Charleston Bookstore Philosophers & Fools Promises Wine and Snacks Among the Stacks | Eater Carolinas

"Planned to open early next year at 50 Bogard Street, Philosophers & Fools is a cozy, welcoming corner shop launched by longtime Charleston residents Jenny Ferrara and Michael Bourke; named after a William Faulkner quote in The Sound and the Fury, it will carry a variety of new books across genres and offer Counter Culture coffee, an organic/sustainable-leaning wine program, a selection of canned craft beer, and other nonalcoholic options, along with snacks like baked goods and panini sandwiches. The couple envisions a place where patrons can come alone to read, meet up with a friend or a book club, and enjoy a snack or beverage, and they hope diners from nearby Vern’s and Chubby Fish will stop by for a drink while waiting for a table or for a post-dinner nightcap. They are currently putting the finishing touches on the shop while launching a website and a Kickstarter." - Erin Perkins
