Basement Books KC

I love book stores, large or small. This is a cozy smaller book shop, and like other shops you may or may not find something you'll want. But I've visited this shop twice and bought something each time.nnThe books are perfectly grouped with clear shelf tags, and you'll find a lot of fiction and nonfiction both recent and vintage. There are horror and science fiction paperbacks, romance and literary fiction. Maybe the best part is a nice selection of local writers. Any shop that supports the artwork of local folks is the kind of support that really makes a difference in artists' lives.nnThe shop also has magnets and other gifts for book lovers. I highly recommend stopping by and checking out this wonderful shop. The owner is very pleasant and helpful, and makes the visit personally fulfilling. The environment is a great recharge for folks who love books. Go spend some time browsing, it's wonderful.

I came across this cozy, unique, hidden gem on the square. Every shelf captivated my inner child to read and the unique vendors nestled between the books had me doing a double-take; having a wide array of treasures, from fossils to stained glass plants. The selection of books was vast, from children's books to self help books. I found myself lost in the selection; it is the perfect store to get away. The books were very affordable; I found myself carrying 3 home.

very nice place! small and quiet but packed with a lot of books at decent prices. definitely worth the visit if you're in the area

It's my friendly neighborhood bookstore and I love it! Very welcoming atmosphere and staff who are willing to help you find whatever you are looking for. I particularly appreciate the substantial vintage mass market paperback selection that isn't always a given with bookstores.

Have not had the pleasure of shopping here yet, but after the owners post I seen on Facebook, I do plan to make a visit when I’m in town! Thank you! 🤍
