M. Judson is proud to be downtown Greenville’s local independent bookstore. Located in the historic downtown courthouse building, this bookstore offers bestsellers, classics, local specialty items, cards, gifts, and novelties for book lovers. The booksellers read first, recommend second. Their baristas love coffee just as much as they love books. Everyone loves stories. They believe that stories don’t just come wrapped in book jackets. Sometimes they’re bottled in a wine, roasted in a bean, baked in a bread, woven into a tea towel, or created in a moment. That’s why M. Judson Booksellers is more than a bookstore. There patron Mary Camilla Judson had an incredible life; their building has an amazing history. All of their authors, vendors, readers, books and gifts have stories that made them who they are. At M. Judson Booksellers their job is to weave those together.
