Tiny Bookshop: How to Get More Shelves

Expanding your storage in Tiny Bookshop involves purchasing specialized furniture from NPC vendors. These items become available as you progress through the game and build relationships with characters like Hilde and Walt.

Where to Find Shelf Vendors

  • Hilde’s Flea Market: After assisting her, she offers an 8-slot chest and similar storage solutions.
  • Walt’s Waterfront Shop: Sells larger shelves for approximately 200 coins once unlocked.
  • Specialty Items: Unique options, such as a sailor’s 250-coin boat bookshelf, provide high capacity at a premium.

Understanding Shelf Limits

Storage capacity varies: small furniture may hold 8 books, while larger pieces store 40+. Temporary bugs causing shelves to malfunction can often be fixed by reinteracting with the item the next day.

Quick Expansion Strategies

  • Prioritize quests to unlock vendors faster.
  • Check shops frequently for restocks and limited-time offers.
  • Budget coins early to afford high-capacity shelves as soon as they become available.
