Member Spotlight
Willa’s Books & Vinyl was conceived in the heart of Willa Robinson, who developed a love for books and reading at a very early age. In 1994 she started selling her books on 18th and Vine, in Kansas City, Missouri, as a street vendor. The rest is history.
Willa’s Books & Vinyl specializes in used and rare African-American books, first editions, as well as the works of a wide variety of main-stream authors.
