Edisto Island Bookstore

Really nice little bookstore and the lady working there is really nice. Lots of good books to read while you relax on the beach.

Adorable store with the sweetest cat in the world, I crouched down next to her and she climbed right into my lap. Also a great place of you want books about the history of the island and area and has an adorable children's section ❤️

Adorable cat. Unfortunately the store owner gossiped for 15 minutes with her friend about someone, blocking the entire front of the store. While in there I heard the bookstore owner talk about how she doesn't plan on stocking the shelves anytime soon. Which seems unwise, considering most sections of the bookstore were baren, save for one local author, whose only endorsement on the book was the bookstore owner's. As I was leaving, I was discussing the picture of the cat I got, after trying to scour the shelves for something to read. The owner scoffed and said, in a very nasty tone, "You know, this is a bookstore. You could try finding a book that interests you." I asked her to repeat herself, and she did, quite loudly. My companion and I told her maybe next time, politely, and left. After hearing she doesn't plan to restock the store and her nasty comment, I don't think there will be a next time.

Great wee bookstore this. Very decent selection of new and used books - especially from local authors (of which we picked up a couple of titles). Don't forget to say hi to Sarah Margaret while you're there.
