He is seen enthusiastically welcoming Cream Puff Cookie into his store, boasting that they have every book ever written on Earthbread before being interrupted by the books themselves suddenly coming to life and running away. With the help of Latte Cookie, Cream Puff Cookie is able to catch the spelled books and return them to the Bookseller. As thanks, he gifts Cream Puff Cookie an old book titled "Legends of Old Parfaedia".
