Faulkner House Books, New Orleans

Very neat place! It's always so cool when you can visit a place where a famous author penned some of their work. Even cooler that this place then became a bookstore. Its a narrow place, so you can't fit many people in there at once, so keep in mind when you decide to visit that you may have to wait a few minutes to look inside, but it is well worth it. Soldiers Pay was written here and of course you can leave with a copy of the book yourself!

Beautifully kept historical building and bookshop. Only 4 people allowed in at a time, so you may have to wait outside for a bit. Good selection of hardback titles.

Lovely little hole in the wall book store with a curated selection of local authors and local themed books as well as a nice mix of broader genres and current choices. At the time of my visit, there was a 4 person max in the store which as small as it is, that seems appropriate even pre-COVID. Very helpful if you are looking for a new book to jump into.

Faulkner House Bookshop is situated in the writer’s actual residence while living in New Orleans. It’s a small space, but it consists of the exact two rooms in which Faulkner had his study, where he used to work. The bookshop sells new books, lots of local interest publications and poetry. It offers some books signed by authors which the shop manager acquires.

A historical must-see on your New Orleans trip! Amazing curated selection of books. I loved seeing both older titles and modern/more inclusive ones in the same shop. There is a lot of thought that goes into this small collection and it’s certainly worth a stop in. The store is little, so go at an off peak time to ensure you have a leisurely browsing experience! It wasn’t an issue for us, but just as a heads up.
