A great compilation of in-game books. Listing a little of their backstories, and potential uses for the books. Easy to create hooks and plots with the books as the goal or the books guiding the way to the creation of some lost lore.

On the downside, no index of books listed within nor the ability to create bookmarks in the pdf. It would be nice quickly flip to the desired book without having to memorize this booklet.

I had actually just thought a few weeks back that bookmarks would be really useful. Unfortunately, bookmarks seem to be something that Scribus is poor at, rather like tables. If I can get it to easily add bookmarks, I\'m going to do so. Otherwise, it will probably have to wait until I get InDesign.

My opinion - this is cool! Though players may find its in-game use sort of limited, its contents can add an entirely new and unexplored dimension to game play. Some of the books are described as being valuable only as a collectible, but others have potential to be something more. The in-game use of the books is also described by the authors in an open-ended fashion - i.e. "Though this book could be useful for someone with the right skills, for most it just helps their chances at being able to do something basic". But any decent GM/DM won't have too much trouble in planning out side-quests and adventures around any of the books that this product describes. I mean, who doesn't want to collect various bits and pieces from monster corpses (scales, feathers, organs) and make some sort of cool potion out of them!
