“Visited BLK + BRWN on a trip to KC and loved it! A small but intimate book store experience. The owner was an excellent source for new and old books. They host regular book talks and other events. As a reader, I ALWAYS support small bookstores. Make sure you stop by for a book and great conversation!!!”

“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.)”

“What's not to love about a big ol' bookstore? It's three floors of books to explore and a fourth for movies and music. It's got a cozy little Starbucks inside, it's great. I mean, I advocate for the locally owned independent book stores, but if you gotta go chain it could be a lot worse than ol' B&N”
“A wonderful hidden gem - Willa is lovely and helpful if you’re looking for a certain author or books by topic. Great for books by BIPOC authors, history, activism, music. Great collection of vintage LPs/records.”
“Even though I love the Catholics, I am not Catholic. And even though I was raised Catholic and attended parochial school, I am now just your basic nondenominational evangelical Christian. Denominational preferences notwithstanding, I visited the I. Donnelly Company for some religious iconography. I thought those days were behind me, but life is funny sometimes. My daughter, who is an Avila University alum and also not Catholic, greatly admires St. Teresa of Avila and asked for a desktop statue of her. We have come full circle. I called first to ask if they had an appropriately sized St. Teresa statue before I drove out to 66th and Troost. The young woman I spoke to on the phone was incredibly helpful; she made it her mission to make sure I acquired tiny St. Teresa. Amazingly, they had 2 in different styles. I stopped in that afternoon and the statues were waiting for me behind the counter. I appreciated the eager service. I have to say, that store is packed to the gills with all things Catholic. I imagine the truly devout could browse for hours. I didn't have time to look at everything but you could put together awesome gift packs for communions, baptisms, confirmations, nuns... any Catholic function or person, really. But my favorite items were the sainted socks. That's right. Socks with saints on them. And they had tons. You are bound to find your patron saint on those racks. Anyway, peace be with you.”
“Went there for a book on tarot cards that we seen online. Initially they could not find it but they did not stop looking till they found it. Great customer service.”
“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.”
“Stopped in for the record selection. It's a great selection that you can spend all day digging through. Plus they have books which is another great hobby of mine.”
“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.”

“Haven't been here in a bit but happily sold some books and bought some more. Sometimes you'll get more than you expect, other times less, but it is really a community service they are performing offering a way to keep those books moving on to new owners. :-)”
