Restoration Bookstore: what do users think?
Tj: Amazing book store with true Christian values
Trevor Carlile: Very knowledgeable staff and large selection!
Kenneth Soper: Lots of restoration supplies
Jared Hawk: I couldn't find an affordable copy in Boise, so I just ordered the Inspired Version of the Bible from Kathy at the Restoration Bookstore. She was incredibly nice and knowledgeable, and the scriptures are very affordable. Cant wait to get the bible!

Jake guitar, piano and cello: Great little book shop with soul stirring stories inside. Very nice people.
Tyler Harris: This cozy little store has some unique offerings for anyone interested in Mormon history in Missouri. Most of their publications are from the RLDS/Community of Christ branch, but several of them can be enjoyed by people of any faith or denomination. Some of their offerings would turn up the nose of any historian or scholar (for example, their most popular book is an exhibition of poor scholarship titled "Joseph Smith Fought Polygamy"), but there is treasure to be found if you look around!

Blue & Grey Book Shoppe: what do users think?
Aisling Conway: Betty's great and has a very niche little shop, especially if you're interested in Missouri history and Civil War history. She also has some homemade things like doll clothes and dish towels that you can see in the photo. She was awesome! Thanks again Betty! 😊
Kansas Man: I made a purchase from this bookseller online at a site called Biblio.com. The communication was excellent and also the shipping was done swift and quickly. Received the book I ordered from them in great condition and nicely packed with a thank you note. Already in the works of making another purchase from them here soon. I would highly recommend this bookseller to anyone looking for old past time books, because they have them in stock in top condition. Will be doing business here for now on if they have what I'm looking for.

Mardel Christian & Education: what do users think?
Roxanne Thierry: This store is so beautiful!! The workers are so sweet and nice!! I never knew this store was here until the day of, got my 30% off coupon from a nice customer!! Beautiful customer service ladies!! I will be returning!!
Janine/Dave Gash: Great
Jessica Stanton: Didn’t realize we still had Bible bookstores around. Nice to be able to put hands on materials before purchase instead of purchasing and hoping it’s what I think it is going to be.
Darren Tharp: It's a nice store for the most part.I don't really like being made to feel as if THEY are doing you a favor by serving your needs. That's a bit off-putting but the store is very well stocked.
Kristin Dukes: I didn't realize that this was strictly a Christian store. I was looking for some Catholic gifts and a Hebrew study Bible. They only had a couple of items that somewhat matched what I was looking for. They also seem to not have anything geared towards LGBTQIA study Bible or books. The staff were friendly enough but not as helpful as I was hoping.
Michael Nations: Excellent store with friendly staff
Lisa Tracy: I would love to see more homeschool curriculum on the shelves. It appears they only have one copy of most books. I like having a resource close by for homeschooling materials.
Jill Shinn: Nice store. .
Michael rogers: Went there to pick up a book for the men's group and bought one for myself and one or the person who forgot to buy, worderful store, there was on up north where we live and it closed several years ago, refreshing place to go.
Susan Johnson: I love this store! Being a Christian, I can get everything I need for my faith and then things for the grandkids, friends who have lost loved ones gifts, ect. Great place, great people.

Ray Hibdon: I loved their seasonal items for spring.
Kevin Winn: Awesome store and awesome employees that work here. They have great selections of bibles, books, t-shirts/hoodies, and gifts to get for family & friends. There are some weird customers and ‘strange characters’ that like to do non-Christ-like stuff at this store, but .. that’s just about everywhere now, unfortunately. Check out Hobby Lobby next door, too! I could spend hours at these two stores.
mark neufeld: Great place!
Ricky Ramirez: So grateful they were open and the staff was so sweet and kind.Thank you!
Dona Lichtenthaler: They were very friendly and helpful. One can literally lose them selves looking at every thing. It's a very popular store.

Go! Calendars Games Toys & Books: what do users think?
Jamie Bishop: Went to this store today and the young man behind the counter literally was texting the entire time he was checking me out. I even had to stand there while he finished a text between the person in front of me and my transaction. Did I mention he didn't say two words other than my total. Maybe bad management??
Comrade Autukov: Its got calendars and it's got games what more do you want
Go Cards: Nice little toy store! 😀👍🏼
Sarah W: Found a game with a sale sticker on it. When I went to check out they wouldn’t honor it. Just took the sticker off and walked away. Sticker was on all of the same games. Independence Mall location.
Dallas Hall: The staff here are so helpful and very friendly. I was looking for a game and they took me right to it! I deffently would recommend to go here to shop for calendars and games.

Prospero's Books: what do users think?
ana rivera: Super cool place to visit. 3 floors full of all kind of books, I love the basement floor, they have solace for you to sit and enjoy a book. Cool decorations that accent the place. Third floor have has a nice view. And also has a psychics that reads your hand if you are into those things. Overall super cool place.
Justin Stawarz: This is the best book store there is. Three stories of floor to ceiling books. You never know what you'll find and it changes every day. They give great rates on trade ins and the owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. They're a KC institution, heavily invested in their community. You're not likely to find book sellers like this anywhere else.
Ana O.: Amazing 3-story boom store! I was overwhelmed with so many books! I loved all the messages written and the creaks made from ppl walking on the main floor. Good priced books.
David Goode: It's a fun book shop experience.
Kelsey DeHart: Wonderful store and very cool to look through but the children’s section left much to be desired.
Daniel Langston (DaOneEyedBear): Really cheap prices, they sell & trade, also have $1 paperbacks outside the place, not bad. Good place to come and chill/read as well. Three floors of used books, comics, CDS, and movies!

