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.

While in a city I don't come to much, I look for used bookstores. I was in Columbia, MO I found…read morethis used bookstore and thought Awesome! Now I can trade in these gently used books (about 3 walmart bags). And they were mostly well known authors. The owner (manager?) did not want Any of them. That's when I noticed that his stock was all hippie dippy woke CRAP..so I guess for those of you readers out there that enjoy this kind of time and energy wasting nonsense, you probably think of this as a great place to go to, I don't. You do you!

A bookshop and an Airbnb...are you kidding me??? This converted house is the setting for the…read morebookshop of my dreams. 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 bookstore is okay if you like old books. They have a ton of used books. A lot of them are…read morereally old and antique.

Jinx is now Well Read Books. I finally made it over to Fulton to check it out…read more It looks like a different store! The piles of books are gone. It's organized. There are signs for the different section. Staff (owner?) was friendly and helpful. I took some books to trade in and about half of what I brought was accepted, which is better than at some stores. I got an old paperback copy of a book I've been seeking in stores for a couple of years. There was good variety in the store and a nice local/Missouri history section. The cat is still there, so I'm happy as can be with Well Read Books. I will make a point of visiting again soon in the future.
