  Not worth going to if you're a racial minority or do not fit the white, thin and able-bodied persona. A place's bookseller does not have to be explicitly racist to tell you you aren't welcome in their store. I saw the old white woman go out of her way to help my white friend and another white lady that walked into the store but did not say a word to me or an overweight white woman who walked in. This detail to service had that much of an effect that I decided not to buy a book that I had actually wanted to read and decided that I'd find the book elsewhere to not give to a low key subtly racist seller. It's quite odd given that Southern Gothic literature often provides a scathing critique on old Southern racism and yet this store is run by a seller whonis racist, which makes this establishment even more ironic. POC - this place is definitely not for you. Spend your money elsewhere with people that will actually give a damn.

  Love the smell. If you love books you know what I mean.

  Faulkner and southern writers in general. Heavy on the twentieth century. Don't be intimidated, the first editions are behind glass, everything else you can touch.

  Very beautiful bookstore. Been around for 27 years. Nice selection of books. Small and lovely. The owner is very sweet and willing to make recommendations.

  Nestled in the French Quarter's Pirate Alley, this shop served as home to Ernest Hemingway when he wrote his first novel. He went on to complete several others in the small home. It is now an amazing rare book store. Highly highly recommended.
