Textbooks are precious. Especially martial textbooks. Everyone needs to know how to defend themselves.
; What is this shop for?
I sell textbooks for all sorts of martial arts. My visiting friend [[ProjectGorgon:Wintria Irasce|Wintria]] sells textbooks for some less-practical topics. If you've never studied combat by reading a book before, please allow me to give you a free lesson! Afterwards, you are free to use my study nook for your research!
; Can you teach me to write books?
If you already have excellent penmanship, I can teach you the basics of assembling a textbook. This includes how to bind and cover it. Of course, your first few textbooks won't be great, but if you keep at it, you'll eventually be able to make viable textbooks. And I will be happy to buy those textbooks from you!
