Here Be Books is an inviting, service-oriented bookstore 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 book selection. 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.

Looking for a book? Let us help.

If we don’t have a book in stock, we can usually find and special order it for you, even if the book's out of print. Searches are free and there's no obligation to buy. We do require prepayment on special orders.

Archival-Quality Brodart Book Covers

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.

Roleplaying Games, Playing Cards, and Dice

In addition to all of our books, 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. See our upcoming events for more information. We also host D&D Game Day every year.

Bookmarks and Prints

Being a bookstore, of course we must have bookmarks. Our selection of bookmarks you can buy 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.

We buy, sell, and trade.
