===Childhood development books===
In ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'' a new non-rabbit hole bookstore was introduced on market lots in certain [[sub-neighborhood]]s. In ''World Adventures'', books can be bought at the market bookstore. There are no lots [[Lot assignment|assigned]] as libraries in ''World Adventures''' foreign countries, but plenty of bookshelves. To buy these books you must talk to the Sims at the [[Register#The_Sims_3:_World_Adventures|book register]] at the respective market.

The Sims 3


See also: Book

A bookstore is a rabbit hole in The Sims 3 where Sims can buy and sell books and other forms of literature. These include cooking recipes, fishing books, music sheets, skill books, alchemy recipes[TS3:SN], and comic books[TS3:UL]. Sims can get a part-time job in the bookstore as a bookstore clerk. Snob Sims are more likely to visit the lot that contains the building.

Bookstore rabbit holes generate the following red map tag in-game:
