tmariar Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Wondering if anyone has been to Kaboom Books yet, the new (used) bookstore at 833 Studewood (at 9th). Someone posted a photo here. A friend recommended it, but I haven't had a chance to go yet, and hadn't seen anything posted about it. I hope it does well in that location.

heights_yankee Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 guess it's an ex nola resident since there appears to be one there too.That's what I've heard as well. The owners are Katrina relos. There is another NO evac business on 19th called "What." It's a great little shop if you havent been there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmariar Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I ended up making it to Kaboom a couple of times while it was still at Studewood and 9th, and have since been to the new Studewood location a couple of times. Haven't made it to the Houston Avenue location yet, though.I like their book selection. And I really like having a bookstore in the neighborhood. Plus, on all visits, I've enjoyed speaking with either John or Dee.I got an email saying they now carry the Sunday New York Times, though I don't know if it's at both stores or just one. It would be cool if the Studewood store had the Times - a Sunday morning stop for the NYT at Kaboom and artisinal pastries next door at Antidote sounds pretty good to me.

memebag Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, I finally got a chance to shop there a while back. I found some amazing stuff, like a copy of a book my dad bought at the King Tut exhibit in New Orleans when I was a kid. And the dude working there was very helpful.

kylejack Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Anyone go to Quarter Price Books on Shepherd? Love that place. They have so many cool old books, some autographed or with a personal note to recipient from the author. There is some really unique stuff. Also, the Old And Interesting section of Half Price Books. The best Old And Interesting section is at the top of the back stairs of the one in Rice Village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best Old And Interesting section is at the top of the back stairs of the one in Rice Village.I've been to 1/4th price books. It's good if you know what you're looking for. It's not really like 1/2 price books where you can sit around and browse/read the books. I forget the owner's name (?) but he seems like a nice guy.

Haven't made it to the Houston Avenue location yet, though.I live really close to the Houston ave/Bayland store but haven't been yet. I need to drop in there soon to check it out.
