Did not ask if I needed help, just kept slamming things around while I tried to shop. I asked if he was ok and if the last customers made a mess. (The 3 drunk ladies that were shopping ahead of me were treated with upmost courtesy.) They have a fine selection of stationary etc. Nothing to die for, though I would have loved to have picked up a magnifying glass. While I understand theft is probably high on this area, this was just rude behavior. Avoid.

It is well organized, full of Thousands of books for $1 dollar (Not all books are one dollar, but more than half!). They also have DVDs, and kids books.There is a big shelf as soon as you walk in filled with the books that most kids have to read for their English classes, and most for $1. And then you are finished reading your books, you can donate them back to this facility and it goes to further the efforts of the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.....win-win!! An added benefit for those who like to compost, Compost NOW accepts frozen compostable food scraps here from 12:30pm-2pm every Wednesday. Recycle some books, and recycle food waste.

This Barnes and Noble location used to be my main study spot when I was still in high school. There…read moreare many tables that are available for you to sit at and the inside is very spacious. The staff is also pretty nice and helpful if you had any questions. The only reason why I'm giving them four stars is because there are no outlets available if you had to charge your laptop or cell phone which is a bit of a hassle since most people usually use electronics for their studying. Other than that, this is still a solid Barnes and Noble in the Westbank area.

I actually visited here because I found out they actually had the JUST egg bagel which I had been looking for all over the country. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was in Harvey, LA of all places. The establishment was also very big, clean, well lit, and had a great ambiance to it. The customer service was good as well and I look forward to visiting again when I am in the crescent city. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!

Pricing is fair. The owner is helpful and a conversationalist, so if you enjoy those aspects of bookstores you should definitely stop by. I would recommend bringing a LED flashlight. The owner has a small one, and you can use your phone, but they're not bright enough for some of the nooks and crannies. Not entirely sure about its hours - was open during the week when I stopped by but not on Sunday.

There's a resident cat who wanders around saying hello, which just adds to the cozy, quirky atmosphere. The place has so much character -- books tucked into every corner and that perfect "organized chaos" vibe only the best secondhand shops manage to pull off. I could spend full days in here and still not see everything. Easily one of the best bookshops I've ever visited.

Definitely a very large selection of used books and it rewards those who like to browse and find something unexpected.

As an English teacher, I spend way more time in bookstores than other stores because the nerd in me…read moreis just enraptured by them. I happened upon Tubby and Coos completely by accident as I had set out to visit one of the neighboring shops and they caught my attention by their PSA sign out front. I walked in the store, and the Sci Fi nerd in me just jumped out as the first thing I saw was Doctor Who. There are a great variety of other books as well, many that appeal to the YA audience as well as the alleged adults of the crowd. I actually ended up picking up a book on the history of the Carnival Krewes of New Orleans, so there really is a bit of something for everyone. The store is small, but there are two stories of goodies contained therein so make sure you take your time to enjoy it all.

We came across Crescent City Books while doing a walkabout in the French Quarter. With cocktails in hand, we strolled through CCB.

Overall, great experience.
