Players in the Tiny Bookshop are discussing the best way to track which book genres sell best at specific locations. While the game provides some tools, players have identified key limitations and are requesting better in-game data to help with their sales strategy.

The Player’s Goal: Optimizing Sales Strategy
The main objective for players is to stock the most profitable book genres for each sales location. The in-game descriptions of what a location “likes” (e.g., “The Mega Marche liking children’s books”) are often considered too simple or are questioned by players’ own sales data.
As shown in the discussion, player experiences can vary widely. One player found Fantasy and Crime novels outsold Children’s books at the Mega Marche, while another had the exact opposite experience. This highlights the need for reliable, personalized sales data to confirm trends and avoid confirmation bias.
The Current Method (And Its Limitations)
Currently, the only in-game way to track sales by genre is to use the in-game calendar. However, the community has pointed out several major limitations with this method:
- No Location Breakdown: The calendar shows you what you sold each day, but it does not link that data to the location page. You must manually remember or write down where your bookshop was located on a specific day to analyze the data.
- Data is Temporary: This is the biggest issue raised. The calendar only shows data for the current season. Once the season changes (e.g., from Summer to Fall), all sales records from the previous season are lost and can no longer be viewed.
- Manual Tracking is Tedious: Players find the process of flipping through the calendar day-by-day to be difficult and would prefer an automated summary.
