“Watermark is a BEAUTIFUL store with warm and helpful staff. Their inventory is sorted by genre with a good mix of new and older titles. I went in and found exactly what I was looking for just by the signage!
Cannot recommend Watermark enough. Be sure to stop in for a snack and drink!”
“Happened upon this quaint little bookstore that's so much more than ever imagined. This building is super interesting from the outside. Then, the novelty inside is unique too. My friend and I loved spending time here where we explored every floor. We both found a few things we loved enough to purchase and walked away with the nostalgic feeling always appreciated from a shop that includes old, new, and all the pieces in-between. We will go back!”
“Came in to sell some books and buy some with the store credit, they have a great selection of children's and young adult books, as well as a huge selection of adult novels, there are a few back rooms and I really enjoyed just walking around looking at everything 😁”

“I've been a fan of Book-A-Holic since I was a kid, and as an adult I've continued to shop here because I prioritize locally owned businesses over chains. The warehouse bag sales, which tend to occur at the West Street location, are a fabulous way to get an incredible deal on a large quantity of books as well as practice your Tetris skills. But the thing I like the most about the Parklane location is the very high quality communication and customer service from staff here! Since they instituted an online inventory and ordering system, it's been incredibly easy to find exactly what I'm looking for, have it held at Parklane where it's easier for me to pick up, and get an impressive price on stellar quality books. I recently purchased a copy of The Handmaid's Tale for about $9 that was essentially brand new, not a scratch or torn page in sight. Even titles that may seem more obscure can usually be found in the existing inventory or special-ordered! I grabbed a copy of I Heard You Paint Houses (inspiration for the Martin Scorsese film The Irishman) for $8.50 on the website last night and it's already on the hold shelf for me!”
“This book store is wonderful. Everyone that works there is super nice and open to chatting about books.
I had such a great time there and I can't wait to go back!”
“Always love visiting and spending an hour or two here. The coffee bar is a plus! I do wish more new releases were offered in paperback as well as hardcover, but I usually always find what I'm looking for among their large selections.”
“SHG is a lovely little store
I have shopped there for years. The owner is always very helpful.
They carry a variety of beautiful gifts, jcards”
“Wichita is beyond blessed to have this store in our community. The staff is so helpful in finding the perfect book or gift to help grow your faith. Trust me when I say the Holy Spirit is at work within the walls of this store! ✨”
“A great option for used books in West Wichita, at the Central and West Street shopping center. My latest visit reminded me of the sheer size of their collection for sale which makes browsing an interesting walkthrough. The store is a lock for everybody to find books for a wide range of interests and I yet again left with something that will make a good read for myself. The only thing here is that some books seem a bit overpriced for being used so I don’t pick up many hardbacks for that reason. There’s still plenty of value to be found here so I can recommend Book-A-Holic to any reading fan.”

“Cara knew that I would enjoy Father Kline’s book on the Miracles of the Rosary. And she was right! But even better than that, she informed me that he would be there signing copies of his book and I had the pleasure of meeting him and having a nice chat.
I always get the absolute best service here! Thank you!”
“You could spend hours in this store. The genres are largely displayed and they have way more than just books. So much variety, its hard to decide! Love bookstores!”
“Fun store to shop at. Great prices and interesting items. Employees are friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the aisles are so small it is difficult to get by other shoppers with a cart. I signed up for the Ollie's shoppers card and have received some great coupons. Didn't take long either.”
“Haven’t been in a book store for quite a while! To be honest, took the 2 kiddos in here to get them some books for the trip coming up and I ended up with 3 too! Haha! Very nice and clean place with many book options! Staff was helpful too!”
“Closeout bargains great place to buy coffee and bathroom supplies has a small selection of tools and fishing supplies some paint supplies some craft supplies great place to buy books lots of houseware items”
“This place is great. Thousands of movies on both dvd and blu ray. Dvds are 1.95, blu rays are 2.95. They had abunch of CDs. They had a section of video games for 3 bucks. TV Series seasons. I'd definitely recommend this place for physical media collectors”
