Downtown Tipp City, Ohio has a host of local shops and restaurants that look intriguing from the street.We recently visited and had time for just one so we, of course, chose the bookstore. Browse Awhile Books is packed from floor to ceiling on two floors that stretch over 4,000 square feet.

Friends, they have about 150,000 used books in a wide range of genres including books that are rare and out-of-print. History, classics, science, nature, mysteries,  science fiction, cookbooks, romance, biography – you name it, they have more than you could probably browse in a day. 

We gave it the old college try. 

We each left with a few intriguing selections and a desire to return on another day. That’s when you know you had a good time, when you leave wanting more. 

Lots of online sources claim this bookshop is haunted by at least fifteen ghosts. The building is more than 150 years old and has served many purposes including bakery, hardware store and grocer. So, if you go and encounter something otherworldly, I’ll expect you to report back!
