I am an architect, and when my husband and I decided to vacation in Charleston over the holidays I thought this would be the perfect guide book for us. We love buildings! Unfortunately, the authors have a somewhat snooty (IMO) attitude about the newer architecture in Charleston. As a member of a local Historic Society, I find it to be the same preservationist attitude that old is good and new is bad. I would only recommend this guide for those who are fascinated by old-south architecture and who intend to spend several days walking around photographing the older buildings of Charleston.

I have mixed feelings regarding this book. It is well written; obviously well researched. I like Charleston-I lived there from 1957-1975; and I majored in History in college and I like restaurants. But, (and you knew that was coming) this book is for architect buffs and foodies who love that old Charleston feeling. So, if you are a very first time visitor wanting hotel information, easy to read restaurant reviews, shopping and tour suggestions, look elsewhere. Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder-and I would disagree with some of their opinions.

I really thought this would be a prettier book. The grey and white photos don't do this book any favors. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of grey and white photography, but it's not what is needed for this guide.
Other than that,I can't wait to get started on all the suggested walking tours!

The book was extremely informative while visiting Charleston and the surrounding area, including plantations. It made the visit an educational experience. Good book!

The Moore's updated "Complete Charleston" is an invaluable resource for visiting this history-rich city. The updated guide provides an easy-to-use book for those who are adventurous and want to explore a city by walking neighborhoods and "smelling the flowers". Their guide provides the history of many of Charleston's buildings, homes and gardens as well as side trips to other locations within one day of Charleston. The well researched restaurant guide is also a must for those who want to taste Charleston's world famous cuisine .
To "experience" the ambiance of Charleston, their guide is the best!
