MY WEEKEND IS BOOKED!

Find the Perfect Read at These Bookstores

When visiting a new town, avid readers are often on the lookout for eclectic, vintage bookstores with their own cozy vibes. While Greenville has two of the mother-of-all bookstores (we’re looking at you, Barnes & Noble), we’ve also got a neat collection of independent booksellers that’ll make you feel right at home in their window-seat book nooks.

2ND & CHARLES

If you’re not immediately gobsmacked by the store’s name spelled out among 4,000 discarded books when you first walk in, you’ll be impressed that the “2nd” in its name stands for second-time around. With the mantra “it’s all new to you,” almost everything for sale is pre-owned and pre-loved. Serving up books, music, movies, video games, vinyl records, comics, and more, this shop is well worth a visit.  2465 Laurens Rd.
