“Extremely helpful staff and a massive collection of cheap magic cards to look through if you’re just getting started out and want to make a deck without buying a pre-con.”
“Although I’m not part of its target market—I’m not a #bootok romantasy swiftie, I had a great time bringing my wife and watching her shop. I’d love to bring my daughter there next.
Very knowledgeable staff. They know what they stock and love talking books.”
“🐟 Loved the shop filled with local gems!
🐟 Friendly and kind staff
🐟 As a historic home owner
( Circa 1840) I just had to bring this shirt home!
🐟 Thanks for caring about preserving Charleston!”
“This is one of my favorite places to visit. I love walking through the beautifully organized shelves, exploring the wide variety of books, cultural items, and unique gifts. The peaceful atmosphere, the smell of books, and enjoying a cup of coffee here make it a cozy and inspiring place for me.
It’s more than just a bookstore — it’s a place where I can relax, discover new ideas, and spend meaningful time. A truly wonderful spot for anyone who loves books and a calm, welcoming environment.”

“Really cool bookstore in the middle of King Street. I’ve been wanting to visit here and the record store next door since moving to Charleston, but downtown parking is rough. Glad I finally made it in. They have a very nice selection of new and used books, with a pleasantly large selection of books on Charleston. I ended up with a book on southern living, but will be back soon to add to my library.”
“My kids had finished all the French books from the local library and I tried to find French books online. And I found this place! There is always something new and my kids really enjoy most of the books I get for them. All the books were new and of a good quality. A few times I had questions, I was assisted promptly. My orders always arrived within a few days. And they have a good points system.”
“I absolutely love this shop! The owners are so friendly and helpful, and they have the best selection of handmade gifts I've ever seen. I've bought several things from here, and I'm always impressed with the quality of their work. If you're looking for an absolutely gorgeous gift, this is the place to go!”
“This is the student union bldg for The Citadel campus. 1st floor- book store, barber shop, canteen, post office & ATM. 2nd floor- offices, meeting rooms, Buyer Auditorium. 3rd floor- Anglican-Episcopal and Catholic chaplain's offices.”
“CAL is the man! I mean it. He is that duuuude. He is handsome and nice. Niiiiice and haaaaandsome. He is a renaissance man that directed me to a place of refuge on a dreary Friday morning. Laaaaaadieeeees, come to the bookstore and snatch him up, unless he is already taken. (Don't get your wig snatched off.) All the good men work on the Citadel campus. Come on dooooown....”
“We've been here twice. Once when our son was in the NICU and once again last weekend. Both times we had very nice gentlemen helping us. We've also called and ordered something over the phone and they were nothing but helpful. Thank you!”
“Lots of selection, super friendly staff and students, kinda pricey but what you'd expect from a college bookstore. I'll find out about the book and supply portion of the bookstore in fall!”
“Found some pretty cool Charleston apparel in here. I'm a sucker for Vineyard Vines products, and they just so happened to have a shirt with the Ravenel bridge on the back, which was awesome. I also copped a Vineyard vines hat with Charleston spelled out on the side. The prices weren't that bad. They were standard Vineyard Vines prices: my hat was $32 and my shirt was $48. Self checkout was easy and I found the staff to be helpful.”
“Very charming bookshop with a variety to choose from! We asked about a specific romance book and they were happy to recommend Sweeter than Fiction down the street. We came July 3rd, and I really loved their US History displays. I do love a good theme.”
