That book does not look booktastic at all :/ Maybe if it was electronic...

Does he have the Little Book of Calm?

That is the ugliest book I’ve ever seen (I’m kidding), but seriously though, WHY ISNT IT GIANT!???

Don't care for this one, but the theme sounds cute. Hoping for nicer collectibles to come ^-^

I love the idea of books as a theme, but TNT doesn't have a great track record with wearables featuring books. I hope they come up with some better ideas. This book is NOT a good start! Although I'm glad it's not actually giant, there are already a couple of those.

Now that's something I would expect to hear at Bernard's booktastic books!

@spongegrundo - To which he would reply "Is this it?" while holding up a "Robot Rock" book.

Orange Grundo Survival Handbook depicted being read by Bernard the Orange Grundo of Booktastic Books Shop. So I assumed that was the item. Nope.

I also thought it would be a handheld book, but it is a lower foreground item. The pages turn. Same pages on a loop. The cover is blue but we never see it. Not sure if I like this enough to use it. Shame.

Such a bland and boring item. I expect something much better for 250 NC. The Neovian Printing Press Collectible Dress that they have shown at the bottom of the news page is also boring. I'll pass on the bookworm series.

The quality of NC items have been going downhill for a while. This is just another low. This book (and many other items) was drawn with perfect straight lines. Furthermore, it is jarring that the line colour of the top part differs from the rest.

Book is looking as old as Neopets like a stock photo straight outta Microsoft word images.

this looks AI-generated :/

who edits two images this awful?

The pages aren't even turning in the right direction....

I've been begging for more pencil and pen and sketchbook and general book related items for awhile on tnt threads, so I'm HOPEFUL. I agree this wasn't well illustrated, but... At least it's a lower foreground book that ISN'T giant taking up half the square. ...Ironic. Since it's named Giant.

How can they do worse than the grey collection? This looks just like a generic book, there's nothing here that resembles the booktastic shop

I am excited about the theme, but as an opener, this book is underwhelming.
by neolodgeism on February 4, 2025 1:07 PM NST
Really wish they would have done something more spacey and "booktastic"
by jawsch on February 4, 2025 2:55 PM NST
I'm getting tired of the NC Collectibles being based on Shopkeepers. Not all of the recent ones have been, but it seems like the vast majority are lately. I don't know why they took that theme and ran with it. I miss seeing items based on classic plot characters.
by tudorrose1558 on February 4, 2025 7:25 PM NST
For instance, the Busy Bookworm theme could be a broad one and apply to some Seekers wearables. I doubt they'll go in that direction, though. It will probably all be Book Shopkeepers of Neopia.
