KD's Books — Local services in Lee's Summit

My Mom and I wound up coming here because we were trying out a local cafe and I happened to notice that there was a local book store across the tracks from where we were. I am so glad that we decided to head over there and have a look around. From the moment we stepped foot in KD's, we had the most wonderful experience. From the book selection to the stickers they sold we were hooked. They have wonderful mugs and bookmarks that I haven't seen other places. This place also hosts a bunch of book clubs for various genres. They have events for the kiddos and adults alike. They also do this really neat thing where they have "mystery" books. Books that are covered up, the only things know are the genre and a brief bullet point vague description of the book. I didn't buy one yet, but rest assured that I was extremely tempted and that I will be purchasing a "mystery" book, in the literary fiction section, in the near future. This has become one of two places that I really look forward to for my book purchasing needs. Highly recommended for others that identify as book nerds, book worms, library aficionadas, and all around love the...

I love this bookstore and it's one of the only places in Lee's Summit to get children's books.

Selection: It's definitely much smaller than a Barnes & Nobel, a lot like Meg Ryan's bookstore in "You've Got Mail". But they actually have a quite a great selection of books. The whole front of the store is all children's books and in the back room they have a selection of used adult books. They also carry a nice selection of adult coloring books which is quite a fad right now.

Service: The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the books and the authors which I appreciate when looking for the best books based on an age or reading level. They always have a nice seasonal selection too to spotlight books based on the nearest holiday. I have had them order books for me and they usually arrive within 1 week and they will call you when the book comes in.

Price: The books are priced at what they would be at any store, but they do have a nice buyer's card that gives you credit every time you purchase books to eventually earn $5 off your...

This is a nice little kids book store. Honestly not the store for me, I was hoping it'd have a little more for me, but honestly that's just what it is. The 3 stars isn't because it wasn't a nice book store for kids, it definitely was, but in that niche, it's nothing special. It feels more like a boutique store than one I'd want to actually get a book for my neices or God-daughter. It's all priced to cost so not over priced, but I'd probably go somewhere else if looking for kids books. Maybe something with more wow factor. Or with more appeal for other ages as well. I've been to kids stores that pull me in with kid-like wonder, even it was targeted towards another generation. Either way. It's a nice store, if you are walking by with youngsters it's worth a stop inside, but you might find yourself creeping to go back outside...
