Loganberry Books was established in November 1994 as a used and rare bookstore featuring carefully selected books. Although we are a general bookshop with books in many fields, our specialties include on children’s and illustrated books, women’s history and literature, and the fine and performing arts.

The shop is located on Larchmere Boulevard on the east side of Cleveland where many great antique shops and art galleries congregate (directions & map).

Originally sharing space with Dede Moore Oriental Rugs, Loganberry has undergone several growth spurts over the past decade.  In 1997, we annexed the adjacent storefront, and in September 2003, we left the rugs behind and moved into our own building down the street, thereby tripling our space and available inventory.

So what’s with the name? Well, it’s my old collegiate nickname, taken from my name, Harriett Logan. Since my mother and I are both involved with the business (she’s an excellent book scout), I thought the family name seemed appropriate.  It's also the source for what my brother refers to as "the corporate color": purple.

The website started early in terms of internet commerce.  We had our own website back in 1995, and since I didn't have much of a database to post, I started posting customer comments on a page titled I Remember That Book.  This quickly grew to include customer queries I couldn't answer, on a page called Stump the Bookseller.  The success of this service far exceeded my expectations, especially after publicity from National Public Radio and The New York Times.

Strong Bindery, a specialized service for restoring and repairing old books,  joined us at the new location in 2003.  Adjoining the two spaces is a clerestory garage that has been converted into the Annex Gallery.  We look forward to more exciting meetings and events in the grand new space.
