Who We Are

Hi! We’re Aria and David Griffey, the bookloving business partners, writing partners, and life partners who co-own Griffeys’ Book Emporium. We’ve lived with our families in Delaware, Ohio for over 25 years combined and now we’re raising a third generation right here at the heart of it all.

From late 2022 through mid 2025 we owned and operated the Griffeys’ Book Emporium retail store in the Georgetowne Shopping Center on Delaware’s west side. Now, needing a bit more flexibility with baby #2 on the way, we’re going mobile! We’ll be popping up at vendor markets throughout Central Ohio with bookish offerings for everyone (check out our Events page for upcoming dates and locations).

Additionally, during our tenure at Georgetowne, we discovered our love of bookbinding and repair, and we are continuing our work in that field out of our home studio right here in Delaware, Ohio. Please check our Services page for current availability and contact info if you have a project in mind for us.

We can’t wait to see where we’ll go on this next leg of our bookselling journey! If you’d like to keep up with all things Griffeys’, please enter your email address below to join our mailing list:
