I happened to be on my way to a hair appointment when I spotted The Book Rack on Metairie Rd. I…read moreknew immediately what I was doing right after the appointment! Normally I'm nervous about checking out new places alone, but this was a perfect solo adventure - the kind of cozy, cramped place that you don't want to have to squeeze past your friends to get around. Meeting Mrs. Cookie, who was just helping out the owner by watching the shop, and Big Boy, the little purse dog running security, also helped ease me into this new experience. Not only was Mrs. Cookie helpful in directing me through the overwhelming sections and willing to help me search for specific authors, but she was so personable and even had quite the interesting tale to tell me about her life - which all seemed so impossible that you would think she were a character from a book. Overall, there was an abundance of hidden treasures if you have the patience to look. I got a copy of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, and George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones (in like-new condition) at a great price! Come here for the oldies, but goodies, and the smell of thousands of pages that every book lover adores.

Stopped by ten minutes before close on my way to what I thought was Bank of America (nonexistent)…read more Sooo glad she didn't close early and I was able to meet the infamous bookstore kitty and score a set of the Brian Sanderson Mistborn series. Typically I come to browse and grab any good deals I find, but with minimal time, I let her know which authors I was interested in and she ultimately checked her car after scanning the shelves to get me this series that she was planning on reading herself! They retail 10-12$, but I got them for $8.50 each. Not the world's biggest deal, but cheaper than retail nonetheless. I'm grateful for the effort she put in to find me something to leave with especially so close to her closing time.

We sent him pics of what we wanted (at the time I was thinking I wanted an oval diamond). He chose 2 different oval diamonds & a princess cut and overnighted them for me to choose which one I wanted. If I didn't like any of those he was going to send more. Of course, they were all gorgeous but I chose the breathtaking Princess cut diamond. Jeff also included the GIA # as well as details about the diamonds, etc. with each shipment. Jeff was great about answering texts and calling to go into detail about questions we had. His pricing was excellent and craftsmanship of the ring was impeccable...it was exactly as I envisioned, but better! Unfortunately, the ring had to be resized as we had to have it done here in Las Vegas, but he made that a painless process as well. I had it back on my finger in less than a week. I am one happy woman! Thank you Jeff and I look forward to meeting you on our next trip to New Orleans !

I have found the most unique gifts for my niece and nephew here, and they gift wrap, too!

This place is an absolute treasure, DO NOT miss it when you're strolling on Magazine! There's something for everyone! #ThankYouThursday
