Books

"Just never came home! I went by the bookstore and all his books are gone too."

- Gloria Parson

Books was a small shop run by Harold Parson on Skid Row in Pauper's Drop. After his disappearance, the store was shuttered by Ryan Security.

History
Harold Parson wanted to help educate inhabitants and improve the conditions of Pauper's Drop, leading him to open his bookstore in its poorest section, Skid Row. Aside from the usual publications, he began stocking and advertising Sofia Lamb's controversial book, Unity and Metamorphosis.

When word got out that he was spreading Lamb's policies, he suddenly disappeared and his shop closed down. He left his wife and child behind in The Sinclair Deluxe wondering where he was.

BioShock 2
When Subject Delta arrives at the bookstore, the front door is locked. However, a hole in the wall of the backroom of the neighboring Dr. Hollcrofts allows access to the Control Panel to unlock the door.

The bookstore has been stripped down with only advertisements for Sofia Lamb's services and a Women's Club adorning the walls. There is a Safe, an audio diary, and some ammunition around the front desk.
