The Monomyth Facade

Situated a block off Main Street, The Monomyth Facade is a small, eclectic bookstore specializing in used and rare books. The owner, Angie Clifhart, can almost always be found watching over her shop.

Store Rules
The bookstore holds some unorthodox rules for customers. Books are free to borrow, so long as they're returned in the same condition within a timely manner and the customer has demonstrably learned from it. Otherwise, no prices are listed on books and any existing publisher prices have been obscured. Customers are encouraged to make an offer and prices are bartered from there, however Angie often names a fair price to start the process off for first time customers. The Monomyth also accepts trades, including published works, first person accounts, historical artifacts, and the like.

There are no posted hours of operation, except a handwritten sign on display in the window stating "We are usually open, but knock if you're unsure." It has become fairly common knowledge that Angie's residence is in an attached neighboring building, despite a lack of residential zoning.

Physical Description
The Monomyth Facade has a rather narrow, yet long floorspace. The front, street-facing wall is mostly window and all other walls are lined with shelves. Bookcases of various size and style fill the room in no particular order and do not form discernible rows. It is often made understood that the system of organization is described as "organic." Customers are encouraged to follow the flow of the lore, though Angie is usually willing to help find specific works.

In the center of room is a sofa and two armchairs situated around a coffee table with a few side tables, upon which books can often be found piled. To the left of the front door is a desk at which Angie is usually stationed. While a variety of books and objects may be seen on the desk at any given time, always present is a massive ledger of all books currently in stock, a guestbook that all who enter for the first time are encouraged to sign, and what appears to be an old IBM computer from the '90s with unusual custom modifications. Those who can perceive fae nature can see that it is hedgespun.

The floors, tables, shelves, and the main desk are all made from various hardwoods. While the walls are mostly covered by shelves, what is visible is plastered with an old-style floral wallpaper. Against the back wall in the left corner is a heavy door, sealed with a multitude of locks.

Secret Collection
Regulars may learn of a Angie's "Secret Collection." Stored in a locked basement, the collection is rumored to contain a variety of sacred and ancient texts, mostly magical in nature, as well as tokens, hedgespun goods, and other magical artifacts.
