The Best Books for Every Genre

     There are many books around Neopia that can be read to your Neopets (as long as they don’t find them boring!) to increase their intelligence. If your pet reads enough books, they can reach the top level of intelligence, ultimate genius! Additionally, extremely well-read Neopets can be considered for the Neopian Book Award and the Booktastic Book Award.

     There are eight Neopian shops that carry books, and they all differ from one another. Some are themed according to their location, others have different mediums for carrying the text, and no two bookstores offer any of the same books. Here is a list of all bookshops in Neopia, their locations, and a little bit about them.

     Magical Bookshop: The main and original bookstore is located in Neopia Central. This bookstore is known for carrying the largest selection of books! They sell almost two thousand unique books of every genre, topic, you name it!

     Faerieland Bookshop: Located in Faerie City, the Faerieland Bookshop carries faerie themed books. Naturally.

     Sutek’s Scrolls: One of the stalls in Sakhmet City is their bookstore, which sells both books and scrolls! Their material is focused around the desert.

     Words of Antiquity: On the other side of the Lost Desert, this Qasalan store mainly sells tablets and scrolls. Most of the tablets are worn down and hard to read.

     Brightvale Books: Brightvale is known as the most intelligent land, so naturally they would have their own bookstore. Books here are mostly about Brightvale and how to gain more wisdom.

     Neovian Printing Press: Not a traditional bookshop, this store sells newspapers, guides, and brochures to help you navigate Neopia with ease.

     Booktastic Books: All the way up in Kreludor is the Booktastic Bookshop, which boasts its own trophy. They sell a variety of books, many are space or Grundo-themed.

     Moltaran Books: The newest bookstore is located down in Moltara, and the main topics it carries are fire, gears, and iron.
