The Hidden Chapter Bookstore

Simply immaculate. Wonderful addition to the area.
The Hidden Chapter is a hospitable den of literary majesty that exceeds its goal of providing accessible transformative experiences to all. Located conveniently next to an ice cream shop, and with an incipient promise of beverages served, I can see any book lover spending uncountable hours within their dark ninteenth-century inspired walls.

Lacey is the coolest! The warmth of the owners is unmatched. Not stuffy or stiff. You are welcome (and they don’t mind the icee cream from next door!!!!!)

One of my 2024 goals is to find 24 small bookstores. The Hidden Chapter was number 3 on my journey.... and it was a delight! Dave, the owner, greeted me immediately. Being curious, I asked the story behind his bookstore, which has only been open about 6 months. He shared and offered a few book suggestions.

As the key on the door suggests, you are opening the key to world's of fiction when you enter. The decor is beautiful... and that purple couch!!! 🥰 There are so many charming details. They have done a really great job!

I stopped by the bar first thing and enjoyed a cup of hot Cider while I shopped. There is a great variety of books and I was pleasantly surprised to find so many used books because they are all in excellent condition and looked new at first glance! That means you can buy more books for less! What bibliophile doesn't love that???

If you are near The Hidden Chapter Bookstore, do yourself a favor and stop! You will love it!

Always a wonderful time. Lots of great books, new and used. Dave gives great book recommendations. Seems like they are adding evening events like live music. I am looking forward to seeing more of that and hope I can attend sometime!

Gorgeous and comfortable interior, plenty of books to browse. Most of the selection seems to focus on fantasy and fiction genres. I had a lovely time and will be back!

This place had such a great vibe, great selection for fantasy/sci fi including some vintage LotR copies, absolutely adorable pins and metal bookmarks. Beverages coming soon!!! 10/10 recommend if you're in the area!!!

Wonderful local bookstore, owner-operated, with an excellent selection of various types of fiction. They serve hot and cold drinks, as well as an expanding selection of beer, wine, and liquor.

Great prices, friendly staff, and a comfortable environment makes an excellent place.

Wow! Such a cool place to find a great book, I've been back 3 times already! Mr. Mulcahy is very knowledgeable and suggested a series that was exactly what I was looking for. I love supporting local businesses and being able to find 1st and special editions (Iron Flame) and used books alike. Coffee and beverages to come, I think I found my new hangout in town!

Absolutely love this book store, if you can call it just that. It’s really so much more! Glad you guys picked Ft Thomas.

It’s one of the most charming bookstores that sits in beautiful Fort Thomas ky.. Dave mulcahy the owner makes you feel right at home and being very knowledgeable about the wide variety and selection of books he carries.
Drinks are not available yet, but will be soon, you can still come in and find your favorite book.
