I have completed this game twice now and have made everything in this guide accurate to the best of my ability. Please let me know if anything is unclear or if I got anything wrong. This is my first guide so please go easy on me. Thanks!

I'd also like to note that this game is new and several people have run into bugs. Some elements of the game are clearly flawed and I hope will be fixed in future updates. That being said, I found the game to be very fun and enjoyable.
Recommendation Tips
Recommendations are by far the most fun and most frustrating part of the game. My best piece of advice is to not take it too seriously. It's good to succeed, but failing has no negative consequences. There are even some items that make failing beneficial: The doll from the flea market and the Blabla compendium book from Moira's Secret Seventh memory.

Here are some strategies I've used to make this process easier.

1) Prioritize requests that use language like "I need x" or "I won't leave without x". Some things are more important to the customer than others.
2) Someone requests a book for a genre you don't have anymore? Check other genres for books that qualify. For example, let's say someone wants a mystery book. You can go to the kids section for a Nancy Drew book or fantasy for a Dresden Files book.
3) Some of the genre names are misleading. Fantasy includes both fantasy and sci-fi, as well as some horror. Crime includes mysteries, thrillers, and horror. Drama includes literary fiction, plays, and romances.
4) If someone gives a contradictory request, such as a long (ie 700+ page) play, don't stress. Pick the one that the customer feels more insistent on.
5) This may sound obvious, but do not give them a book they say they like. They'll respond that they've already read it.
6) This is more of a business tip than for recommendations, but it's related. Try to let the inspiration buff run out before starting the next recommendation. You want to have inspiration active for as much of the day as you can.

Now lets cover some of the odd requests people make and what they mean.

Historical: Believe it or not, not every book set in the past is historical. If you want to use a classic, make sure it wasn't contemporary for its time. These customers more often than not want a fact or travel book.
Fantasy Without Magic: This is a particularly stupid one. They don't want sci-fi. They want something like Dracula, or a book with fantastical elements without things like spells.
Niche Books: Honestly, pick a title you don't recognize and hope for the best. Focus on other parts of the request if you can.
Coming-of age: The best option is to pick any YA
Hobby/Passtime: Pick a fact or travel book about something the average person can easily start doing. Cookbooks should be your default.
Tragedy: They specifically mean this as a book with a sad ending. Book with many tragic events doesn't count.
Romance: They don't need a romance book. They will take any book with a romantic plotline, including The Hunger Games and The Odyssey.
Nature: As far as I can tell, they always want a nonfiction book.
Animals: Any book with animals in it. Does not have to be nonfiction. It's easiest to look through kids books.
Long Book: Unless otherwise stated, assume they mean more than 700 pages.
Short Book: Unless otherwise stated, assume they mean less than 200 pages.
Biography: They are also fine with memoirs and autobiographies.
Pop-Science: These are science books meant for a general audience to understand. If they don't want pop-science, try to a book that's about something very specific, or a fiction book if the requests allows for it.
Series: Even if they say they want to start a series, any book in a series is okay, including the last book. I've seen some people get denied for books they know have sequels. If you can, stick to books that reference other parts in either the title or description. Yes, if you're curious, the encyclopedias count as a series.

Let me know if I forgot about anything and I'll add it in the future.
Stamps
The next few sections will cover all the stamps for every location. Before moving on, allow me to give you a tip. For the most part you shouldn't worry about getting every stamp for a location before moving on. Some stamp quests can only start after other events have taken place. Feel free to move around a lot and explore.
Waterfront
Ahoy Matey!

Talk to the old sailor sitting on the stairs to the left.

Show Off Your Catch

This is a simple one you should unlock naturally. Sailors normally want travel books.

Ship Happens

Talk to Walt after the second stamp is finished. Buy maritime equipment from Walt. The life preserver he gives you counts.Talk to him again to complete the quest.

Feed The Stray

Click on the dog to unlock the stamp quest. Dog is on the far right. Get a fish from Walt's shop on Wednesday after unlocking the fish market. See the above stamp for how to do that.

