Since moving here from Texas this is been the greatest find and makes me feel like it’s a little bit of Austin., The staff couldn’t be more friendlier or knowledgeable or helpful. If they don’t have it they can get itPlease I want everyone to support this local store as this is America!, as America should be and once was.
One of Kalamazoo’s hidden gems. I recommend it to anyone looking for that hard to find book or magazine. Wonderful staff.
Outstanding local news stand where you can get the Sunday newspaper from Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Detroit, AND New York. Fantastic selection of magazines and extremely friendly service. If you have not visited yet, please go. (And bring cash!)
Best place to shop for periodicals. All kinds of off beat rags and local writing. Friendly staff and they support the Detroit Tigers. Beats the heck out of the big box, chain book stores that all look the same no matter what town that youre in. This is a Kalamazoo icon. Help support this great local business.
I love the nostalgia. The clerk is so sweet and helpful, and they have everything you could want. Books, magazines, magnets, candy, etc.
Very friendly staff. They have new titles, but take a little digging to find. A vintage place that deserves good local business. Take your time here
I normally support local brick and mortar shops but I will not be shopping here, no matter how eclectic their collection is. My husband saw the ad looking for help, so he inquired within the store. The owner told him that his inquiry was unnecessary because they dont employ your kind here. He asked for clarification. She stated that she knew he and his family were homeless and that she doesnt hire bums. What a shame. He is a white man, late 40s, with a masters degree. While he may be over qualified, pointing out that her establishment didnt hire homeless individuals is unnecessary. Not every homeless person is a criminal but Kalamazoo as a whole treats them that way. How sad and disgusting.
This place is an iconic piece of history. Above excellent customer service. Knowledge staff. If theydont have what you needed, it will be ordered in for you.
Amazing store! I absolutely love it and the woman at the desk was the nicest person!
Simply the best selection in town from comics to periodicals to novels. Truly a gem here in Kalamazoo.
Great Magazine & Newspaper selection. Nice selection of books too. Very friendly staff.
Great local spot. They keep back issues of local papers too, which is great if youre looking for old obituaries or articles
Ive been shopping there many, many years and have purchased hundreds of books and magazines.
Always better than a corporate book store. Amazing variety for the size of the place.
This is a great bookstore in a great news stand. I love going to downtown Kalamazoo and visiting this place
Great local buy! Please support! Only place in town anymore that you can get a New York Times
It is my go to place for fun. In a day and age of tapping screens this place where you turn pages is a treasure chest.
Interesting store. But always great to support small places.
The best place in Kalamazoo for newspapers, magazines, local information, and interesting books - a delightful place to wander around and discover - a genuine Kalamazoo treasure!
Great newstand with a variety of newspapers, books, and current magazines. Independent and valuable!
They have a wonderful selection of newspapers and magazines.
Excellent selection, friendly staff, cool atmosphere. Organization is a little hard to follow.
Great place to get all kinds of periodicals. Very friendly staff.
Cant get enough of this place! You can find everything and more.
They have everything and are really nice people.
A favorite for decades! Always stocks my favorite magazines.
Hard to find a parking spot. Been around for years. Can get literature that is hard to find elsewhere.
Had to get our Harry Styles Vogue fix
Always helpful staff..plenty to read
They didnt have the books I was looking for
Always a fun place to visit

2022-06-05A downtown gem since 1947, 2d generation family owned/managed newsstand & bookstore. Extensive international magazine selections, including: design, travel, fashion, cooking, wine & liquor, health, motorcycles & sport. Strong selection of childrens books, including Spanish language. Absolutely adore!

2021-11-13A wonderful experience on a day trip to Kalamazoo! The kind of store you dont see much anymore, stocking not only new books, but plenty of magazines, zines and scholarly journals you wont find anywhere else, plus some graphic novels and a great selection of candy/gum that really brought me back to my childhood. I came away with mags for myself, my girlfriend and friends, as well as a book Ive long wanted at a reasonable price. Happy to support a local business with a strong presence and identity! Staff were friendly as well!

2019-10-16In this day and age of the sterility of words and images locked behind a backlit, high resolution touchscreen, the first thing I noticed when I stepped in the doors of this traditional seller of newspapers, magazines, and books was the smell-the wonderful smell of paper, like the libraries of my 1970s childhood. Excellent and varied selection of magazines, paperback books both new and used. I was pleasantly surprised to see racks of comic books and graphic novels, some that I had not seen since the mid-1980s. Very friendly and helpful staff. While I love the advanced technology we have today that makes our lives smoother and easier, nothing will replace the smell and feel of holding a printed book or magazine in my hand. Great place.

2021-05-09Great small business with a fun selection of readables plus at least 3 regulars coming in for the mornings paper during our visit. Love that kind of old school community feel and cant wait to return.

2020-11-24Derek Jeter is not the only shortstop from Kalamazoo. My husbands new book, The Shortstop from Kalamazoo, The Life and Times of Neil Berry was accepted into Michigan News Agencys Creative Endeavor Project. Dean shared the origins of the project. Great Story. Be sure to ask. Signed copies of the book are in the sports section. Thank you Michigan News Agency.

2019-09-04The owner is amazing, and this really is one of the best places in Kalamazoo. They have scads of magazines, journals, books, manga, and newspapers (local and national). I prefer to buy all my magazines there.
