As a previous owner of a bookstore, I was more than thrilled when I stumbled across this rare gem. However, I was less than thrilled by the lack of professionalism by who I assume was the proprietor. The lady would not stop talking on the telephone for one brief moment. I understand things do happen and it did sound as... More

Interested in a signed first edition copy of Cormac's The Border Trilogy, or row upon row of other rare first editions and collectables (Faulkner (of course), Hemingway, etc. etc.)...? This is the place. Also packed to the ceiling with more affordable texts. Joanne was a very kind seller and I am very sorry this was not a "shopping vacation". Just... More

Small and lovely. Every square inch is covered with books--from first editions of Faulker (who lived in this location for 6 months) to more contemporary titles. The owner is unobtrusive but helpful (just what one would want in a book shop!). More

I didn't go here to buy any books, just to visit Faulkner's temporary home. It's a really nice spot with some great first editions behind glass. It is a very small store, so it can be uncomfortable if more than a few people are there. More

The shop is tiny, but has a tremendous selection of books. You'll be able to find recent literary fiction and poetry, antiquarian books, and... More

Cool bookstore close to Jackson square. It's a pretty small store so if many ppl are there, it can feel cramped. The owners live in the building and the store has some cool pics with autographs of some great writers like Hemingway and Harper Lee. Historical building also. More

Following a short conversation they, without fail, recommend the perfect gift, your next read or a unique find. Walk in, chat with them for a few moments &... More

My husband and I are regular visitors to New Orleans, and we are both addicted to books. Faulkner House is always our first stop on the French Quarter bookstore circuit. It can't really be properly called a used bookstore as many of the books they sell are brand new, but there are used books mixed in. Additionally, they ship, which... More