Adopt The Stray

At night after feeding him, you'll get the option to adopt the dog. Say yes.
Cafe Liberte
Meet Tilde At The Cafe

Unlocked when you unlock the location. It's exactly what it says. Just show up and she'll meet you.

Know Thy Customer

Eventually Maryam will come out of the cafe and start putting you to the test. I believe this always starts the third time you visit. Put my advice to good use and you should be fine.

Beacon Of Taste

The next test, unlocked after you complete the last one. All of the rest of the stamps will work like this. You can find good classy items at the flea market.

Hard Times

If you're struggling, feel free to save completing this for later when you have a larger selection of books or more items to increase sales chance. More importantly, click on the dumpster to get the spoiled fish. This will be important later.

Sustainable Sales

After the trash one, this should be easy. Remember that you'll be forced to go to events at the end of a season, so don't start your streak two days before an event.

Rich in Variety

Use recommendations wisely, and remember that some books can fall under multiple genres. Customer asks for a classic and you need to sell a fantasy? Find a classic fantasy under the fantasy section.

Be Observant

I'm recalling all the answers from memory. I'll correct anything I get wrong later. Again, I apologize. 1) Sunday. 2) Anything Warm. 3) Kids. 4) A Croissant.
Far Beach
Afternoon At The Seaside

Unlocked when you unlock this location. This one is straightforward.

The Adventure Begins

I'm 99% sure it is impossible to start this quest line outside of Summer. Harper will talk to you to start this quest. Stalk up on fantasy books and this should be easy.

For Bookstonbury!

Unlocked after the last stamp is finished. All of the stamps here follow this trend. This is actually one of my favorite story lines in the game. I recommend following it through over the course of a summer. As for the quest itself, keep the item Harper gives you equipped and go through a few days. You can leave the beach and still collect money.

An Empire Of Sand

Just gotta sell more fantasy. If you've done it once, you can do it again!

Evil Under the Parasol

Same advice as the fantasy one.

Go For The Kill

Same as above.

And Then There Were Some

Since this is tied to crime sales, I'd say to locations where people buy lots of crime books. Besides that, same rules as Harper's money-collecting quest.
Mega Marche
Going Shopping

Stamp Unlocked the same time you unlock the location. Just visit three times to finish the quest.

Mega Savings Day

Klaus will tell you about this after visiting a few times. Show up again on a Monday

Become a Sellout

Unlocked once again by Klaus while visiting this location. The easiest way to do this is to have very few books shelved at the start of the day. You can buy a 8-book shelf at the flea market.

The Case Of The Hideous Mascot

Unlocked after the Mega Savings Day stamp when visiting on a Monday. I'd recommend having fun exploring on your own. If you get stuck, there are the main things you need to do. 1) Fern will mention talking to someone who works at the story. You can wait for Klaus to do this, but I've found this step unnecessary. 2) Click on trash can in the bottom left of the parking lot to find a knife. Talk to Fern. 3) Go to the cafe with the knife equipped. Maryam will recognize it and tell you who had it. Eventually the perp will see your notes and confess. 4) The next time you run into Fern, he'll talk to you about it. I believe you can respond however you want. I kept my lips shut.

Silens Libre X Mega Marche

This can only be unlocked after reaching a certain point in Klaus's story line. Specifically, after he goes on tour. Visit once after unlocking the stamp to complete this. I recommend buying the merch.
Saint Bookston University
Halls Of Knowledge

Unlocked the same time you unlock the location. You can always talk to the professor on the bench. During orientation week there is a stall in the background.

Assigned Reading

Unlocked at an unknown point at this location. Sell 15 fact or Classic books. This should be fairly easy while school is in session.

Academic Relevance

Click on the lady sitting on the bench near the cart. Note that you need to give a perfect recommendation to pass. AKA, you get hearts. Some of her requests are nonsense while others are reasonable. Be patient with yourself and reset the day if you start getting frustrated. It took me many tries to get my three recs.

There's More To Life

This stamp quest only starts during finals week, but can be finished afterwards during a different part of the next semester. I wasn't able to get the stamp during the semester break. This may be a coincidence. You can see when finals week happens is on the calendar in the journal. Stalk up plenty of books besides travel, fact, and classic and you should be good.

