"Willa's Books" was conceived in the heart of Willa Robinson, who developed a love for books and reading at a very early age. While working for the U.S. Postal Service for 31 1/2 years, she began collecting books. At first it was christian books because of accepting Jesus as her Savior, then it spilled over into books about blacks, their history, literature and then about anything about black people. "Willa's Books" was born out of a need for space. In 1994 she started selling her books on 18th and Vine, in Kansas City, Missouri. "Willa's Books" specializes in used and rare African-American books. http://www.amazon.com/shops/willas_book

Music is one of my favorite things,next to reading its right up there at the top .During the 80'  I sorta of drop out of the world of secular music.Since I am in the store I now have the time to listen and appreicate some of the top jazz artist of yesteryear and some contemporary artist. I am 1st and foremost a lover of the blues, some of my favorite artist are Percy Mayfield,Bobby Blue Bland,Jimmy Reed, Little Walter to name a few.You can check some of these out  at the  store. I am talking about vinyl of course.Oh I left out John Lee Hooker.

I tease my children telling them they don't know what real music is,  mainly my grand kids.The music was so rich during the late 40's 50's 60's and 70's its' all brought back to me as I clean and price books and records and listen to goodddd music.

Chuck Berry 's rock n roll,Sam n Dave's Soul all sounds good to me,Jackie Wilson was a great showman and singer and Aretha the Queen of Soul getting her Respect.So we had the best Soul,Blues,Jazz,Pop and let's not forget the Beatles. Our store is a collectors dream in books as well as records.We have 45's33's and a few 78s'.Come in and check us out ,browse  and start your own collection.
