If you have been frequenting the big box book stores, youre missing out. I have passed by this place hundreds of times, and always wondered what it was like. My daughters and I decided to stop in one day and we are so incredibly glad we did. The prices here are roughly half or slightly over half of what the prices are in the big book stores. The selection is not as massive, but you can find some real gems in here that you cant find anywhere else. Looking for something special, they can order it. They just recently expanded to the building next to them, available by walkway connecting the buildings, and have added an extensive YA collection, and excellent Manga and graphic novel selection that is growing constantly. I walked out with a book, my oldest daughter talked with one of the ladies there and instantly connected with her and found some things she wanted, and my youngest ordered a brand new Manga shes been looking for. The people here are honestly some of the nicest, friendliest people youll ever meet. They love what they do and it really shows in the excitement they display when they are helping you. Very highly recommended. I know for me and my daughters, they have made 3 new lifetime customers.

Kazoo Books is wonderful. It is a shopping gem in Kalamazoo that I always bring visitors to. They have an ever expanding collection, they are involved with readers in the community, and they put the extra touches to sell products that many places may not. For instance, they have expanded into a comics section in their annex. I am not a huge comics guy (but I appreciate them) but I appreciated how they packaged editions together and sold them at a flat price that is totally reasonable. For instance, they had a collection of the highly sought after DC Crisis on Infinite Earths for an unbelievably low price. The staff are friendly and somethimes they are open to chat. I like rare and weird books and theyve got that too. I never feel judged for buying that super nerdy sci-fi novel, a cheap pulp novel for the cover, or that next gem for my non-mainstream spirituality/psychology collection. Go here and support them, they even host book clubs. Hats off to Kazoo Books!

Amazing selection where you can find just about anything. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Its a very quiet, cozy atmosphere with books literally in every corner so if youre not looking for something in particular, its nice to explore and discover something new. Prices are very fair and youre bound to find what you need.

The staff are exceptionally helpful and enthused about their work. I always pre-order my books here - they make it very easy. I have been able to get a good return on trade in as well. Good selection!

AMAZING! I only got through about 3/4 of the main floor, then the clerk asked if I had checked out the Other floors... Well organized & fairly priced; good mix of used & new.
