Mark your calendar, because every year in Stardew Valley is jam-packed with fun events.
The Bookseller is a bit unique when it comes to vendors in Stardew Valley.He appears only twice each seasonon two random days, but each season has a set of days that he could possibly visit on, giving you an idea of when to check for his presence. The other aspect that sets him apart from other vendors is that his stock is rather random, with only a few books being guaranteed to appear if you haven’t purchased them yet.
Where To Find The Bookseller
When the Bookseller sets up shop, you can find himabove JojaMart. Since he only shows up twice a season, it can be easy to miss him. However, the game gives you a bit of help when it comes to reminders about the days he’ll set up shop. If you look at the calendar, there’s a little hot air balloon on the days that the Bookseller will be present. Additionally, you’ll see a message pop up in the morning that the Bookseller is there, saying that he’ll be in town that day.
The Bookseller’s Items
There’s quite a bit of variation in what the Bookseller has in stock each time he shows up in town, much like the Traveling Cart Merchant. However,a few books will always show upin stock, such as one that increases your running speed and one that lets you see the value of items in your inventory. The full list includes:
