Kinokuniya Carrollton

this location is way bigger than the plano location! they had a pretty good selection of jellycats to choose from. as well as some cool little collectible items that i love. i will definitely be coming back! the location can be very busy at certain times of the day, so be aware of that if you want to find parking!

Kinokuniya Books has such a cute and wide selection of Manga, Stationary, Pens, and just about everything in between. I came here for their ink selection and fountain pens. Their prices are a little high but they carry all you could need so it’s worth it for a one stop shop. The staff is nice but stretched thin with tasks so more help is needed to help customers with the locked cases. Usually crowded but easy to navigate.

After visiting a Kinokuniya in Seattle over the summer, I was ECSTATIC to learn that there were two locations in the metroplex. Out of the two, this one is far bigger with a great selection of manga, anime merch, gifts, and Japanese stationary, pencils, and pens. The atmosphere of the store is laid back and cozy, and I spent quite some time just looking through all the goods that they have. It's a wonderful place to buy some goods for yourself, get high quality stationary, and get gifts for your friends.

P.S. - As I'm sure you can already tell, this isn't your ordinary bookstore. The few books for sale are almost all in Japanese. The rest of the books are manga and artbooks, some in Japanese, some in English. Don't come here expecting history books and Agatha Christie. :)

This is such an interesting book store. There are many unique finds if you are looking for gifts and or if your looking for something for yourself. They have a variety of pens, paper, cards, unique teddy bears and loads of anime books, posters, and figurines. I will be going back often.