Lo-Fi Study Sessions

Also during finals. Moira gives you the quest. You can find plenty of calm items at the flea market and in the newspaper.

Graduation With Honors

Talk to Madam Wen after completing all of the above stamps
The Lighthouse
To The Lighthouse

Unlocked at the same time you unlock the location. Visit once to finish.

Am I The Drama?

Unlocked by going to the location and talking to Tomasz. Selling Dramas should be very easy at this location. Prioritize them during recommendations.

All The World's A Stage

Unlocked by going to the location and talking to Tomasz. Plays can be found either under classics or dramas. If you are looking through your selection quickly to find one, most plays are just under 200 pages. That should make them easier to spot.

The Cost Of Greatness

Unlocked after the last two stamps are done. Visit different times to give Tomasz money for his production. You don't need to get the more expensive option, but it will result in a better show later. Tomasz will also be salty with you if you get the bad lights. Doesn't affect the achievement, though!

The Performance Of A Lifetime

Unlocked after the last stamp. Keep the item Tomasz gives you equipped until completed. You can visit other locations and still sell tickets. Talk to him again to get the stamp.
The Castle Ruins
A Piece Of History

Unlocked at the same time as you unlock the location. Visit once to finish the quest.

Campfire Stories

Click on the kids by the campfire to the left. When recommending stories, remember that they are kids and don't give them mature books. You get a free recommendation once a visit by clicking on them again.

Research Badge

After the last stamp, Anne will talk to you. Works basically the same as the above stamp. It may be harder since the kids might not ask for an animal or nature book.

Archaeology Badge

Unlocked the next time you visit after completing the last stamp. Stalk up on fact books and you'll be good.

Hiking Badge

Unlocked after the last stamp. Keep the item Anne gives you equipped. You can move to different locations and still collect signatures
The Flea Market
Antiques and Vintage

Unlocked the same time you unlock the location. Visit once to finish the quest. Remember that the regular market only opens on Saturdays.

Treasure Hunter

Harper will show up to give you this quest. Things you bought before the quest started don't count, so hold off on buying anything until she shows up.

Your Big Debut

To unlock this quest, talk to the guy at the stall slightly hidden by your hard. He will give you a typewriter. Keep it equipped and interact with it until you're done. Your options don't matter.

Ice Cold Business

Talk to Moira at the Winter Market. This is the same advice I gave for the Mega stamp. Have a small number of books using the 8-book shelf. Talk to Moira after selling your last book.

Tis The Season

Unlock this by clicking on the shop to the far left at the winter market. You can buy festive items here and at Anne's shop to the right. After equipping your items, click on the girl again to get the stamp.
Bookston General Hospital
Annual Check-Up

Unlocked with the location at a point in Tilde's story line. Visit once to finish.

Fuel The Rumour Mill

Talk to the doctors on the bench to the left. By the time you get to this point in the game, you should find this quest pretty easy. If not, it's fine if it takes a few days.

Up To Code

There is a shady guy to the far right. Talk to him to unlock the stamp quest and buy safety equipment. Talk to him once you have three items equipped.

Medical Match Maker

Unlocked after the Rumour Quest. Stalk up on drama books and you'll be fine. Feel free to sneak a romance in even if the customer doesn't request one.

Community Garden Fundraiser

Unlocked after Tilde's hospital stay. Keep the item equipped. You can visit other locations and still make money.
Rye Park
Note: I recommend completing these stamps alongside a Fern memory quest. I believe you should start that quest upon arriving at the park but I'm not sure. If you don't, it's not a big deal. Also, no club will appear in the rain or during winter.

On A Spring Stroll

Unlocked at the same time you unlock the locations. Visit once to finish the quest.

Chess Is Life

Talk to the chess players while visiting on a Monday or Wednesday.

Become A Brainiac

Talk to the students while visiting on a Saturday.

Exercise Under The Sky

Talk to the people doing yoga while visiting on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Writing Is Fun (I Swear)

Talk to the circle of people while visiting on a Friday or Sunday.

