I am glad and also disappointed that this lovely little shop is across town from me. If I were any…read morecloser it would certainly be bad for my wallet. I was in the Park Hills neighborhood dog sitting this week and almost missed Kazoo Books. I took a sharp turn in because I had to check it out. The staff is engaging and pleasant and they have load and loads of books, practically everything you would find in B&N for same value or less (they have preowned books too). I will always prefer to shop small business and now I have a perfect excuse to become a regular customer of Kazoo Books and you should too :)

I'm so mad at myself for not going to this place sooner and yet I live so close to it…read more It's such a precious and invaluable bookstore that I've always longed for. I love how the owner interacts and gives you suggestions. I cannot wait to be back again to sit down and read the book that was ordered.

I absolutely adore this gem of a book and news store. Founded in 1947 and still run by the same…read morefamily, Michigan News Agency is amazing. But first, I want to let you know that this place is like the TARDIS. You will be astounded when you walk in and see what reading treasures await. Whether you're looking for a newspaper, magazine, graphic novels, or books of all genres, you will find it here. The owner, Dean (who is absolutely marvelous and a mainstay of our lovely town) can also special order any book you'd like. We've been to several events (before Covid), which were especially interesting. It is like going to a book chat and finding a room full of friends. I'm so grateful for this crucial business, right downtown, and open EVERY single day. I'm never far away from reading, thanks to them! Highly recommended.

My husband had something to do in town today so he brought me by to spend some birthday money,…read moresince my birthday was on Thursday. I bought 3 books, totaling $38 and some change. All 3 were about traveling in America which is right up my alley because we typically go on one big trip a year. One of the books was specifically about National Parks and during our trip in June we plan to go to at least 3 National Parks. The store was very well organized and (despite probably being smaller) felt bigger than the Mishawaka location. Everything was easy to find and displayed nicely. Lots of books were even discounted, which was also nice. Employees were nice and made checkout easy. I do tend to prefer small/locally owned stores, but as far as Barnes & Noble go, this location is pretty cool.

This Barnes and Noble is one of the larger ones and has an amazing selection. I found a book that…read morewas not in stock at two other book stores I tried. Bill, a team member, was very helpful in locating the book. This is the place to explore and find your next awesome reading adventure.

We came to Kalamazoo with three places to go, Farefare being one of the places. We hadn't realized…read morethey moved down the road a bit (guess it had been longer than we thought since we last came) so they now have their own private parking lot which is nice. Their selection of comics is colossal, the main reason we come back. Their game selection is also phenomenal and they even have a "game cage" for table top games to happen in store. Kids also have game and comic options as well as stuffed animals that are great for all ages. Staff is friendly, greeting us as we entered and various employees asking if we needed help with anything during our visit. We got what we wanted and continued our adventure. I'm glad we make FanFare a regular Kalamazoo stop and am already looking forward to coming back.

We were driving by and my son saw the giant action figures on the windows. I was forced to stop by…read more My sons both loved this place. There is so much so it can be a little overwhelming. We spend an hour in there. There was a section where kids could play games or trade cards. They had a lot of cute things for girls too. The selection was beyond great here.

My husband loves both buying things here and trading in his trading cards that he has had graded. The owner is super cool and really knows his stuff about what comes in and out of his store. Whether you like TCG games, legos, Funko pops, comic books or even figurines, they will have something for you to get excited about. Definitely will be coming back sooner than later.

I received this voicemail after leaving my review. To clarify, I was upset due to poor…read morecommunication and lack of transparency regarding my order--not because I misunderstood shipping costs. At no point did I request cancellation; that decision was made by the seller without my consent. I would have preferred a professional explanation and a solution rather than dismissive language and assumptions. Customer service and communication matter, especially when delays or issues arise. I'm sharing this so other customers are aware of how concerns are handled.
