Celebrating 35 Years with Browse Awhile Books

By: Abbi Heckel

This week's episode of the Downtown Lowdown has an exciting announcement! Tipp City’s beloved book store Browse Awhile is about to celebrate 35 years of being in business! This calls for an epic celebration!

What is the Story Behind Browse Awhile Books?

Browse Awhile first sparked into creation by selling used and rare books to collectors since 1980 through their original retail store, in Sidney Ohio, 1980, and now in the Tipp City location since 1990. Have you had troubles trying to find a very specific book that you’ve almost given up on? You don’t have to fret any longer! With approximately 150,000 books you’re sure to find whatever book you can dream up! If you are looking for a book that somehow isn't available inside the neverending store then feel free to  ask Amanda Carl, the dedicated manager for nineteen years. She practically has the entire inventory memorized! 

Interesting Perks of Browse Awhile: 

Maybe you don’t find blind dates with another person all that intriguing but, how about a blind date with a book? At Browse Awhile you can purchase a grab bag full of mystery books that maybe you wouldn’t typically take a second glance at but could end up being your next late night obsession. With spooky season filling the air, maybe you find yourself itching for otherworldly adventure. Surprisingly. Browse Awhile also has plenty of spooks in store with nineteen spirits that share the space. Paranormal Investigators have flocked to Browse Awhile to hold their very own investigations, some of which were televised! Think you’re up for the challenge? Call (937) 667-7200 and ask to speak to Amanda to reserve the bookstore from 8pm until 1am and see for yourself what lurks between the bookshelves. 

How Can I Celebrate With Them?

On October 23rd, Browse Awhile is hosting their 35th Anniversary celebration! From 5pm to 7pm come visit the shop! With giveaways and goodies as well as a 10% discount on all book purchases you don’t want to miss this! Support your Tipp City local businesses today!