Boost The Book Economy

Unlocked after Fern joins the writing club. Visit on Friday or Sunday and talk to the group. After that, just keep visiting until the quest is complete.
Memories
These involve some very cute story lines, and are in general more spoilery than the stamps. You'll unlock most of the quests just by hanging out at various spots. It's less clear than the stamps what triggers each event to start. Even so, I'll do my best.
Tilde
Delivery For Tilde

Unlock this quest by going to the cafe. Tilde will speak to you and ask you for help. After starting the quest, pick up her boxes to the far left and take them to the flea market. Reminder that it is only open on Saturdays.

Visiting Hours

A while into the game, Tilde will tell you she is getting surgery and will be in the hospital for a while. Show up to the hospital when she tells you to. You will be assigned three quests over the course of at least six days, one day to get the quest and one day to complete it for each quest. You can do this even if Tilde has already been released. Just visit the hospital with your item and she should show up to get it. You'll even get different dialogue this way.

A Nose For Business

This is unlocked after Tilde's surgery and after the Cafe stamps. Tilde will give you a list of criteria to complete. This one will complete during the conversation, as well as other milestones you've already reached. See the below memories for more details.

The People's Bookseller

Get a gold/core memory with four other characters. Moira and Maryam's memory only counts as one. See the other character's guides for more information.

All The Gear And No Idea

You need to get some extra selves. You can pick some up at the flea market, Walt sells one, and from the newspaper.

A Worthy Heir

Receive this memory by talking to Tilde after completing the four other steps.

(Almost) Flying Solo

Earned after Tilde gives you the shop. The game should make you attend this event. You get the memory when Tilde talks to you the first time you run the shop. Holidays or events such as the fall festival don't count. Note: I ran into a rare issue my second time where the day Tilde's meant to hand me the keys coincided with another mandatory event. The game made me attend that one. Thankfully, Tilde's event triggered the next time I visited the Cafe.
Anne
The Villose Pitcher-Plant

Unlock while visiting the university. Anne will give you the plant. Keep it equipped while you work at inland locations.

The Bleeding Heart

Anne will give this to you after the last memory. The awning may or may not affect this based on what I've seen in the discussions. It's taken some people a good amount of rainy days to see any results. I suspect stormy days might not count for some reason, and that's why people are confused. Either way, keep at it and you should get there at some point.

The Bane Of The Wolf

Again, unlocked after the last memory. It's simply the reverse of the first plant.

Anne's Research Project

After raising all of the plants, Anne will eventually finish her project. She'll come to talk to you about it.

Anne's Graduation

The game will force you to attend Anne's graduation. Afterwards, you will unlock this core/golden memory.

The Language Of Flowers

Anne will give you this quest about halfway through spring. You can find flowers at her shop at the flea market, or in the newspaper.
Fern
The Stories of Bookstonbury

One a day at the university, Fern will approach you to talk about the printing press. On a future day (doesn't need to be at uni) he will give you a poster. I recommend keeping it up at all times. You can get manuscripts all over the place. The three easiest ones are from Walt, who will have a bit of a quest line, Tilde, who will see the poster and get to work without your help, and writing a book yourself. For the last one, see the Flea Market stamp section for instructions. Other manuscripts can be found after Anne and Klaus's arcs, and from two of the mysteries. It's possible there are more I haven't seen yet. There's no achievement for finding every manuscript.

Patron Of The Print

Connected to the previous memory. He will give you a donation box. Keep it equipped. You can go to different locations and still earn money.

Telling Stories

An odd core/gold memory since it's in the middle of this story line. After completing the above quests, visit him at the university and click on the building right of the shop. Make sure the manuscript poster is equipped or he won't show up.

Fresh Off The Press

Print any of the manuscripts. The game will automatically prompt you to do this.

Spread the (Written) Word

While recommending books, suggest the manuscripts you've printed. You can see the genre of each book when printing them. Fun fact: Walt's book counts as kids, nonfiction, and nature for requests. I found his to be the easiest to recommend a bunch.

It's All About Popular

This quest is disconnected from the above. At Rye Park, Fern is nervous about joining a club and will ask for your help. Visit every club on the assigned day.
Walt
Clearance Sale

Talk to Walt whenever you go to the Waterfront. Eventually he'll give you the quest. It's simple and can be done in two days if you have enough money.

