A worn, pragmatic primer used to teach townsfolk literacy and basic sums. Simple exercises, ink-smeared margins.

None

Monthly almanac with tide tables, shipping schedules, and a smattering of local rumors useful to sailors and merchants.

None

A sturdy quill and a small vial of dark ink. The glass vial is sealed with wax stamped with a wave motif.

None

Ten sheets of clean parchment, useful for maps, letters, or hastily-scribed contracts.

None

An illustrated book on basic navigation: reading stars, coastal landmarks, and simple compasses.

None

Notes and recipes for poultices, infusions, and sleep draughts aimed at everyday maladies.

None

A collection of local sea-folk stories and drinking songs. Popular with sailors and apprentices.

None

A small, lockable blank spellbook bound in oilcloth. Designed for apprentice spellcasters.

Lock is simple; provides minor protection from casual theft.

A practical reference listing common plants, their effects, and first-aid treatments; the poisonous entries are briefly blacked out — for safety, claims Ira.

None

Ledger for tracking catch, shares, and small loans. Comes with waterproofed cover and a smudged pencil.

None

A colorful board-style tale that has become a nursery favorite among dockside families.

None

A slim scholarly volume exploring elemental interactions. Slight water-stain across the spine but otherwise intact.

Contains marginal notes that hint at a simple ritual to calm small water elementals (DM discretion).

Compiled municipal ordinances, tariffs, and common penal codes. Useful for merchants and low-level officials.

None

A pressed sea-lavender bloom sealed between waxed paper to mark one's place in a book.

None

A hand-drawn map showing a nearby stretch of coastline, some shoals, and a marked cove. Edges frayed; authenticity uncertain.

Map may lead to a small local encounter or hidden stash (DM discretion).

Sketches and brief descriptions of common coastal creatures, hazards, and tide-behavior—handy for low-level adventurers.

Contains a lined entry for recording personal sightings.

A small wooden box used by scribes to keep notes and coins safe. The lock is simple but functional.

Lock provides minor delay against casual theft.

Shop Atmosphere

Ira hums quietly like lapping water when thinking and tends to habitually dampen the cover of a book with a fingertip before selling it — an old family superstition to 'let the ocean approve.' Ira will often trade a small discount for interesting rumors, a neat map, or a salvaged trinket from a shipwreck. Speaks in soft, rolling sentences and organizes the shop by 'mood' rather than genre (sea, hearth, law, lore), making a guided tour worthwhile.
