About Us

Ed's Editions opened its doors at 406 Meeting Street in the summer of 2001 and operated there through December 31, 2025.  In February, 2026 we will reopen at our new location at 410 Meeting Street, West Columbia.  We're a family run and operated bookstore with books for everyone and perfect for browsing. In shop we have around 15,000 books with some of the inventory available on our online database. 

FAQs:

Q: Do we buy books?

A: Due to our recent move to smaller store space, we are limited to accepting books at this time.  We offer store credit for most book acquisitions; cash is offered on a selective basis. Condition is very important- books with hi-lighting/notations, damaged bindings, beaten or heavily worn covers, insect and water damage, mold or mildew will likely not receive an offer. We're not looking for magazines, romance paperbacks or textbooks. Please call ahead before bringing in books.  

Q: What is store credit?

A: Store credit is like a gift certificate in the store. It's good for one year and usable during our sales too. Our store credit offer will always be bigger than a cash offer, if you're a reader it's a great way to get more books (who doesn't need more books?). Sales Tax must be paid for in cash; Store credit can be used to cover your entire purchase (except sales tax) if you have enough. Store credit and gift certificates are not redeemable for cash.

Q: Parking?

A: We have two parking lots. The gravel lot at the intersection of State St. and Meeting St., as well as several reserved spots in the paved lot right after our building ends on Meeting St. (it's easy to miss). There is also free parking in the city parking lot right to the west of our building (enter parking at flashing light). 

Q: Gift Certificates?

A: Yes, we have gift certificates. These can be bought in shop or over the telephone with a credit card. We can hold them to be picked up or mail them.
