Other books for inclusion

Astrology Book

Special Salvage

This tome, penned in the early sixth century, insists that insight and understanding of the world can be found in the stars.

	 Worn tome

You recovered this worn and moldy tome from an Outcasts' hideout. The strange, rusty red text appears to be Russian.

Crystal Codex Fragments

Arcane Salvage

It is said the Crystal Codex was written in the language of the gods. Indeed, the shards seem capable of trapping immense power within them.

Demonlogica

Arcane Salvage

It is well known within the mystic community that the author of this book lost his mind just after completing it.

Elemental Manual

Legacy Chain Salvage

Tomes like these are commonly found among the Legacy Chain. They contain a mishmash of spells and diary entries dating centuries back.

Spirit Guide

Arcane Salvage

Even death could not stop the scholar Randall from completing his great work. This essential mystic resource lists every spirit type, from the Spectral Pirates from Cap au Diable to the ghosts that haunt Croatoa.

Treatise

Luddite Salvage

The Luddites never go long without extolling the virtues of Martin Henri's treatise on the evils of modern technology.

Page from the Malleus Mundi

One of the missing pages from the book of the world, the Malleus Mundi.

Volume of the Obsidian Librum

See also: Volume of the Obsidian Librum Salvage Uncommon Invention Salvage (Low-Level Arcane)

One of many copies of the multiple volumes of the Obsidian Librum.

Strange tome

This tome, titled On the Dissolution of Psyches, may have something to do with the changes in Sister Psyche's host, Aurora Borealis. You found it on a Circle of Thorns mystic.

Circle texts You recovered these dusty tomes from a Circle of Thorns base. They may help Azuria figure out how to help Sister Psyche.

The Madeleine Casey's mission Get the tomes from the secret library lists a different book with every glowie, including a cooking book for the Eye of the Newt. I'm sure there's other times where glowies give names of books out there.

There is also the 'Zeitspielraumexperimente' in the mission Investegate the base ((Edit: link doesn't want to send to the actually mish)) in the Ubelman the Unknown arc, but I will be adding that one soon. TayJK 12:55, 18 September 2007 (EDT)

Books with 'The' in its title

What's the consensus on books with 'The' at the start of its title? Remove 'The' or keep it? Some books are getting special preference over it, so either keep it in all books which have it, or remove it from all of them? Obviously, this doesn't apply to books where it's not at the start, such as As If By an Occult Hand: Secrets Behind the News, and Hammer of the World: Incantations from the Abyss for example.

I've been following this rule of thumb - drop "The" unless the book title doesn't make sense without it. Examples: The Real Faultline, The Truth.--GreyDog 16:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
