This 6 Room Bookstore In South Carolina Is A Book Lovers Dream

Are you a true bookworm? In a day and age when books are becoming more and more digital, some people (raise you hand!) still prefer the tangible pleasure of holding a book and turning the pages. But you don’t have to be a bookworm to love a good bookstore, and this one is like a dream.

Located just one-half block off North Main Street in Anderson is a six-room bookstore that has all the makings of a bibliophile's fantasy.

McDowell's Emporium is an entire little house that's been converted into the most adventurous book labyrinth in the state.

The entire house is filled with bookshelves overflowing with a bevy of books to choose from.

McDowell's Emporium specializes in used, out-of-print, and select new editions. Local and regional author works are found in abundance, also.

In fact, don't be surprised if you wander in and find a local or regional author in the store signing copies.

Why not add a personalized and signed copy to your collection??

The used books in the store are all neatly arranged, and the shelves have labeling making your preferred genre easy to locate.

Want to find a gift for a cat lover? That won't be difficult at McDowells, especially with the resident mascot on hand to make the location obvious!

Book gifts are still a thing, even in this day and age of digital replacements. The children's new book collection is a great place to start for youngsters.

And you'll find an ample collection of classic gifts for all ages, too.

Occasionally, McDowell's does a big sale out on the lawn. If you drive up and find tables of books out front, you've struck gold and should be prepared to drive home with a back seat full of bargains you can't pass up.

The little old house known as McDowell's Emporium is charming and easy to find, with abundant parking out front.
