Book browsing in the French Quarter, New Orleans

Arcadian bookstore near Jackson Square

Enter if you dare

Today we wandered around the French quarter, taste testing pralines, looking at hot sauces and alligator jerky.  The usual New Orleans fare.  But we also discovered a used book store near Jackson Square.  This was the good kind of used bookstore; the kind where all the books are piled so high you fear for your safety.  The Arcadian bookstore seemed to lack a cat, but did contain numerous books in French and a large box of Faulkner's books.  The aisles were so narrow I suspect the bookstore owner has a deal with the fire department, to shall we say, look the other way.  

Ann holds a second edition Zane Grey novel. 

Benjamin is overwhelmed.
