McDowell's Emporium

My go to bookstore for years. If they don't have it they can probably get it or at least point you in the right direction.

Seriously best place ever. Used books are plentiful, organized, and priced to sell. New books are thoughtfully chosen and priced twenty percent under cover price (like b&n without having to be a paid club member). Specifically, the guy on duty was just awesome. Sharing my love for sci, irban, and fantasy fiction, we spent several minutes choosing and debating. The cat is friendly and drools when loved on. It's pretty awesome.

Great used books. Friendly personnel.

Great selection of sci-fi & fantasy books. Clean and well organized. Very cozy and inviting. The staff is amiable and eager to help. The only negative is I live too far away to go often.

I love this book store. Its very quaint and has so many books! I've been going for a few years now and always have a pleasant experience and come home with new books. Prices are very fair.

We found this gem of a bookstore right off of Clemson Boulevard when it was having on of its many book sales. The selection of used and new books combined with the knowledge of its owner make this one of the highlights of my shopping days. I receive discounts on new books and a great selection of unique and well-priced used books. The owner and her employees are extremely well-read and obviously have a love of books. If you want a real bookstore experience, then this is a place to go. Go often and leave happy.

Took my nieces on a auntie/niece adventure day. They loved it. The people were kind and helpful. They asked when they could go back. Prices where great!

Awesome little bookstore with a great selection. Super friendly and helpful. Found 3 books to buy. Very reasonable prices!

If you love books, this is your new favorite place! Fun to browse, great prices on new & used books, & some unique gift items. I enjoy every visit!

Very cute, quaint little bookstore in an old home in Anderson. The staff was all super nice and friendly. Loved it, the vibes were immaculate.

Fantastic little used and new bookstore. Owner is wonderful! I have found quite a few treasures there. Also they have a store cat!

Great place for used books. We stop in here to stock up before a beach vacation, or buy books for my wife's classroom. Great prices and selection for a used books store. Also some new books, but not a huge selection of them

They are so nice and so helpful. Love to support hometown business. Always have new release books that I am looking for. Drive right up to the door. No hassle parking.

Great little bookstore with good prices. I wouldn't have known about it if someone hadn't told me. We will definitely be returning.

Friendly staff (including the cat), large selection of new and old/used books, fantastic prices. Thanks, McDowell’s!

The owners are very kind and they have a book store cat. The selection is wonderful and not very expensive.

They have old and new books and a great selection of JRR Tolkien books 😁

Great indie bookseller. Well organized with a fine tabby cat available for pet therapy. Good prices.

Very helpful and has a great selection of new and used books!

Lots of low priced used books! Neat place, friendly owner!
