is known (by its advertising) as 32
rooms
of
books
. This doesn't do it the
justice
it deserves. The Book Loft was one of the first bookstores I'd been to in Columbus when I moved here and it's become one of those
places
I rave about to my guests. The
variety
of the books shames your typical
Waldenbooks
and
Barnes & Noble
but the fun in this place is the
discovery
. You are
greeted
at first with a well manicured
garden
path that leads you into an outdoor display of well priced books, posters, what have you. Once you go inside you're faced with a
maze
(the best description I can give). As you move through the maze you move from
theme
to theme... sports, to
history
, to
art
, to
human
interaction
, to
literature
... there are
tiny
closet rooms stuffed with books about travel,
vast
rooms filled with
biography
and
religion
,
science
,
music
... many of us will go there just to
crawl
through the rooms and get lost in it. Everyone moves through this place like quiet
spirits
that haunt some kind of
wonderland
of words...
fairytale
book store...if you're
lucky
you'll be able to pet their
cat
.