Willa's Books and Vinyl: what do users think?
Frank Scott: If you live and love history, books and music lp's, this is the place to be. You will love it.
Tommy Verstraete: Small, intimate bookstore with a cool environment and a conscientious owner. 🙂When we walked in they turned on some music for us while we browsed and were ready to answer any questions we had about the books.I was impressed by being surrounded by all the history. There was a roomful of books old and new and an entire room devoted to old records and jazz memorabilia. Will definitely be coming back for more purchases. I picked out three books but had to choose one.
D. Franklin: What a great time we had in the Lord! Willa's book store in KCMO a must visit. You'll find a lot of one- of-a-kind materials. Be prepared to explore history....all history but it was the Black history content that stole the show for me. I can't wait to go back. Thanks again, to Willa's book store for hosting my cousin and featured author Mrs. Deborah Fleming 1st book signing event. It's was an awesome experience and Ms. Willa and her family are a beautiful group of blessed women ❤️This is a five star bookstore 🌟Let support our "Black" owned bookstores.
R L: Great selection of hard to find African American artists on vinyl and 78's. In addition, great conversation with a knowledgeable lady. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely return.
Tucker Porter: Lovely bookstore with a nice selection of used vinyl.
Matthew Moore: Wiila is a kind soul offering books unavailable anywhere else. I'm trying to get there again today!
Aaron Erlendsson: Willa and her store are an absolute gem - her collection spans decades of out of print books, and I didn't even get around to digging through the vast vinyl archive! For book and vinyl lovers you could spends days pouring over the lovingly curated selection of works - my favorite bookshop in KC.
Phillip McCann (Phil): Fantastic little black owned book store. The owner is very very nice.
Evan Smith: Alot of hidden gems an rare finds but it's pricey too though. One of the best african american book selections in the city.
Nathan Williams: What a great hidden gem. I thought I would pop in for a quick peek and 2.5 hours later I was totally consumed. Everything from antique classics to children's books. Willa had her jazz music playing and everything was wonderful.
Marion Williams: Always something eye catching
Nell Hull: The selection at Willa’s is incredibly well hand picked. The records are in perfect shape and the books are very fairly priced. You can find topics from the civil rights movement and current political activism to cookbooks, African history, and religion. There’s always a record playing and new stuff to look at! It’s a store you’ll want to return to time and again.
Russ Cooper: Willa had the book I was after, shipped same day and I had it two days later. Great buying experience...highly recommend! Hope to stop by personally on my next trip to KC.
Ben Schnelle: Willa has an amazing selection of records and books, plus she’s really helpful, kind, and offers great deals too

Sara Mango: We know what cheating looks like.LongoChris Young.Marislucia Battiglania.Thanks.See you next year.Kill my fetus.- Mark/Gino MAUSA.
Loren T. Walker: Best selection in the city.
SevanM83: a lot of stuff but not very organized
Christine Bofenkamp: Fresh vibe to books. I love shopping more at random than by author. Also, great AC on a melt your face off hot day. 🔥
Andi Kahclamat: A neat shop with antisocial service. I found several books to buy. The clerk forbade us from petting the dog wandering around the shop saying she's grossed out by the idea of all the customer germs on the dog. The dog wanted to be petted and was friendly, and we were scolded for allowing the dog to touch a person when the dog leaned against my friend.
Jordan Swartz: A great book store with a wide selection of new & used books. It was hard to leave with only 2 books. Staff was friendly & helpful. They also have great shirts
Alejandra González: You can spend hours here if you like records. Huge amount of them
Spencer Lewis: I ordered on line
Robert Foreman: Great staff, great books.
Shanee “Lady Savage Red” Martin: Friendly service while attempting to locate books.
Amanda Hunt: Very friendly people!
Vincent Giaconia: Cute little bookstore! Wonderful and respectful staff who are willing to have a conversation! Good selection, not enough Stephen King, but there never is...Relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and a great little spot to spend an afternoon!
Alex Marban: Love place.
Brandy Coleman: This is a unique bookstore. It's like a sanctuary for me!
BurnettDriskill Attorneys: Wiseblood is an excellent resource and a treasure.
Cindy E: Great indie bookstore with nice selection of new and used books. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Muriel Fogarty: Really lovely spot! So friendly, has a really inviting environment, and lots of great books in an organized, easy-to-browse layout.
Peter Mishler: Beautiful store, kind people, welcoming atmosphere--found a title I didn't know I wanted until I saw it, and I was really pleased to see it there. Thank you--
Dan J. Murtaugh: I stumbled upon Wise Blood Booksellers by accident while on my way to the Wesport Post Office. Any bookstore acts as a virtual magnet for me, a place where I can spend hours browsing and discovering new reads. I was really astonished by the selection of books--used and new--offered at Wise Blood, and ably curated by Dylan. As I don't often get to discuss books, I'm afraid I bent Dylan's ear completely out of shape, but he was quite patient, had a lot to offer in the way of recommendations, was extremely well-read, and was very open to suggestions for enhancing an already very fine assortment of books. The store is comfortable and easily navigable. There were a few interesting surprises, such as LPs residing among books, and tiny book-cover match boxes at the checkout counter which added to the uniqueness of my experience. This is one of the best bookstores I've visited in quite awhile, and suggest that any book lover, reader, or even vaguely-interested shopper who enters this store will be amply rewarded.
Micah Sievenpiper: Surprisingly good selection for such a small footprint, and the staff is more than willing to help you find what you're looking for, even if it's not in stock. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a great local bookstore.
