A city rich in history inspires bountiful writing. The Charleston section at King Street’s Blue Bicycle Books includes a lifetime’s worth of literature about the city, while the newer Buxton Books focuses only on Charleston-related works, including novels, historical accounts, cookbooks, and children’s books by local artists such as illustrator Timothy Banks. Each store hosts signings whenever fresh releases hit the shelves.
