“That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.”

 

Nestled within the Fransican Square lies a small building quite on the edge. It appears overgrown and perhaps even Poorly kept. Yet if one decides to venture further towards the building they may notice the small display in the front of the ground level window filled with fresh titles that changed every other year. Taking a look to their left they may notice the small sign within the window which seemed to be forever stuck on the side of open. Did the store ever shut?

 

Ground Floor

 

As one entered the small store, a strong  scent of Bibliosmia would hit any of those who entered. It was as if this store was more of a library then what the sign stated just outside. The space within was bursting with books to the point it was difficult for one to move around with ease. The shelves at least seemed neatly organized as every section was neatly labeled and prices were labeled on those books that were for sale. As well as a notable kids area just by the door with many toys for any young ones that stumbled through.  If one moved to the back of the store a small staircase led one up to the First Floor.

 

 

First Floor

Upon reaching the first floor, an aroma fills your senses of Bibliosmia and the various potted plants that dangled from the ceiling.  It seemed no space truly was spared within the small room. Unlike the floor below no prices seemed to be upon these books yet instead it seemed to be a library of sorts even more so as if people could read as they wished within the confines of the shop. The small seating area in the corner of the floor added to this allowing those who seeked to curl up with a good book to read.

Allessandra de Vend, Owner of Secret Garden Bookstore

[DISCOLIQUID 2702]

A travelling medic purchased a wide, mostly reputable selection of academic tomes pertaining to botany & first aid. 

 

"Well worth it," she croaked, in terse appraisal. 

[Danjahb29 252]

“Too-tr-ing” he sounded out as he slowly read the service’s offered. “Maybe they can help me read?” Flotsam said to himself. “I’ll go find this bookstore and ask.” He determined as he turned and walked with a new purpose. 

[ChaoticRoller 635]

Aldotte say's "The experience I had upon entrance was exquisite, was treated kindly and fairly, if I were to rate my experience out of the unit of 'Starfish,' I would give it... 5 out of 5 Starfish!" He nods giving a wave good-bye to all those within the store presenting a happy warming smile as he'd take off out of the city.
