“The Baseline: For a book shop of used books, the books must be well organized, the shelves need to be well stacked with variety of books, and the shop needs to have character.”

What customers say

Well-organized, three-storey used bookstore in the French Quarter. Third floor is dedicated to records. Wide selection of newer and older books as well as New Orleans related books.

★★★★★ — Hannah, 2023-08

wonderful bookstore with the cutest kitty! a very friendly little cat. the bookstore is roomy and the clerk is very friendly. there is a quite large section of nonfiction, which is hard to find. most, if not all, of the books are used. great little place to wander into and explore (and maybe pet a kitty!)

The Baseline: For a book shop of used books, the books must be well organized, the shelves need to be well stacked with variety of books, and the shop needs to have character. Store: This is a very nice book shop with a ton of character.
