Book Street was a hard-packed dirt and gravel paved[1] street in the city of Waterdeep that ran from Dock Ward into the Trades Ward.[1][2][3][4]

Geography[]

This street began in the Dock Ward, running north off of the Street of Curtains. As it made its way northward, Book Street had Candle Lane[1][2][3][4] and Black Wagon Alley running east off of it, as well as Black Well Court opening west off of it.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

As it was met from the east by the boundary road Drakiir Street, it transitioned into Trades Ward. Shortly afterwards, it was met from the west by the boundary road Shesstra's Street. Eventually, the road terminated on the south of Soothsayer's Way.[1][2][3][4]

Notable Locations[]
