The Book Lady Bookstore

Exactly as a bookstore should look and feel, this full service used, rare, and new books shop, steps right out of a Dickens novel. Right around the corner from Shaver's, The Book Lady has lots of cozy places to sit, knowledgeable staff, and endless hard-to-find books in all genres. Free wifi, reading garden, and a cafe that serves coffee, tea, cold drinks, and homemade scones, cookies and more. Check their events schedule for author readings and book signings.

The Paris Market & Brocante

A wonderful treasure trove of a little bit of everything -- items for home, stationery, gifts, etc. The owner has a wonderful eye for the unusual. There is also a small cafe inside.

E. Shaver Booksellers

This is a great locally owned bookstore. Tons of new books inhabit many intimate rooms. If you eavesdrop on the doyennes who work there, you can learn all kinds of juicy gossip on the locals. They always have good advice on the latest book or that literary souvenir for Aunt Sue.

Folklorico

Great place for fair trade, handmade products. Owners travel around the world to find treasures to share.

Graveface Records & Curiosities

Flagship location of Graveface Records. New and used records, CDs, cassettes, etc.

Joseph's Salon

Full service pampering and consultations, nails, hair, and skin care, located in the historic district beside the Desoto Hilton Hotel. Owner Joseph Moody has been the go-to hairstylist for beautiful hair in Savannah for over 20 years. Call for an appointment.

ShopSCAD

On Madison Square. Great works of art by students at SCAD. Right across the street from the Gryphon Tea Room. Why buy junky mass produced souvenirs when you can support student artists? They always have a wonderful mix of eclectic items.
