BookMarx is a charming and friendly bookstore located in Springfield's downtown area. The store offers a good selection of books, with reasonably priced new books that are often cheaper than big retailers like Barnes and Noble, though it has a limited range of popular titles. Visitors appreciate the store’s cozy atmosphere, which smells like books and is kept very clean. A highlight for many customers is the presence of two friendly cats that can be pet, adding a unique and delightful touch to the experience. The store has a quiet, peaceful vibe, although some wish it played music to enhance the atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the store occasionally offers surprises, making each visit enjoyable. While the selection of popular and used books could be broader, many find it a pleasant place to browse and find specific titles. Overall, BookMarx is loved for its charm, the cats, and its role as a local favorite.
Great store! I wish they weren't so limited on their selection, but it's understandable. Also...they work wonders with the space they DO have!

It's places like this that give Springfield (and especially the downtown area) a certain charm. Each visit I've had has been enriching and pleasant. I especially love the cat! It's so cute and really adds to the overall experience.

It was great in this little book store. I found 3 books I have been looking for. The big bonus was the 2 sweet cats you can pet. What a nice clean book store. My husband and I can't wait to go again soon.
