Books for sale outside the shop

You may not be able to tell a good book by its cover, but you certainly can identify a good used book store when you see one.

Bluffton has such a gem. Book ReViews has officially moved from 115 N. Main to 123 S. Main St., and according to Ruth Unrau, the new space is much larger than the previous one.

The shop offers "thousands of books," according to Unrau, who has yet to unpack all the books that have moved to the new location.

Store hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
