They have a small but up to date selection of currently popular books and local smaller writers breaking out into writing. They host different book clubs and events every month and are very active on social media. They have tables and chairs you can sit and enjoy the space and also offer coffee! The pictures added are from their own social media pages but show an accurate look of the inside. The employees were so welcoming and friendly and I can't wait to go back for my next read.

Such a cute bookstore! Although there are so many amazing things to look at (a café with plenty of…read moreoptions, cute seating area, tree decor, bookish gifts, and of course the books themselves), what stood out to me most and would most likely stand out to all book lovers most was the gorgeous ladder connected to the bookcase, usable for all bookaholics. This store is so cute and relaxing to be in! There's a café/bar with a wide variety that isn't obnoxiously expensive and plenty of great books to choose from (and thankfully no Booktok section or ugly stickers covering gorgeous covers). There's a comfy seating area to read your book of choice and enjoy a delicious beverage. There's also plenty of unique and creative bookish gifts to get for your loved ones. Kind staff, clean place (including the bathrooms) and a great selection to choose from. 100% recommend!

I've also gone just to hang with friends while we drink some coffee and yap and look at books. I love that they have a few different specials each month. Everyone that works there is so sweet! It's definitely one of my rotating places for coffee and a work day.

Great selection of books and if they don't happen to have a book you want in stock, you can order it and they'll text you when it comes in.

Nestled in a quaint neighborhood, the one of a kind Philosophers & Fools is a total gem. Let me…read morestart by saying this is not a place where you need to whisper, like at a library... There's music and people socializing... The ambiance, especially at night completely transports you to a different place. A place that feels distant, but welcoming and cozy. Speaking of cozy, there's a nice lounge area in the back that's perfect for a small group, maybe even a book club. If the lounge is occupied, no worries, the bar is quite large too. And there's about 4 small tables near the entrance. The menu has the perfect amount of items. I personally love their entire wine list and their popcorn is out of this world! As for the books, their selection is quite impressive. There's truly something for everyone, even kids. Two of my favorite things are that they had a section to honor black history month. And the other cool thing is, even though I'm married, their "Blind date with a book" table was the cutest thing ever. I've never seen anything like that before. Lastly, this place is perfect for a date night, a pre dinner drink, book club, a first date, or to just have some alone time. There are a couple of similar places in Charleston, but Philosophers & Fools has perfected the concept and they're definitely in a league of their own. I also appreciate that it's woman owned.

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!

There's a large selection of clearance and not-clearance CofC apparel, a mini B&N book area, a selection of school supplies at moderately reasonable prices, and the textbook area.
