As much as I enjoy bookstores, I dont frequent them nearly enough which might be for the best considering my collection of unread masterpieces. This place has changed my mind on that and has absolutely inspired me to support such an awesome establishment.Primarily, their customer service and communication skills are absolutely *chefs kiss* perfection. Ive been searching for an affordable version of part of a manga series and they found the volume at a reasonable price, provided simple invoicing, and then let me know it was ready for pick up.Now, through no fault of their own, I realized I had ordered the wrong volume. I was still pleased with service and was going to take the book with me and they decided to refund me ON TOP OF THAT. I was pleasantly surprised and touched by the gesture! That went above and beyond my expectations and Im excited to do lasting business with this shop going forward. Plus the shop is hella cute and deserves lots of perusing!
We stopped at Pagination Bookshop on our way to St. Louis and we were so glad we did! This bookshop has a fantastic selection of new and used books and the staff is so friendly as well! If you’re in the area, definitely check it out!
A charming local bookshop with the most wonderful, whimsical childrens section. Its my toddlers favorite place to stop in Springfield.
Lively little bookstore. The atmosphere theyve created is charming.
My wife and I decided that this year we are going to do our best to do some of our Christmas shopping locally, supporting local businesses where we can. Yesterday we checked out Pagination Bookshop and we were blown away by the proprietor, and the store. Fantastic selection, reasonable prices, and any book that the store didnt have in stock they could order in for us easily. The shop is a renovated home on Walnut that was built in 1905, and its incredibly charming. If there are people on your Christmas lists with books in their future, check out this local shop. I promise you wont be disappointed.
Very nice person at desk today! They had what I was looking for and more. Go there!!
Very inviting space. Worth the stop!
Literary lovers of all ages can find delight in this bright and cheery shop! Such a skillfully curated selection by knowledgeable staff-slash-authors, willing to go above and beyond with on-demand ordering, curated book bundles, shipping, personal shopping by genre or interests, reading-themed retail goods, recommended reading lists, hosted author events, and free gift wrapping. Whether shopping for yourself, your loved ones, or your reader friends, youll find exactly what youre looking for and more!
Adorable local bookshop. My wife and I cant wait to return!
I love the fact they sell used books too. Wish theyd serve coffee and tea.
Very beautiful and interesting space with a wide variety of books, both new and used. The person who assisted me was very kind and offered me a used copy of the book I had decided on, which was much cheaper and still in great condition.
Wonderful book store. Great online store as well.
I don’t think I’ve gone anywhere else for my books since Pagination opened! It’s always a pleasure.
First time in the store. Ordered online to buy local. Will definitely use them again!
Great local bookstore! Fantastic selection of books on a variety of subjects plus great literary gifts located right on Historic Walnut Street
Staff is so knowledgeable. The best bookstore.
Very friendly staff and a good selection of titles!!!
Its hard not to fall in love with Pagination. I got to know the owners through my job, and ever since, they have grown the brand to be a community staple. Theyve turned an adorable house on Walnut Street into the cutest independent store that feels comfortable enough to hole up in and relax. I also love that the owners will select a few titles for you if youre stumped on what to read next.
Nice staff but dont have a lot of books overall. A little pricey
My daughter, Whitney You, gifted me a gazillion choices to free my spirit, to dig down into a mystery, to hone my ever evolving writing skills, to find like-minded, resourceful women who ARE BECOMING!I Ane so grateful, and now I need to send a book to a friend! Thank you Pagination.
Lovely space, meaningful collection of books, run by amazing people.
Fantastic local book store. Shane was super to work with ordering a book for me, came in quick and the communication was awesome. Thanks for making ordering a book a breeze!
This is my favorite bookstore! The people who work here are always so friendly and helpful, and I love their large selection of books!
This beautiful bookstore is exactly what Springfield needed: a center for its literary arts, in the same way that first Friday art walk provides the center for visual arts activity. I last visited on a rainy weekend, and it was such a nice retreat from the weather and the world. The collection is beautifully curated, and there are many treasures to be found.
This is an absolutely wonderful indie bookstore! Jen, the owner, is so helpful in finding the perfect book, and/or gift. I am definitely going to be going back for all my reading needs.
Such a beautiful, warm and welcoming Bookshop with so many community events and plenty of books and great people! What more could anyone want in a bookstore? Love, love, love it!
This is a great little bookshop in downtown Springfield. Its cozy, friendly, and inviting. It also has a decent selection of books, and the owners offer friendly suggestions. I love it!
Pagination Bookshop is a wonderful little book store, carrying both new and used books. Its located in a restored Victorian home, so there are several wood-floored rooms with shelves around the walls, and chairs strategically placed so you can comfortably sample a book before buying. They have an eclectic selection, mostly hardback, which is part of the appeal of small local bookshops. The clerk was friendly and we chatted about authors and genres. A very nice feature was a small room under the stairs that had a Harry Potter theme, complete with a white owl, Marauders Map, and comfy chair; a delightful set-up. Pagination also sells a variety of other merchandise, including book bags, scarves, & knit hats. If you love browsing books in a welcoming, non-corporate environment, check out Pagination and support the owners who brought it to life
We visited Pagination while we were at Springfields Artsfest in May, the week it opened. It is a dream of an indie bookstore on historic Walnut Street, charming inside and out. Full disclosure: we couldnt get past the childrens area because we were with our two-year-old grandson who fell in love at first sight with the appropriately sized furniture and great selection of new and used books. In fact, he requested to go back to the bookshop later that afternoon, and of course, we revisited. We stopped by Harry Potters nook on that visit. Seriously adorable. We cant wait to go back and spend some time in the grown-up section. Do yourself a favor and visit!
Incredible local bookstore!
This is my number one place to get books in Springfield! Sure, its small, but you go in and find books by surprise! Most of the books are used which makes them feel special and everyone there is just super nice!!!
Extra cool place! Has got lots of books, lots of space to move around walk around. The owner, Jennifer, is extra friendly and willing to help you the book that youre looking for. The upstairs is an Airbnb.
Really neat find! Alot of Recent and popular books here that are used and sold much cheaper than barnes and noble! Check here first. Lovely homey feel too
Quite possibly the coolest, quaint bookshop ever. From the old house, rooms stuffed with books, and owner/literature professor, the vibe is just right.
Wonderful place! Theres a ton of books and neat things to check out, childrens books, and even an AirBnB upstairs to rent- its gorgeous!
Whats not to love about a cozy wrap yourself up in a book in a comfy chair kinda place!!!
Great people to talk to and such an amazing variety of books
This place may be small, but its really big in charm :)
Sweet little locally owned bookstore. Nothing like a chain store with cute little surprises everywhere.
Great place, great owner! So happy to have such a fantastic independent bookstore in Springfield!!
The most beautiful, inviting, and whimsical book store ......love it!
Quiet and comfy. What it lacks in selection it makes up in charm.
Great local bookstore 😃
Favorite part is the harry potter room
Books do their thing and wow people.
