So magical and weird, it's a wonderland filled with so many strange rare books. I love this place
Plan to spend a few hours here because they have a huge, terrific selection! The guy working was incredibly helpful & seemed like a really nice guy. If I ever make it back to New Orleans, I'll definitely stop by here again.
Vintage and used book shop on Baronne at Canal. This large store has lots to look through. I spoke with a helpful staff member about New Orleans themed books and he pointed me to a shelf of local interest materials. I chose “A confederacy of Dunces”. Duh! Anyhow, thanks to the staff’s helpful directions in less than five minutes I was standing in front of a statue of Ignatious Reilly right on Canal street. There I was, side by side with Reilly, holding a Pulitzer Prize winner while drunken tourists staggered about. On a Sunday afternoon! Don’t get me wrong, I was part of the degenerate throng only hours earlier. I sat to read the beginning and quickly found it hadn’t lost anything in humor or relevance over time. Thanks Crescent City Books!
Super courteous staff and a couple of great finds to take home to Boston: a print of old New Orleans and a beautiful book on local architecture for $10. I will be back.
Stopped by here on my New Orleans trip. A great book store with a great selection.
