"An EXCELLENT stop for a search in a whimsical collection of random books. Walked out with over thirty tomes, and the discount was only gravy. The "Book Collector" at the till was also very nice and personable. Way worth stopping into this beautiful book shop/coffee shop/pottery studio-shop."

"Haven for the friends of Dorothy! Up to date topics in a wide range of generas. Don't forget a coffee from the attached coffee shop! All the staff are helpful and kind. Enjoy the leisurely walk through the store and take time to sit down at the attached art exhibit!"

"Homeward Bound Books was a find! It shares space with a lovely used record store in the East End of Charleston, WV (which itself is an unexpected find for many...both the record store and Charleston itself). The impresario was in and gave me a personal tour of the books, all of which are chosen individually...not bought in bundles as is the case in many used book stores. The selection was eclectic and thoughtful. Several young men from a town outside of Charleston came in while I was there. They said they came to Homeward Bound whenever they were in Charleston; we had a delightful conversation. For content, ambience and more, I STRONGLY advise you to head to Homeward Bound."

"Homeward Bound is a “sweet spot” on the East End of Charleston. The proprietor, Joe Solomon, has created an array of book nooks across the state, with the store in Charleston as the flagship. The collection on the shelves is carefully curated by Joe himself and then arranged in topical categories. Because there is limited space in the shop, the only books that find their way to the shelves are quality finds, and gently used. Given the ridiculously high price of new books it is a blessing to have Homeward Bound here. Parking is easy in this uncrowded area of the city, and there is even a nice little dog park next door that I enjoy going to. While there you can browse the huge collection of LPs at Sullivan Records. (If you don’t know what an LP is, ask your father :-)"

"I absolutely LOVE Homeward Bound Books, it literally feels like home and could get lost in the back book nook for hours! This is a true gem in our community and we are lucky to have such a unique space on the East End! Homeward Bound Books shares space with Sullivan Records so it's doubly worth checking this place out! PS the staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable!"
