Guest Post :: Jane Addams Book Shop by Michael Matthews Bingamon | Small Business Saturday

In honor of Small Business Saturday (today--November 24th) I'm hosting guest posts by author's wanting to support a favorite local business of theirs! So, here is a post by Michael Matthews Bingamon, author of "Savage Worlds," about his favorite local bookstore!!



Jane Addams Book Shop

Jane Addams Book Shop is located at 208 N Neil St, Champing, Illinois and has been in business for over twenty seven years. They carry over 70,000 used, hard to find, unique books covering all possible subjects. This store is three stories and more than a dozen rooms for different sections. You can’t spend enough time exploring this place—trust me, I’ve tried.

Jane Addams’ newest owners, Don and Susan Elmore, operate the store with the family. It is a warm experience visiting this small business in downtown Champaign under the green awning. For anyone in central Illinois it would be worth the visit. With frequent author signings, poetry readings, and frequent contests Jane Addams Book Shop offers more than the standard fare.

Hometown small and family owned businesses offer so much compared to chain stores. The service is unbeatable and often more insightful than a nationwide or regional chain. The passion of Elmore’s is sincere and as a both a writer and avid reader I feel most at home when I visit Jane Addams Book Shop.
