Oh dear,
I'm not doing too well at keeping my bookish explorations up to date!
I've got tonnes of goodies to post, but first I'll
show you beautiful Faulkner House Books in New Orleans. You can
read my travel post on New Orleans here.

William Faulkner wrote his
first novel Soldiers' Pay when he lived briefly at 624 Pirate's Alley
in the 1920s. Now the home has been turned into a bookshop bearing his name. |

| I had the store to myself when the shopkeeper dashed out to feed her meter. She asked me to keep things ticking over in her absence. I would've happily done so permanently. |

I've been here, this place is truly awesome! tancumishka
ReplyDeleteAmazing isn't it? I could quite happily spend the rest of my life in that shop!
ReplyDeleteOh, what an amazing bookstore to work at - cue lots of drooling. Love reading about your book journeys :) I just visited Shakespeare & Co. in Paris, which totally lived up to the hype.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth - Shakespeare & Co. is on the list for Paris! Are you travelling around also?
