Welcome to Rainy Day Books. We're glad you're here.

Since 1975, Rainy Day Books has been located in the heart of Kansas City in the midtown suburb of Fairway, Kansas. Just five minutes west of The Country Club Plaza, Rainy Day Books is in the Fairway Shops, located at the intersection of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Belinder Road.

Rainy Day Books is a full-line new bookstore, carrying an array of hand-selected hardcovers and paperbacks for adults and children alike. We also carry a selection of boxed and individual greeting cards. Among our personal services: we special order books daily, provide complimentary gift wrapping, and we hand-select appropriate gifts for pickup or shipment.

Our Author Events schedule is one of the nation's best. Each year we welcome dozens of authors to Kansas City, from debut novelists destined for greatness, to prize-winners, bestselling legends, and the biggest names in the news. Most of these events are held off-site, at venues that comfortably seat the large crowds we draw.

Our Loyal Customer program rewards your repeat patronage. Purchase one book in-store, and we'll add you to our Loyal Customer database. You'll save 10% on most in-stock books, and 20% on hardcovers currently listed on the New York Times Bestseller list. No card to carry, no annual fee. You'll automatically remain in the program as long as you make one purchase every six months.
