Itinerant Literate Books opened in 2015 as a mobile and pop-up bookstore and in 2018 opened the flagship bricks-and-mortar Bookstop in Park Circle. Our name is reflective of our mission: we believe stories are powerful vehicles for growth and that access to knowledge should not be limited by zip code or district.

We offer a diverse selection of brand-new books for people of all ages and are committed to making new stories and insight accessible to everyone in our community.

Christen Thompson is the co-owner and co-founder of Itinerant Literate Books and the Director of Digital Strategy for Arcadia Publishing. She is graduate of Agnes Scott College and the Denver Publishing Institute.

We’ve been called one of the most unique shops in the Charleston area and look forward to meeting you!
