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.

Once you enter, the nostalgic aroma of aged books greets you, as well as the impressive collection of books. Warning for those that are claustrophobic, it may be a bit overwhelming. I found it to be quaint and also discovered a store cat lounging around! I roamed around for 45 minutes and still wasn't able to get through it all. With that, the selection is limited to dated books so if you're on the hunt for something throwback, this is your place. Located in the middle of a strip mall, there's parking at the end off to the left.

I was told I needed to know who purchased it (he received three - I don't know who purchased it from where), that they would not take a return, even for store credit, if it was over 30 days from purchase, that the medal had a scratch on it (brand new, still in box from their store medal), and that the person who gifted it should have left the tag on it. I have literally never had this much trouble trying to return an item.

I flew in and out of New Orleans with my friend Ivy P., and we spotted the magnet racks at this…read moreHudson News stand about a minute after deplaning. We're both moms, and we agreed to raid the place for presents on our way out. This gave us peace of mind for the next five days. No need to run around the French Quarter in search of New Orleans-themed souvenirs. I don't like souvenirs as a rule, especially the cheap breakable stuff you get at tourist-facing gift shops. I've decided, though, that magnets and Christmas ornaments are okay, and was gratified to learn that Ivy had come to the same conclusion. The magnet selection was quite good. I picked two, but there were four or five that would have been acceptable. I had less success with the Christmas ornaments, but that was okay, as my kids don't ask for those. I also picked up a New Orleans postcard, which I failed to post for lack of planning and postage. There were self-checkout machines, but also a nice woman working the stand. She pointed me toward the postcards and tried to help me send the one I bought (the lack of postage was determinative). Hudson News also has snacks and drinks and other souvenirs, but you already know that if you've been to the airport, and I'm realizing, too late, that no one needs a five-paragraph review of a chain newsstand. tl;dr if you need New Orleans magnets, this place has you covered.

He is a 2nd cousin that I have only met once, and that was a couple of years ***cough***read: decades***cough*** ago. Anyway. I know a book is scheduled to come out soon and am looking for one other of his. While I found none of his works here, I did not look too deeply, nor did I ask. I did find a graphic novel of a compilation of fairy tales that I did get. If I were not already nervous about coming into a store that is out of my comfort zone, I would have asked the guy working. Inside is very neat and clean and seemed to be well organized. I went on a weekend morning, and it was not busy at all. This seems to be an awesome place that a comic book or graphic novel person could spend all day in and I don't think the management would mind. There is plenty of parking in front, and this store is nestled in a small strip mall.

On the day that we were here, my friend was looking for something specific, and although they didn't have what she was looking for in store, they offered to order it for her.

I'm not really into comic books, but the woman working was super friendly and helpful and showed me around a bit and gave me an idea of what they have. I want to go back and bring David because he loves comic books and I know that he'd appreciate this spot.
