Faulkner House Books
Known For
First editions and literary history packed into one small French Quarter room
Faulkner House Books occupies the actual apartment where William Faulkner wrote his first novel, and the bright, airy exposed brick rooms still carry that creative charge. It's a cozy nook of a shop that punches well above its square footage.
🕐Best time to visit: spring mornings when Jackson Square light pours through the windows
