Olive Tree Books N Voices — Local services in Springfield

I, for one, love the classics and enjoy collecting antique books and quite enjoyed myself here. Many of their older books (away from the windows) have aged very well. I purchased two of Hemingway's novels, another smaller antique book, and a fictional hardback from the 70s, with a very "period" cover. We spent the better part of an hour in there, enjoying the opportunity to browse!

Check out is toward the front, where a husband and wife team sit and chat, read, or browse the web. Being in business for 34 years (!), you know they really have a true love for literature and I really hope they have no intention of closing down. Their prices are pretty affordable: the four books (2 classics, 1 antique, and 1 retro) came to about $14. And, as a note, they do accept debit cards for purchases over $10. A sign spattered about the store claims that most books are 50% off, unless written otherwise...

Excellent bookstore, has such a variety of books and if u don't find what you're looking for it can be ordered. Good selection of greeting cards as well. I recently purchased a book for my niece to read to her son. Nice place to sit and have a cup of coffee, tea or water. The children's room is a comfy room to sit and read with your child. It's a nice gathering place. It's a nice place to bring a small class for a field trip. My daughter brought her class once. Zee also has authors to come read from their work and do book signing. ...

This spot is a place you have to visit to truly appreciate. Owner, Zee Johnson, welcomes you in and it is home. I LOVE her! You will find all kinds of treasures of African American history, philosophy, literature, etc, in addition to irresistible knick knacks, all reasonably priced. And if you can't find something, Zee will order it. Olive Tree is an outstanding business that keeps us going with pride and love. I hope it remains an institution in our community for many...
