A Steampunk Community

The Tick Tock Book Shop is now Open!

Looking for a light read at the end of a hard day of avoiding death and destruction at the hands of various mechanical creations? Seeking a possible alternative future? Wondering about the past?

Look no further than the Tick Tock Book Shop! Placed just inside the Mechanix Inn and Oddments Shop you can find ancient tomes of wisdom and some that might be in the future... from H.G. Wells to Jules Verne to more recent additions to the literary field - and all for free! (Although donations will be graciously accepted, of course!)

Come and find some great stories that you may have always wanted to read but never found the time... or the book for free! The contents will rotate every few weeks so don't think that one visit is all you will ever make to the Tick Tock Book Shop!

I will be present from time to time, deep in my own literary pursuits, so don't be surprised to see a clockwork dragon sitting deep in thought and scribbling frantically with a pen...

Come one, come all to the Book Shop!

((OOC: All books are free via Project Gutenberg as per the sign inside.))

((OOC: Just trying to give back a bit to the community - no SL items; just external links and a few notecards!))