Hot New Deals

After the last quest, he will give you a sign to display. Keep it up for this quest. Selling 30 books in a day shouldn't be too bad and will get easier as you progress in the game. On the day you finish this, Walt will talk to you after you close.

Treasured Shop

Talk to Walt after completing the last two memories. You should get this right after the last one. It's a core/gold memory, likely the first most players will get.

Spin A Yarn

This is disconnected from the above story line. After starting Fern's printing press arc (see his section for more info), talk to Walt. He'll ask you to recommend him books until he finishes his manuscript. Keep talking to him and recommend books like you normally do.

The Cruise Ship Must Go

This is disconnected from the above story line. Unlocked during tourist season (see the calendar in the journal) when you visit the Waterfront. To do this, you need the spoiled fish you can collect during the Cafe stamp with the dumpster. If you've already done that and don't have the spoiled fish, multiple people have verified for me that you can use a fist bought from Walt. Equip it and go to the Waterfront during tourist season. You'll get the memory at the end of the day.
Klaus
Album For The Ages

Unlocked at Mega Marche. He'll ask you to recommend him books for inspiration. The first time I played, recommendations only counted at Mega Marche. While playing a second time, it seems it works anywhere.

Calling All Fans

Klaus will give you a poster. Keep it up until the quest is complete. This isn't area-specific. It took me a while both times I've done this request. Don't get discouraged and feel free to focus on other things while this goes on in the background.

Going Stage Diving

You can only get the stage after completing the lighthouse story line. After that it should be automatic the next day.

Concert Coordinator

Unlocked and completed along with the above memory's completion.

Too Loud For The Library

Attend Klaus's concert. The game should force you to do this once everything else is in place.

A Rusty Proposition

While visiting Mega after the concert, click on Klaus messing with his van. He'll request help collecting parts. Make a note of the names of the parts. There will be decoys. They won't help with the quest but will give you fact points when equipped. You can find two parts in the newspaper and the other at Walt's shop. Make sure the parts are equipped so you can give them to Klaus.

Goodbye Klaus

After the last quest, wish him goodbye at the Waterfront. The game should force you to do this. This is another core/gold memory.
Maryam
Emotional Support

Unlocked and finished as part of Tilde's hospital arc. See Tilde's section for more information.

A Course Completed

Unlocked and finished as part of the Cafe stamps. See the Cafe Liberte section for more information.

A Family Matter

Visit the Cafe to see Maryam and Moira fighting. After completing The Seventh Rule mystery (see Moira's section), visit again to unlock this gold/core memory.
Moira
Who's Afraid Of Books

Unlocked during fall. Moira will approached you a ways into the season and tell you to decorate your shop. You can find spooky items at the flea market during this season. You'll get the memory at the end-of-season event.

A Chat & A Cuppa

Unlocked and completed automatically upon visiting the winter market

The Secret Seventh

You unlock this memory quest after visiting the cafe and watching her fight with Maryam. She'll talk to you ashamed and after a few talks will start this quest. I'd once again advise you to mess around yourself before using my guide. The story line for all of the mysteries are cute. First, Moira will tell you to go talk to Walt. He'll have you buy a book for 25g. After that, Tilde will come talk to you. I'd recommend going to the Cafe for the best chance of running into Moira again soon. They'll tell you to meet them at the lighthouse. Once there, assuming there isn't another event that night, she'll trigger the ending cutscene. Your dialogue options don't matter.

A Family Matter

Go back to the Cafe after finishing the above memory to get this gold/core memory.
Harper
On Seashell Varieties

Visit the beach during summer. She'll ask you to look for seashells. Keep the jar equipped. For me, it took a few visits for seashells to appear.

Sandcastle Architect

Unlocked and completed during the beach arc. See that section for more details.

Mysterious Noises

Unlocked at the beach after the last memory. Explore the caves with Harper.

