Service was friendly and welcoming, and I would gladly come back again the next time I'm in town.

While that wouldn't necessarily affect my overall experience, the fact that the staff never stopped to ask me (or any of the other browsing patrons) if we needed help with anything was disappointing. The selection of items was okay, though books marked as "new" that had clear damage to them (most likely done in shipping, such as bent corners, red marks on the tops of paperbacks, etc) were still marked at resale value. I understand local bookstores need all the support they can get, and while I didn't end up purchasing a book, I did buy one of their heavy duty canvas totes. I didn't look at the price of the used titles except for a copy of Gone with the Wind, so I can't attest to how those prices are in conjunction with other used book stores. Would I go back? Yes, and hopefully the visit will be better. I would also like to see more diverse fiction titles as well.

(They also have some rare books - like a signed Vonnegut for $2k!) It's a charming used bookstore, work checking out if you're exploring Charleston!

I visited this store on April 14, 2026, with much anticipation as I visited in the past and was looking forward to returning. I found an item I wanted to purchase after browsing for several minutes. I went to the register to pay for the item, and the employee did not acknowledge me in any way, so I told her that I would like to make a purchase. She was so ncredibly rude, that I finally just told her that I was sorry for trying to make a purchase and that I would not inconvenience her further. I told her that not to worry about the purchase and left without my item. I you want to purchase Edisto Island items, go down the road to the musem gift shop. They are very friendly, and it contributes to a good cause.

With all of the race issues going on in the US right now, I couldn't sit around and do nothing so I vowed to further educate myself and become a better ally. Instead of purchasing new books off of Amazon or used ones off eBay, I knew I wanted to shop locally and definitely support more Black-owned businesses. As I read their website, I found out that they were the ONLY African-American, female-owned bookstore in South Carolina which I think is so cool! I browsed their selection (which is huge!!) and purchased 2 books: White Rage by Carol Anderson and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. These books were great reads, but Between the World and Me was especially moving for me and maybe one of my favorite books on racism/racial injustice that I've read overall. After ordering, I was kept up to date through emails and my packages arrived quickly and with no problems at all. I have recommended Turning Page to my all of friends and I will be purchasing from them again next time I need a new read. 10/10!

Buxton Books on King Street is everything you want in an independent bookstore and more. From the…read moremoment you walk in, it's clear this place is thoughtfully curated and deeply rooted in the Charleston community. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely friendly--the kind of booksellers who actually listen to what you like and then point you to something you end up loving. Their recommendations are spot-on, whether you're looking for a well-reviewed new release, a literary classic, or something a little off the beaten path. The selection is excellent, with a standout focus on local authors and Southern voices. It's one of the best places in town to discover Lowcountry history, regional fiction, and signed copies you won't easily find elsewhere. You can tell real care goes into what makes it onto the shelves. What really elevates Buxton Books is their community involvement. They regularly host author events, readings, and conversations that make the store feel like a true cultural hub rather than just a retail space. If you're a reader--or even just book-curious--Buxton Books is absolutely worth a visit. A Charleston treasure and a reminder of how special a great independent bookstore can be.
