A bookshop favored by the academics and intellectuals who swarm around the universities in Edgebury. The shop is cramped and stuffed to the rafters full of books from across the history of Albasa and the Kalhom Empire. Books are valuable items in Albasa and the oldest ones can fetch astronomical prices. This means they tend to be bought by the aristos which in turn means that the academics have to make a patron of the wealthy individual in question in order to get access to that book and their broader library. The bookshop is therefore visited not just by those who actually study the books but also aristos looking to show off their wealth and be thought of a cultured. In turn this attracts those who seek the favor of aristos for other reasons – the gawkers come to pester the rich and beautiful with petty requests. As a result the shop is usually as packed with people as it is with books.
