First Edition is a book store located in the Imperial City's Market District. [edit] It is found adjacent to the Gate to the Palace District, across the street from The Copious Coinpurse and next to The Merchants Inn.

The proprietor, Phintias, has 1200 gold and a Mercantile skill of 80. When bartering, he will buy and sell all kinds of books; among these is the unique scroll Document of Purile Banter, which drains your Personality and Speechcraft whilst fortifying your Endurance and Willpower.

The main trading room is on the ground floor and consists of a counter and a huge display of books. Phintias lives upstairs, as is usual with Imperial City houses and stores. His private quarters consist of a single room which serves as a dining room, work-room, and bedroom.

Notes

• The First Edition is the largest bookstore in Cyrodiil, as well as being the only one in the Imperial City.
• Among the books on sale many are very rare ones which, in addition to the bookstore being a popular destination for all manner of learning, explains the shop's involvement in a number of quests.
