Source Booksellers Celebrates 20 Years

DETROIT — It was soon after a study trip to Egypt in 1988 with Dr. Asa Hilliard that Janet Jones first got the inspiration to seek and provide information not readily available at mainstream outlets.
On the advice of a local collector of Egyptology books and rare documents, Jones began calling publishers directly and establishing relationships that have lasted for two decades now. With the further encouragement of members of the Central United Methodist church community, Jones, a former Detroit Public Schools teacher and administrator, began selling books at churches, lectures and bazaars — and even from her basement. Seven years ago, Jones partnered with Pryor to acquire the former Cass Co-op building at the corner of Cass and Willis. Jones brought her books and became part of what is now known as the Spiral Collective.
Source Booksellers focuses on volumes that fall, generally, into the area of non-fiction. The racks are filled with volumes on history and culture, health and well-being, politics, and metaphysical and spiritual issues and more — all with an emphasis on the African American experience.
Jones says that patrons have come to think of her shop, and the Spiral Collective, as what’s known as a ‘third place’; that place — after work and home — that that people purposely seek for the company and the environment.
“It’s just a wonderful meeting place, such interesting people come in,” says Ron Marable, creator of Fashion Fair Cosmetics. “Saturday here is as good as Eastern Market — it’s a must stop on a Saturday afternoon.”
