	The Book Nook is a quiet, even if sometimes busy, bookstore. It sells a wide variety of books, from 'How-To' instructions and cooking recipes to tabletop RPG supplements, comic books, and graphic novels. Whether one's interest is fiction or non-fiction, adult, teen, or child, there seems to be something for everyone, all arranged artfully and creatively with arcing bridges of books overhead to mark the entry and exit of each 'aisle', and many 'hidden rooms' made through the arrangement of books and shelves stacked floor to ceiling that can be found. More traditional reading spots are also available, with seating that accommodates various body types and sizes. All in all, it's a bibliophile's dream store. It's even said that it might be bigger on the inside than the outside, thanks to all of the back rooms and hidden locations, but this is mainly a marketing tactic to make little kids excited. Across from the Book Nook are a cafe and a coffee shop, meaning there's a place to get food and beverages to indulge in while one reads just across the plaza.
