The Librarium, Study

[The Librarium, Study - 8212623]
The ground floor of this little structure resembles a study, its many shelves overflowing with aged tomes and scrolls.

In the Common language, it reads:

The books for sale come with one chapter on Mount Aenatumgana and have some basic functionality.

A flimsy manual (sold in the case) will give your book more personality and will allow you to add more chapters (the papers, available for purchase).

A sturdy manual (also in the case) can then give your book yet more personality.

The splendid manuals will give your books the most personality yet.

The books in this study have a scholarly flair, and only the chapters sold here can be added to them.

On the shelf you see: some white papers, some tidy papers, some neat papers, some curling papers, some aged papers, some tattered papers, some torn papers, some ragged papers, some yellowed papers, and some plain papers.
