About

The owner insists that every book be shelved spine-out, even when the title is too long to fit. A small chalkboard by the door displays the day's pun, and customers who groan are told they have proven the joke works. Most books are ordinary bound volumes priced according to the standard D&D 5E book cost; the titles and contents are the shop's comic specialty.

Stash

5 items to steal

The stash · GM only

The shop's most tempting stock is kept in the back room, behind the counter and a narrow door fitted with a simple bell alarm. The day's money stays in the locked till, while the rare book and business records are kept near the owner's desk.

Security check: DC 14Dexterity (Thieves' Tools) to bypass the till or bell; Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) to lift small items unnoticed
If they fail: A bell tied to the rear stockroom door rings if it is opened carelessly. On hearing it, the owner emerges with a stout walking stick and calls for the night watch. A failed attempt that leaves obvious signs also prompts the owner to remember the intruders and refuse them service.
The whole haul: About 89 gp

Till and Change Roll18 gp
Kept: In the locked drawer beneath the front counter.
The day's change and a modest reserve for buying books from traveling peddlers.
Value: 18 gp, 34 sp, and 60 cp
Owner's Spectacles Case and Joke Notes2 gp
Kept: On the owner's desk behind the counter.
A worn spectacles case and a folded note listing favorite jokes, with several crossed out in irritation.
First Edition of The Duke's Guide to Wooing Ducks45 gp
Kept: Inside the glass-front cabinet in the back room.
A signed first edition of a popular comic volume, kept out of the public stacks because the owner considers it too precious to be handled.
Stock and Credit Ledger8 gp
Kept: In a shallow drawer beneath the owner's writing desk.
A ledger of supplier debts, customer credit, and a few private notes about which local patrons laugh loudest at which jokes.
Value: 8 gp to a rival bookseller; little value to anyone else
Brass Reading Lamp12 gp
Kept: On the writing desk in the back room.
A brass reading lamp with a green glass shade, purchased secondhand and carefully polished.
