Boomer's Books and Collectibles
Description
What should you expect when a store is named after the owner's dog? How about the largest used bookstore in the city of Charleston? Boomer's boasts a collection numbering over 35,000 titles, many of which are advertised at half their original cost. Available subjects cover everything from thoroughbred racing to the camera. You can order a few titles online, but the entire inventory is only available at the shop. Also, you may get to meet the shop's resident manager, Purdy the Cat.
And that is an understatement. I love used bookstores, and cannot go to the Charleston area without stopping there. They have great deals - certainly much better than anything here in Columbia, great people, and as good a selection as any used bookstore I've seen.
This is the best bookstore I've ever been in. The owners are super sweet & very helpful. They help me choose what books I'll like and are always willing to walk me through their aisles & rooms of books looking for that rare find. Very friendly atmosphere and I truly believe that the cat can speak...I think he says, "Hi" to all the visitors. It's TRUE! Go see for yourself!
