About Us

Since opening in April of 2007, owners Bev Rockow & Norma Smyka have delighted in putting quality used books into the hands of readers along the Grand Strand.  We have a wide variety of “previously enjoyed” books, as well as cards, gifts, and more.  With over 15,000 books, whether your interest is in popular fiction, classic literature, or something a little lighter, like romance, or westerns, you’re sure to find something to entertain. If you’re looking for non-fiction, we’ve got that, too!  There’s a bit of everything, from politics to history, cookbooks to diets, true crime to autobiographies, spirituality, and more. Our selection changes daily, and is constantly growing. Of course, if you need help making a decision, as avid readers ourselves, we’re always glad to offer recommendations!  Stop in to talk books, or just to browse a while.  We'd love to have you find us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter @fondofbooks, or check out Bev's blog on reading, bookselling and literary life in general at onthebedsidetable.wordpress.com.
