Faulkner House is owned by Mr. DeSalvo who was kind enough to mail me his list written in script so beautiful that I will be scanning it soon for all to see. I am also now convinced that his store, with its address at 624 Pirate's Alley, has the coolest address of any bookstore in the world.

  1. Hans, I have been to his store. Very cool selection and Pirates Alley is pretty close to Preservation Hall. Very cool location.

    Have you heard about the Guardian Book Swap? So cool! Maybe it will catch on -- here?
