CIC Guidebooks

Here is the perfect guidebook for your Charleston visit. In 88 beautiful photographs, author Lisa Hoff introduces you to the "Queen City of the South." The short Introduction and four-line captions concisely explain Charleston's history, culture and architecture. A complete index of the photographs takes you on seven walking and driving tours through downtown Charleston- as well as the military school, old forts, museums, plantations, the 1670-landing site of the very first settlers, and a 1400-year-old oak tree, named Angel Oak. All sites found in the index include directions, maps, hours of operation, addresses and phone numbers. In addition, a calendar of events tells you what festivals and tours of gardens and homes take place during your visit. Translated in English, French, and German.
