Such a lovely bookstore! The organized chaos is part of the charm, and just when you think you've seen it all, there's another section to peruse. My husband, two middle schoolers and I all found a few books each that we were happy to take home. We will definitely return the next time we are in Springfield.

Amazing bookstore. Rooms are piled high with used books from all eras and countries. I found some great art books for a low price.
