It's spacious with lovely greenery and reading nooks--and it has a Harry Potter room! The kids section has heart-melting tiny cushion seats for the littlest readers in your life. No space is wasted here as you'll see bookish tokens from totes, socks, and pencil pouches placed in various locations. The main space has comfy couches, great lighting, and it almost makes you feel like you're reading in an English garden. Fabulous selection of used and new with fair prices. The owner was a gem and so nice to chat with. If I lived in Springfield, I would be here all the time. I'm definitely coming back to stay in "Sleep Above the Shop" space.

It's a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Springfield. After work I usually look forward to stopping in to just relax, browse books and admire all of the crystals, stones and gems. ( I work a few blocks from their location). I always feel I can trust in the store's advice and reputation as a Crystal shop. I enjoy the friendliness of staff and their knowledge. All of the staff members are very patient and strive to help you with every facet of your shopping experience. I absolutely love their Crystal Collection!

Disorganized mess. Incorrect labels/signs leading you on goose chases. Unhelpful staff that is…read moreborderline rude. Additionally, there are no restrooms - so while you're lost trying to find books, following incorrect labeling, and navigating the otherwise chaotic disorderliness, you can rest assured that they will be unaccommodating. I recently took my family here, and as we were compiling a stack of books worth a couple of hundred dollars (we're working to stock our home library built-in shelves), our toddler son needed to use the restroom. We asked if he could use theirs, and they said no. Rather than spending my money with them, I left my stack of books where they were and took my son to the restroom at Barnes & Noble, where I continued my book shopping. As for the bulk of used books I need, I can obtain them via Amazon and AbeBooks, and don't have to support a rude local business that is unhelpful and falls short of providing a quality experience. Why shop local when you can shop at the giants who care about their customers? I will never return.

Within one minute of flipping through the book (i.e. not a thorough search), I found twelve instances of marginalia. There is also a prominently-sized name and date written in pen on the inside cover page. No marks indeed! I suspect lack of care in inspection rather than purposeful deceit. But either way, beware of false descriptions.

And the best thing is that they are cataloged by years, alphabetically, genres. So easy to go throw. Unlike when you go to an antique store.

It's a smaller shop but it's got a ton of good stuff packed in. We looked through the vinyls as we have a friend who has a record player and debated a couple of options, but didn't end up leaving with anything cause we just weren't sure what she already had. Overall: A+ Great vinyl shop with plenty to offer. Pop in and grab something new for your music collection!

We wanted to shop here for Bible carry cases, Christian fiction and birthday gifts and magazines…read more We purchased 3 out of 4 of those items. I bought a beautiful blue faux leather case and 2 new novels. My sister found plenty of gifts for her grandchildren. It's larger inside than it appears from street. They have Bibles, history books, novels, devotionals, autobiographies, children's books for all reading levels and homeschooling materials. There's also a small selection of T-shirts and coffee cups. We signed up for their discount program as we definitely intend to shop here again. The prices are reasonable and the selections are wonderful. We got a kick out of their "self checkout".

They keep LGBTQ book displays up year-round and not just at Pride! They also have a banned books display all year round. I also enjoy the events they host, i've been making new friends at the k-pop meetups they host and they also hold book release parties and author signings that are great. Only complaint is i wish they still had a music section.
