In Tiny Bookshop, you run a roving second-hand bookshop on wheels, providing literary escapes to all who visit. Set up your shop around Bookstunbury and cater to its clientele. The visitors at Far Beach prefer Fantasy and Kids’ literature for that chill beach read, while the folks at the Waterfront enjoy books on Travel.
There are, however, a few places – The Lighthouse, Cafe Liberte and Saint Bookston University which attract a more dramatic crowd. Most notably, people who are looking for plays. Whether a budding thespian seeks a classic tragedy or a comedy lover needs a modern farce, we’re here to help you match the right play to the right person in Tiny Bookshop.
Note: This guide has been updated from its original publication in August 2025 with the new books that came out in the Winter Update on 18 December, 2025.
