E. Shaver, Bookseller

Opened in 1975, E. Shaver, Bookseller is located in historic Savannah and specializes in regional topics from architecture to gardening. Considered a local treasure, one allure of the store is the collection of antique maps that can be found between its bookshelves. (Also alluring: The shop's two cats who are happy to cuddle with browsers.) The store was up for sale in 2013, but Esther Shaver instead found a co-owner in an employee in 2015.
