I am here for Friends

About Me



Karen Davis and Thelma Kidd opened Davis-Kidd Booksellers in 1980, in a 1,200 square foot space on Hillsboro Road. Twenty-five years, 4 relocations, 7 expansions, 1 owner, millions of books, and untold General Managers later, we're still going strong, in a new 36,000 square foot showcase store adjoining the Green Hills Mall. Visit us at our website at www.daviskidd.com.
