Faulkner House Books

Lonely Planet review

Both a business and a bonafide literary attraction, Faulkner House is an essential stop for any book lover. It's a pleasant space, with beautifully crafted shelves packed from floor to ceiling, lending it the quiet atmosphere of a private library. The shop is a bit of a literary hub, and local authors (Richard Ford, Andrei Codrescu, etc) regularly stop by.

It's not a large store - if there are more than five or six customers at a time, the place starts to feel crowded - but it offers a commendable mix of new titles and first editions. The selection of books by local and Southern authors is particularly strong, and naturally William Faulkner is a staple.
