Wise Blood Booksellers Holds Soft Opening in Kansas City, Mo.

Wise Blood Booksellers, a new and used bookstore with a focus on literature, regional presses and up-and-coming authors, held its soft opening this past weekend in Kansas City, Mo.

According to KCUR, the store is an offshoot of Mills Record Company, a new and used record store in the same neighborhood, and is co-owned by Dylan Pyles, who works at Mills Record Company, and Judy Mills, who owns the record store.

"I think this part of Kansas City, especially, craves connection to physical media, and real, tangible art," Pyles, who manages the store, told KCUR. "I think a lot of our approach to buying and selling records translates to books and literature."

A grand opening celebration is scheduled for the weekend of December 13-15, and at opening Mills and Pyles plan to have around 3,500 titles in stock. In addition to books, Pyles will display and sell work by local artists, and event plans include author signings and other literary events.