Restore The Crest

This is my favorite story arc of the game. It starts during the prior memory. Keep the jar equipped. I recommend exploring yourself. If you get stuck, here are the locations of the pieces: The statue Wen gives you after you recommend books to her (see the university section). The fountain at the cafe. The grave yard at the castle ruins. Harper will take the pieces from you once she has them all and combine them, ready for you the next day.

One For The History Books

Take the crest to the statue at the university. That evening, talk to Harper. You'll get this core/gold memory.
Achievements
Hobbyist bookseller: Recommend any book successfully

Accomplished Bookologist: Recommend three books in one day. Use the guide I gave you if you need help.

Master Bibliophile: Recommend five books in one day. Same as above.

Social Butterfly: Keep going to new locations and you'll get everyone eventually. This includes every character in the journals and Tomasz at the lighthouse.

Something Begins: Happens automatically at the end of summer.

Full Moon: Happens automatically at the end of fall

Tis The Season: Open shop at any point during the winter market. This starts winter 15th.

Spring Hath Come Again: Happens automatically at the end of spring.

Anniversary: Just play for a full in-game year.

Paperback Writer: See my instructions on how to write a book in the flea market section.

Good Boy: See my instructions on how to adopt the dog in the Waterfront section

Meow!: You will get the cat as part of Tilde's arc. Spoilery explanation: When she's going into surgery. See her section for more information.

Be There For Tilde: This is unlocked naturally as part of Tilde's arc, at around the same time as you get the cat.

Fish Taste Better Fried: Finish Walt's Arc. See his section for more details.

Absolute Menace: Scare off the tourists. See Walt's section for more details.

Floof!: Click on the sheep a lot. You'll find them in lots of places, but especially at the lighthouse.

Et Tu, Brute?: Finish the lighthouse stamps. See the lighthouse section for more details.

No Silence In The Library: Attend Klaus's concert. See his section for more details.

Seagull Literacy: Keep the raw fish (received during the cafe stamp quest line if you click on the dumpster) equipped for multiple days at the Waterfront. You will get this achievement eventually.

Safety Risk: Get your danger level to 100% by equipping dangerous items. The easiest way to do this is to use the raw fish at the Waterfront for an additional 50% risk.

Family Feud: Finish Maryam and Moira's arc. See their sections for more information.

Tiny Plant Shop: Equip a bunch of plants. You can get some as part of Anne's story and from her shop at the flea market.

Beginner's Luck: Win a chess match at the park. I've won every time I played white and lost when I played black. Not sure if this is a weird coincidence or just how the game works. The chess group meets on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Perfectly Balanced: Attend the Yoga meetings at the park until you manage it. It only took me two tries. They meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Mascot Rescue: After completing the Mega mystery stamp (see Mega's section for more details), the mascot will eventually show up for sale in the newspaper. Buy it.

Hot Off The Press: Finish Fern's arc. See their section for more details.

Master Of Plants: Finish Anne's Quest. See her section for more details.

Spelunker and Spelologist: Finish the St. Bookson mystery. See Harper's section for more details.

World Tour: Finish Klaus's arc. See his section for more details.

Super Sleuth: Solve every mystery. There are a total of four I've detailed in other sections. 1) The mascot mystery (see Mega) 2) The cave mystery (see Harper) 3. The St. Bookston mystery (see Harper) 4. The Secret Seventh mystery (see Moira)

Friends Til The End: Collect all core/gold memories. I know the achievement says all memories, but that it false. I got it before I finished all of Fern's memories. You can see instructions in all of the memory sections.

Stamp Collector: Collect every stamp. You can see all of my advice above.

Mega Fan: Equip every piece of mega merch. Funny enough, it doesn't have to be all at once and you don't need to go anywhere with it. The merch is as follows: the Mega sign, the Mega Mascot, some merch from Klaus's fan shop (available after he goes on tour), and the Mega red paint. Klaus's manuscript, available after he gets back from tour, is also tagged Mega but I've heard multiple people say you don't need it for the achievement. I can't test this, so I'll include the information just in case.

Bookworm: Sell 30 books in a day. Get more shelves, learn which areas like what books, and get better at recommendations. Equip many items for different genres.

Scholar: Sell 60 books in a day. A little harder, but same advice as above.

