Bookstore tips for Natchitoches

A few things worth knowing before you work through Natchitoches's bookstores:

• Ask the booksellers at Neebo. A good bookseller lives for the question 'what should I read next?' Give them three books you loved and watch them work.
• Ask about the book club discount. Many shops discount book-club orders. If your club buys local, everyone wins.
• Come back seasonally. Stock turns over with the publishing seasons. The shop you browsed in spring is a different shop by autumn.
• Ask for the out-of-print hunters. Some used shops will hunt down out-of-print titles for you. It takes patience, but the find is worth it.

We don't list prices — they change constantly and vary by edition. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers, in alphabetical order with no favourites.
