			== Book Purchasing ==

			Per a forum post by HATESHI (they posted this in regards to several libraries; as of this moment only the Solhaven library and Wehnimer's Landing museum library allow book purchasing; the Wehnimer's Landing book purchase is 50k per GM Kenstrom)...

			<pre{{log2}}>
			While touring the libraries across Elanthia, I recently became aware that it is possible to purchase a copy of any given book that is available to be checked out via the standard library system. Naturally, being the typical GS player, I realized that I had to collect every single one of the books out there. Because that just makes sense.

			This is done by checking out and turning back in a book enough times until a random chance pops up where the librarian will offer to sell a copy of the book, basically because you like it enough. The purchase offer is, from what I can tell, entirely random. It could take 10 tries or over 200. (I actually ran across a bug associated with this, which fortunately the wonderful GH Sirilida and GM Naos were able address so I could continue the process.)

			Buying a book isn't cheap. After checking out a book a random number of times -- some of them were a bit over 200 checkouts before I got the offer -- you then have to pay an additional fee, which for the ones I purchased was 75-80k silvers. That results in a variable price that depends on the book sale price, the book checkout fee, and of course the random number of times it takes to trigger the sale offer. I was able to successfully buy all five books in the Solhaven library.

			After extensive testing, and apparently a massive waste of money (well in excess of 5m silvers at several libraries), I have gotten confirmation that only the Solhaven library is set up with this system in place. In addition, there is zero way for a player to see this on our end; it takes a GM looking at the library system in order to see if it was flagged on the back in this way or not.

			Ta'Illistim's library is NOT set up this way. I would like to request this be changed so that I can have the option of purchasing some of the books there if I am willing to sink enough funds into the process.

			Thank you for considering this.

	This page is a work in progress and I hope I have made it properly. I noticed that the searchwords LIBRARY and LIBRARIES led to zero results. Besides the library at Teras which I had all but forgotten until tonight, I recall some nice in-game CHE House libraries, a traveling book wagon, as well as a few treasure troves of historic documents on the web (such as at House Onoir's website). I hope this spot will be a place to gather links and info about actual "libraries" that hold bits of history including logs of significant events, player/character remembrances, and ::gasp:: even books! Maybe someday there can be a Libraries of Elanthia page on the gswiki for people who just want to find ways to play out their studies in-character or go dig around the web for MO HISTORY. It won't surprise me if I find other people have already begun or completed this kind of thing... let me know if you know more than me, so I don't reinvent the wheel or sliced bread or anything. :)		This page is a work in progress and I hope I have made it properly.

			Current to do list for this page includes:<br>
			- add an RNUM (Lich Room ID Number) for each entry that can be visited by players<br>
			- ask some of the modern scholars what else should be on this list, or if anything should be removed<br>
			- add an introductory paragraph, maybe enlist help to write/proofread/edit the intro<br>
			- post link in discord asking for other editors' critical reviews<br>
			- if this page is ready, link it where it belongs (not sure where that would be)<br>
