The concept behind this book is great. My players really enjoyed discovering tomes and making use of their downtime to study them.

For the price, it's a terrific find. I only wish there were more tomes included. I'd gladly pay more!

I'd love to have included more tomes as well. Maybe in the sequel :) thanks for looking and for the review!

I absolutely love litte things like this that can provide more meat to low-level (or even high-level) rewards and treasure, without just handing my players another satchel of coins.

What I like

This is a simple, but well considered sub-system. It strikes an excellent balance of granting interesting benefits to characters without risking the balance of your party. Even if only one of your players decides to use the system, it is unlikely to cause them to overshadow anyone else. Obviously, there are ways this could be abused, but they're definite edge-cases, and far less risky than rolling for random treasure.

What could be better

Not much honestly. There are one or two odd bits of formatting and haloing around an image but overall the book is well laid out, clearly written, and chooses art well to illustrate the content. More sample books would always be appreciated, but the book includes plenty to get you started.

Will I be using it?

I think I will be. My party will be passing through a noble's library in an upcoming session, and I think I will definitely seed it with a couple interesting tomes. It'll be interesting to see how my players respond.
