“You can always find something to read in Half Price Books. I was looking for a specific book and they did not have it at one store. They found it at another store that was on my way home. The staff is always helpful and they love their work. It is not flashy and doesn't have a coffee shop but you can find books on almost any subject.”
“I visited Rainy Day books to purchase books for our church libraryThe staff (Peggy & others) had gathered books they thought we might like, and that made the purchase process go smoothly. Peggy also ordered additional books that should arrive next week. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
“What a beautiful and charming book store! New location and expanded sections… and coffee!! The owner is lovely and excited to make this my one stop shop for books ?”

“Such a wonderful bookstore with very friendly service! Classic titles in many different subjects. Neat, relaxing spaces in which to browse and read. Chill vibe from both patrons and the space. Cool t-shirts are available as well.(Posting pics I'm thinking aren't too oft-posted as opposed to the more standard fare.)”
“It is not as large as other B&N stores in the KC area but has a good book selection. It also has a coffee shop that sells Starbucks items and drinks. It is not as full featured as a full Starbucks. It does have a small seating area next to the coffee shop that is not part of the coffee shop that I have not seen in other B/N stores in the KC area.”
“Cory, the owner, was an absolute joy. She cares about black and brown experiences shared through books. KC is known for its food and bar scene, but BLK + BRWN proves that there is a safe and necessary space for those who love to think, use their imagination, and form community through the love of reading. God bless Cory and her beautiful space. Support local!”
“I consider myself blessed beyond all measures that this store exists. They have helped me more than they will ever know in deeping my love for the Catholic Church.”

“Lots of interesting and inspiring items and great people who work there. I wish I had time to read all the inspiring books.., had space for all the beautiful pictures to put on my walls., and $$ to buy all the unique and beautiful items they sell. I love this place!”
“Half priced books is the best, because it has the vibes of an old school bookstore. But it also has board games and video games.
My favorite is the space towards the front where they keep collectors/rare/specialty books. That's where I found the goosebumps and CYOA that I bought.”
“Adding context to my review, I appreciate how helpful Tim (I believe was the name) was in setting up a pull list, explaining the process to me. Tim (again, hoping that name is right) even called me about 10 minutes after I left to get clarification on my chicken scratch variant cover requests. Very satisfied with both B Bop locations but boy howdy this one being down the road from work is going to cost me a pretty penny.”

“Quick and easy if you have pre-ordered books online. Slightly more time consuming if you purchase in person, but still fairly stream-lined. I recently purchased my 4th and last semester of books there without issues”
“The book stores now inside prefix Cafe. It's a little bit smaller but it's a incredibly wondrous Cafe. Also IHOPU students get discounts for books. Be sure to bring your student badge.”
“It's nice that you can charge your student account and pay your balance when they bill you.I appreciate that they have school supplies and food, though I wish they had a few more filling food options when I'm in a pinch.”
“I always find unexpected treasures when I come in here. The best part is, there always seems to be a sale (at least on what I end up getting). Love shopping here; there are so many different things to look at.”
“Absolutely Love going to Barnes & Noble! If I have trouble finding something, I always get help very quickly, the store is always nice and clean and speedy check out”
