I bought this book while I was on vacation in Charleston. I had never been to Charleston prior to this past summer, and loved the city. There were so many interesting things to see and do while there. I wish that I would have picked this book up before the trip, because there are so many historical things in this book that I would have liked to have seen. I hope to return to Charleston sometime soon, and go find some of the places mentioned in this book. One place in particular is no longer standing, but the pillars from the building that used to house the Charleston Museum are now in a park. I remember taking a wrong street and driving past and wondering what they were for. I hope to get a picture the next time I go back. I really had a great time, and this was a great souvenir to pick up.
