The owner & staff seem to have put a lot of thought into which brands, etc. to stock and were very knowledgeable, incredibly friendly & wonderfully patient when assisting this "new" OCD dad. I also might add that the experience certainly exceeded that of any previous trip to a "superstore" toy aisle.

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.

This is a fairly new, great little intelligentsia-friendly bookstore. Walking in at first, I…read morethought maybe the inventory was low and the shelves hadn't been put up yet, as I'm used to used book stores that have piles of books everywhere with boxloads of garage sale crap that one has to wade through like to find diamonds in the rough. I usually get a kick out of that feeling until a half-hour later when the weight of utter futility has set in and I realize, indeed, I'm not finding anything decent and I learn what it must be like to live in a Soviet-style dictatorship where someone has cruelly banned the Vonneguts and whatnot. That type of materialistic capitalist hoarding hasn't set in at this bookstore, and least not as-of the date I went last. They looked to specialize more in classics, notable modern authors, and well-reviewed contemporary works. Out of all the used book stores I've been to (a fair amount), this one is the furthest left on the quality-quantity balance, and that's not a bad thing. Prices seemed reasonable and the books look to be in good condition. Staff seemed chill and it sounds like they accept store credit if you have good material to give them (I have convinced myself that the bartering for property rights in material goods is for ironic purposes only). If you feel any comradeship with those with liberal arts pedigrees or are just one of those folks who needs more than potboiler books of the petit bourgeoisie, this place would be an excellent option. Party approved.

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.

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 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".
