[.ca] Complete Charleston: A Guide to the Architecture, ... (ISBN 0966014421)

Charleston Architecture Guide:
A little too in-depth for the casual tourist - and we really like old homes and gardens ! Probably great for architecture or Charleston history buffs. Also, most (95%) of the houses listed are private and not open to the public.

A unique love affair...:
This is a must-have book if you have a love affair with the city of Charleston SC. I lived there for 4.5 years, and I still carry this book with me on trips there. One of the best features about this book is its layout -- it divides the city into the various historic districts and/or sections, and gives you ten walking tours to take. If you'd like a shorter tour, I suggest the French Quarter or Mazyck-Wraggborough; for a good LONG walk, try the Harleston Village trek. It also gives you points where the city trolleys can pick up passengers. If you're planning to visit Charleston, then get this book! It will make your stay even more enjoyable!
