The Real McCoys
Who We Are
We began as two bookstores, one in Kona and a
second store in Hilo (829A Leilani St..)  However, the
Hilo store was sold in 2010 and reopened under new
management.  Same location for now.  We
encourage patrons to stop by and check it out.      
Island Naturals
The tenant of the front building, ISLAND
NATURALS Kona market and deli celebrate their
third anniversary on February 13th.  They sell
fresh, organic and locally grown produce, plus
their Deli makes delicious hot food or
sandwiches.  Not hungry? Try their fresh juice bar.  
 
Books, CDs, DVDs and More
It is impossible to list the thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks (CD only)
and more that make up the contents of Kona Bay Books.  Whether you are a visitor to
the islands or resident, we hope you will make us a destination.  NOTE:  We no
longer accept VHS or audiobooks on cassette for trade or sale.
