Tiny Bookshop Second Shelf Guide (How to Get One)
The second shelf in Tiny Bookshop gives you more display space to stock books, raise sale chances, and expand genre variety. Unlocking it early helps you sell more each day and keep customers happy, especially in locations with mixed reading preferences.
How to Unlock the Second Shelf
The second shelf is obtained by buying book-holding furniture from NPC vendors once they become available through story progression. Vendors such as Hilde at the Flea Market and Walt at the Waterfront Square can sell shelves and other furniture with book slots.
Smaller options like an 8-slot chest can be bought from Hilde shortly after helping her reach the Flea Market. Larger shelves, which can hold 40 or more books, are usually found through Walt or other special vendors and often cost between 200 and 250 coins.
Preparing for the Purchase
To get the second shelf as soon as possible:
Complete early quests to unlock Hilde and Walt

Save at least 200 coins early so you can buy the larger shelf when it appears
