A book shop is a store that sells books. These shops acted as suppliers of books and maps in the cities of Baghdad during the Abbasid Caliphate in the late 9th century,[1] and both Constantinople and Cappadocia in the early 16th century.[2]
The Mentor of the Italian Assassins Ezio Auditore da Firenze used akçe to renovate and visit the book shops during his adventures in the Ottoman Empire.[2]
