I LOVE this little bookstore! They always have updated copies of the newest books but also the classics. Everything from smut to the Bible can be found here. The shop workers are always so friendly and they have a nice rewards program. Book clubs also happen here although I've never been to one. Give this place a browse read more

A small book store in the heart of down town Summerville. Clean and well kept with a few cozy chairs to sit in. They didn't have many professional books or books that you might need for career development but there was a decent selection of other types of both non fiction and fiction. This location does not offer book consignment or book trade. read more

A great little bookstore. I took my nephew to Main Street Reads for story time and we had a blast! On the way home he kept saying "story time!" Snacks and drinks are provided and age appropriate seating. The reader begins and ends with a fun action song. The bookstore has a kids section that has lots of great books. In the kids section a parent can sit and read with their child on a comfy seat. Their are many things throughout the shop geared toward children that they can interact with and look at while the adult shops. I browsed the bookstore before and after story time and saw lots of great books. It would be hard not to find a book to want to buy each time you visit. I'm from Ohio and love to read about the places I visit and this bookstore had many books from local authors and about the state of SC and the local area for kids to adults. I love that this place brings in authors for book signing!! I know they have many activities for all sorts of readers you'll want to check out. The store also sells book plates, blank notebooks, Literary Tea, and many other cool items. I hope you'll visit! read more

The customer service here is good and the setup is nice and cozy, however, as a visitor who was looking for diverse reads-- I went in looking for books by African American authors and there was a small selection& when I inquired about specific books by African American authors the associates were not knowledgeable on who these authors were. I still purchased books here but left feeling underwhelmed. I hope the associates start reading more diverse reads. read more

Wonderful owners and place that serves to promote the community and state. I visited here with my son on Friday for story time. He is 2 1/2 and enjoyed the stories and songs. Books are my friends, so I spent some time in the store afterward. The selection of titles is attuned to classics, bestsellers, and notables of a wide variety. Kids will have fun here as well. There is a nook for them, where they can relax in a comfortable seat or be entertained by a talking parrot. The best part of the store is the local (region and state) offerings, for both children and adults. read more

I'll be honest, I drove all the way to Summerville from West Ashley to meet Bill Walsh and get a book signed by him. However, even though this little book store is thirty minutes from my house, I can totally see myself bypassing the big name book stores (and dare I say, even Amazon) for a chance to support a local small business who prides themselves on customer service and supporting local authors. The owner was super friendly, and we came in at the start of the school year, so my daughter got a bag of back-to-school treats, which made her day. Their location is small, but their selection is big, and if they don't have what you are looking for, they can order it for you. My parents were looking for an author that is native to Vermont, and when he couldn't be found in the store, the owner ordered his most recent books and will have them on the shelves in no time. Excellent customer service. read more

I love book stores and this one is no exception. However, I found extra pizazz and personality in every corner. They had an interesting selection of both fun and serious reads, my sister chose a cookbook that sounds like a hoot!!! My nephew chose a cool book only a 17-year-old would love, and I was enamored by the children's area. Colorful, full of books, and plenty of space for the kiddos to play around. Definitely coming back! read more
