Great little independent bookshop! They say the original E Shaver is the older bookshop in Savannah, though this one is a newer secondary location. Open, light, well-organized, with colorful and interesting displays! They are in partnership with Foxy Loxy and there is plenty of space to bring your coffee over, find a table, and discuss ideas and books with friends, or check out something new to read.
They had a large variety of fiction, LGBTQ, feminism, children's books, the classics, non-fiction (history, politics, jazz, Black history), biographies and autobiographies (Steve Martin, Mark Twain, and more), classics (American, Greek, and more). They had a Blind Date section, where you get a vague synopsis or profile of a book wrapped in paper and have to buy it "blind," which I always find fun. Books meant to inspire you to think, to be creative, to change your worldview.
I bought several cards from here because I love snail mail. Fun and artistic cards with cute phrases, adorable raccoons, rambunctious possums.
Staff was helpful and friendly.
Right in the heart of the Starland district, meaning lots of independent boutiques, eateries, coffee shops, and cool art/architecture nearby. read more
