We are "The Book" Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Gift Shop. Our Shop is located on Beautiful Calhoun Square at 127 East Gordon Street, Savannah, Georgia 31401. We have been in our present location for over 10 years and are officially known as the Headquarters of "Midnight." We have claim to this fame as we are still one of the few shops around to carry such a wide variety of "Midnight" items. Also, we are one of the few shops to have had the author, John Berendt, visit with us and have book signings when his "Book" was first released. We still offer his book and are proud to say he still signs them for us. John and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" have done much for Savannah during the past 10 years. Savannahians have much to be thankful for during this time and we hope that "Midnight" will continue to live on through the years. We invite you to come by and visit our "Mini" Museum and take a piece of history back home with you. 

We would like to share with you our  Top 5 "Midnight" Experiences

1) "The Book" Gift Shop  - Headquarters for "Midnight." This is definetly stop #1 to get all the information you need; pick up some Savannah Midnight souvenirs for your memories and for your family and friends. Also, get your self guided Map of "Midnight" so that you can tour all the sites at your convenience or take "The Book" Tour (reservations are a must). Step into our mini-museum and hear Emma Kelly playing her favorite tunes or listen to "The Book" on cd or watch 'The Movie' "Midnight in the Garden" on DVD. Only at "The Book" Gift Shop located on Beautiful Calhoun Square.

2) "The Book" Tour  - For anyone who loved "The Book" or "The Movie" this comprehensive tour, lasting about 2 1/2 hours is for you.
