Flagship Books

I was pretty unimpressed with the small selection and the higher-than-average prices here. They didn't have anything I really wanted and I don't think I would have bought anything anyway. $8 is too much for me to spend on used books. I don't know if it's because Strawberry Hill is an up-and-coming neighborhood or that's just the way things are now, but the prices were consistently just a bit too high to justify buying anything. Also, the person working there wasn't overly pleasant. It's nice to walk into a store and be greeted and offered help, but that didn't happen. I honestly can't tell if I'm expecting too much because I'm from a pretty friendly small town or if it's an actual issue. I know it's nitpicky, but it matters to me.

I love going to locally owned-bookstores. They just seem to need my help. In a world of digital books, who really needs 'used' books? I guess the good people of KC do. They have a nice selection of paperbacks, hardcovers, puzzles, kids' books. etc. It's a small store so don't expect a huge selection. but there are some nice surprises of newish releases and older copies. be sure to help support this local shop.

As a former independent record store manager, I know the struggle to keep small independent retail media stores open in the internet/Amazon era. When I saw that Flagship Books had closed in NKC's Iron District I surmised that they were another casualty. So, I was greatly pleased that they had jumped the Stateline and reopened in ever increasingly cool neighborhood of Strawberry Hill. .Their store is small, , but well curated. You don't need to fumble through tons of crap to find quality titles. They carry new, used, children's, Spanish language, local....Hopefully they have found a perfect location to thrive as KCK's first independent book store in many decades.

We have been searching for locally owned bookstores, this one came up.Great atmosphere, great selection, variety of different genres. Was pleasantly surprised by the selection.Cozy, great mural on the wall where you can draw in your favorite book on the "book shelf"We left with a arm full of books, thrilled with our "discovery".

Please visit this local business which is open and operating by two brothers who want to give the community a place where kids and families can continue with the tradition of reading physic books, nourishing their knowledge, enjoying the adventure, and getting creative. This place has a variety of books and buying some of them makes you become a supporter of those types of amazing ideas which reconnect us with our traditions. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this quiet environment full of lovely intentions for our youngest, kids, and adults around.!

Great loca bookstore! All about cultivating community and supporting writers and artist the same. I love a neighborhood bookstore that really embodies the meaning of local and small business models knowing that their guest and community are as much a part of their success as other aspects. Something I think a lot of locally owned bookstores in the KCMO/KS area have forgotten. So glad to have this gem here in our city! Stop by and also! Don't forget about all the great events they have coming up!
