Crecent City Books carries new, used, out-of-print, and rare books, as well as antique maps and prints from all over the world. The store has been located in a historic townhouse in the French Quarter since 1992 and is full of books and prints spanning the last five hundred years. Their oldest prints are from the mid-thirteenth century, thus predating the printing press.
