About Dowbound Books: Downbound Books opened in late 2019 with the goal of bringing an old-fashioned neighborhood bookstore to Cincinnati’s Northside. To us, being a neighborhood shop means we both serve and support our community and its residents, organizations, and schools.
We work to stock an ever-evolving selection of books that resonate with our community. With just over 500 square feet of selling space, we couldn’t possibly compete with vendors offering a massive selection, so we don’t try. We’re not driven by bestsellers, and we don’t think our role is to offer the same books that are available everywhere else—though we love many of those books, and are always happy to get them for you. In the store, though, we try to present books, ideas, and authors that aren’t always so easy to discover elsewhere. We hope you’ll like what you find.
