Kristian S.Kristian Strom: My favorite independent used bookshop in town. There are currently 3 Bookaholic locations, and all 3 carry an excellent selection with friendly staff. Books are half off the retail cover price.

5. Barnes & Noble

8.8
1920 N Rock Rd (at Bradley Fair), Wichita, KS
Bookstore · 19 tips and reviews

Kristian S.Kristian Strom: Now that Borders is no longer, this is the only game in town for big box retail chains. Although I prefer to buy local at Watermark, Barnes & Noble is a nice place to read, relax and browse.
