Bookends in the Kailua Shopping Center is one of the few independent bookstores remaining. Although it has neither the physical size nor the selection of the national chains, the book-loving staff are more than willing to help you find what you're looking for. Both new and used books are mixed on the shelves, and quite a bit of inventory is stacked in the narrow aisles.
Prices are basically retail for new books and varies on the used books depending on condition. Parking can get tight in the shopping center's lot but a stall can eventually be found as long as you're patient.
