I LOVE this bookstore! It's like they took all the amazing parts of a bookstore and made it even better! The books selection is great and the novelties really set this place apart. The exact kind of humor I need in a bookstore. And the staff are extra friendly. Can't recommend this place enough.

This is hands down my favorite bookstore in mid Missouri. The owner and staff are genuinely kind and make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. They host great events and actually ask customers what they want to see in the store. You can tell they really care about their community.

A wonderful place to shop that starts from the moment you step through the doors. A welcoming space that fills my soul everytime I walk through the doors. A favorite of mine is the quirky section names that make me smile every time I browse the incredible selection of books & wares. This is the kind of place that makes you want to get out of the house & shop local.

Absolutely loved my visit to Book/Shop etc.! The store is beautifully curated with such a fun mix of books, gifts, games, stickers, activity books, and unique finds. Every section felt thoughtful and inspiring, and I could have wandered for hours. I especially loved the creative displays like the ‘Blind Date with a Book’ section and the colorful children’s/activity book areas. The atmosphere was bright, welcoming, and full of personality. I ended up leaving with two books, a game, and stickers, and honestly wanted to buy even more. Such a wonderful local bookstore experience — I’ll definitely be back!

Book/Shop, etc. is a radical collaborator in magical memory creation. When my daughter came to visit for my 50th birthday, we watched People We Meet on Vacation together and wanted to hold onto that moment a little longer. I was able to order two copies overnight in the store’s Shop app, as party favors and pick them up in-store the very next day. It was seamless, thoughtful, and made the celebration feel even more special. I’m so grateful to have a local bookstore like this.

A truly local bookshop with exceptional customer service. We were amazed by the local, city, and state themed books. Including Missouir based authors. Something for everyone could be found here, including some items available nowhere else.
