Cincinnati only had two remaining long established used bookstores with a depth of community history. Duttenhofer"s and Ohio Books. Both are my favorites, each has different strengths. Duttenhofer's can't be described though, it has to be experienced. By long drifty browsing sessions. Entering it is like entering a pocket dimension outside of conventional space and time. The current owners continue Russ' legacy, and have improved many thing in the store, but it remains very much the bookstore I first walked into practically in my teens, almost 30 years ago. It's magical. They have a bit of everything from ephemera to pulp novels to rare antiquarian volumes. May Duttenhofer's last another 50 years! When so many other things change for the worse, at least this bookshop remains a legacy and a vital resource to Cincinnati and UC area readers that it always has been.

A great and eclectic spot for any, and all, book lovers! The store was packed with thousands (if not tens of thousands) of volumes to select from. I picked up a book titled "Freud for the Jung". It is a humorous look at a fictitious therapy session utilizing the psychoanalytical techniques of the two famed (and oft decried) psychologists.

This is a cool place. No nonsense no extras just books. I don't think everyone would like it but it has a certain style to it. Also it's fairly small because of the location so it won't have a ton of books to choose from.

They no longer buy magazines to my knowledge, they used to buy old vintage bound volumes of magazines from the 19th century, but they currently no longer buy any magazines of any sort
