Where to find the Bookseller in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley has been an active farming simulator that has been going strong since 2016. Longtime players who have been around since the game launched have a good understanding of how important the Lost Books are for gameplay. These books play a crucial role in gaining new perks and boosting existing skills. That said, this gameplay mechanic has become more advanced after including a new Bookseller NPC in the title's 1.6 update.

The Bookseller acts as a merchant who is always ready to provide you with precious items in exchange for old books. While his inclusion sounds like a fun addition to the game, he is always traveling and therefore, difficult to locate. This article will explain where you can find the Bookseller in Stardew Valley.

Finding the Bookseller in the game can be a bit tricky because he travels constantly. This means you can find him only twice during a season, owing to his date of arrival changing every time. However, the exact dates of his arrival can be found on the community calendar, which is located right outside Pierre's General Store. Here is how you can find him:

• Visit the Pelican Town and go to the top right part of the map.
• From Pierre's General Store, walk towards the right.
• A little later, you will come across a river that you need to cross.
• Soon you will arrive at Joja Mart, from where you will need to head up.
• Ascend the staircase. You will find the Bookseller here.

However, you will most likely fail if you arrive at this place on a random day. To avoid missing the Bookseller's appearance, make sure you check the community calendar to know exactly when he is setting up shop. You will have time to trade with Marcello on the scheduled date because he will be behind the counter of his traveling store all day.

Before you pay a visit to the Bookseller, it is advised to have some Lost Books and cash in reserve. The prices for items such as skill books will change each time you visit, with some even setting you back by thousands of g+. The seller will remind you before you purchase an item you already own.

If you have plenty of Lost Books you don't need anymore, the Bookseller will be happy to take them off your hands. In return, he will be able to give you various resources that will be essential during your playthrough.
