Where is the bookseller in Stardew Valley
Twice in a single season, the bookseller makes his way to Stardew Valley on a hot air balloon. To pinpoint the precise dates of his arrival, simply visit Pierre’s general store and consult the calendar displayed outside. If the bookseller is currently in town, a notification will pop up on the calendar, alerting you to his presence.
Once you’ve confirmed the bookseller’s arrival, you can head over to him. He can typically be found stationed above Joja Mart, in the northeast corner of the town.
Offering an extensive array of books, the bookseller’s inventory expanded with the 1.6 update of the game. Now, you can purchase the new Books of Power, each boasting unique benefits, as well as Skill Books that grant experience in specific skills, and the special Book of Stars, which provides a boost to experience in all skills. With a selection of 19 distinct Books of Power, you will not have any problems in having one that suits your needs.
However, it’s important to note that while many of these books come at a reasonable price, some carry a hefty price tag, depending on their rarity and the enhancements they offer.
