The Bibliophile Map: Mount Vernon District Routes and Landmarks

What does the Mount Vernon district look like?

Everything in The Bibliophile happens inside a few city blocks of Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood, apart from the sewers beneath it. The Washington Monument, a tall column topped by a statue of George Washington on a traffic roundabout, is the landmark in the middle. Your bookstore is to the northwest of it, the Peabody library to the east, a small park with a stone fountain just to the west, and the music school further south.

The game never shows a map, but you can steer by that roundabout. Some streets are named in room titles, such as the West Branch Alley and the East Branch Alley.

Which direction strings connect the main places?

A line made only of directions means a run of moves. Type each direction as its own command.

Two of these strings start from different points. The library string begins in Coffey’s office, and the Engineer’s Club string begins in your bedroom, so that the first s takes you off the bed.