Mass Appeal: Sell 90 books in a day. This is best achieved on flea market days or my equipping items to increase your overall customer count. I believe in you. My record is 115 books in one day.

Sunk Cost Fallacy: Go bankrupt. This is easiest early on into your play through. Basically have very little money on you and visit a location that costs more than what you have.

Sold Out!: Sell out all your books you take with you. This is easiest using the 8-book shelf.

Private Library: Have 1,000 books. Once you have the money for it, buy books whenever you see them.

Moneypants: Have 1,000 gold at once. Easy late game when you make about 400 gold a day. Just save up for a bit.

Vast selection: Have 100 books in the store at once. You'll need some bigger shelves from the newspaper or flea market for this. You get a debuff from this but I honestly think having the extra books is worth it. The debuff ends when early into the day once you sell some stuff.

Second Hand Horder: Have 100 items. Buy things whenever you can and you'll get there.

Crime Cracker: Sell 20 Crime books in a day. Go to locations like Mega Marche where people buy a lot of crime books.

Drama Llama: Sell 20 Drama books in a day. By far the best place for this is the library. The hospital is also good.

Classic Connoisseur: Sell 20 Classics in a day. Do this somewhere like the university or cafe.

Fact Finder: Sell 20 Fact books in a day. I highly recommend using the university for this.

Fantasy Freak: Sell 20 Fantasy books in a day. The beach or flea market are your best bet.

Chaos Kid: Sell 20 Kid books in one day. The beach during summer is ideal. Beach in other seasons for the castle ruins also work.

Tips for the following: You might be tempted to fill your whole shop with one genre. Don't do this. Most customers alternate between two genres. If you don't have any from one genre they want, it doesn't matter how much they like what you do have. They will leave when the fail to find a book. Use your recommendations wisely. One counter-intuitive strategy is to purposefully fail recommendations for people you know aren't buying the genre of choice.

Huge Criminal: Sell 40 Crime books in one day. I managed this at Mega Marche.

World Traveler: Sell 40 Travel books in one day. I managed this at the Waterfront.

Drama Destroyer: Sell 40 Drama books in one day. I managed this at the Lighthouse

Classic Collector: Sell 40 classics in one day. I managed this at the Cafe Liberte

Hip With The Kids: Sell 40 Kids books in one day. I managed this at the Castle Ruins, though I only tried because it was winter. The beach is certainly the better option.

Factually Accurate: Sell 40 Fact books in one day. I managed this at the University

Fantasy Fanatic: Sell 40 Fantasy books in one day. I managed this at the Winter Market on the last day of the season. Likely also would have been easier at the beach during summer.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading. I hope it is helpful even though at this moment it is incomplete. Please let me know if I got anything incorrect, though I ask that you be kind. This is my first time making a guide and I promise I tried to be as helpful as possible.

@Amairylle I had a a similar issue. If I remember correctly, the game forced me to go with one and then I was able to do the other later. I think it was Tilde's birthday, and I just had to go to the Cafe later.
Amairylle 28 Sep @ 9:08pm 
Help, Tilde invited me to her birthday party, but Klaus' concert is on the same day. What do I do?
Pinkamena Diane Pie 11 Sep @ 11:37am 
Спасибо огромное за этот гайд! Не могла понять как получить куклу из Мегамаркета, а оказалось все не так сложно. Да и вообще нашла для себя много полезного! Благодарю!

Hi Bereoleona! Basically any book that is described as poetry. It doesn't seem to count works like Shakespeare plays even though they are technically poetry.

Hello, I wanted to to verify a comment to verify something for The Cruise Ship Must Go.
I missed getting the rotten fish playing in the beginning on my own. I was about to restart the game, but I saw that I could use a regular fish and it might work.
This was a day in fall, two days before the ship was going to leave(and I finally looked it up) I put the regular fish on my table at waterfront, and it did indeed work! Wanted to confirm that it worked for me.

Great guide! Thank you for this!

Hi! The only ones I'm aware of are the ones I listed in Fern's memories. I know at some point Harper mentions working on a book of drawings but even after doing all of her quests and keeping the manuscript poster up, I never got anything.
