Here Be Books & Games is an inviting, service-oriented bookstore and game store located in Summerville, South Carolina, just northwest of historic Charleston. We strive to provide a comfortable, relaxed, atmosphere in which you can browse our 40,000+ used, rare, new, and collectible hardback and paperback book selection, as well as, our stock of boardgames, card games, playing cards, and dice. There are a few comfy chairs where you can relax and read. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase.
Over 40,000 Fiction and Nonfiction Books... and Counting
With over 40,000 books in stock, you're sure to find something to your liking. Our bookstore carries hard cover, paperback, CD audio and children's books - and accepts them for trade, too. While most of our stock is used and out-of-print books, we do also have some new, rare and antiquarian books on our shelves as well. Our favorite book genres are Sci-Fi Fantasy, Roleplaying Games, Children’s Series, and Ancient History, but we make a concerted effort to stock a variety of books in all categories.
We Now Stock Designer Board Games and Card Games
Towards the end of 2008 we added designer boardgames and card games to our repertoire. Now you can buy the latest Euro games locally. You can even try them out at Game Night, the first Saturday of every month or stop by the store any time and see if we're up for a game. We carry a variety of games for all ages by the best game publishers, including family games, gateway games and gamer games. For more details, see the Games section of our Products page. We'd be happy to recommend a game based on your current likes and dislikes. Just ask us!
You can use your premium trade credit towards the purchase of new and used games we have in stock. You can even try most of our games or examine their rules and bits before you buy at our monthly Game Night the first Saturday of every month. See our events page for more information.
Roleplaying Games, Playing Cards, and Dice
In addition to all of our books and games, our bookstore carries a variety of roleplaying games (RPGs), playing cards, and dice. We're an authorized retailer for Piatnik Playing Cards and Crystal Caste Dwarven Stones, Dwarven Metals, and other fantasy roleplaying game dice. The first Saturday of every month is Game Night at Here Be Books. We also host Dungeons & Dragons Game Day every year.
Looking for a book or game? Let us help.
If we don’t have a book or game in stock, we can usually find and special order it for you, even books that are out of print. Searches are free and there's no obligation to buy. We do require prepayment on special orders. If you preorder a new game, we'll give you 10% off the retail price.
Archival-Quality Brodart Book Covers
 |
 |
| With book cover | Without book cover. |
Did you know that as much as 80% of a modern-day first edition's value is often determined by the condition of its dust jacket? To help protect your treasures from the ravages of time and use, we carry a complete line of Brodart archival-quality book covers. The book covers wrap over your books' dust jackets, preserving them from damage. They do not adhere to the jacket, so are easily removed. We'll happily install them for you, too.
Bookmarks and Prints
Being a bookstore, of course we must have bookmarks. Our selection of bookmarks available for purchase varies, but we always have free bookmarks in a basket on the counter. Beautiful fine photographic prints by Philip James Photo adorn our walls and many of our bookmarks feature photography by Philip as well.
We buy, sell, and trade.
