One of my players, a 13th level wizard, has just had his spellbook stolen. It's a long story and I won't bore you with the details. Suffice to say, the thief has more use for gold than the book, and is willing to ransom it back to the wizard. I'm wondering how much he should ask for.
I don't know exactly how many spells he's got in the book, but at least 28 (4 at 1st level and 2 for the next 12 levels), plus probably 8 or 10 more that he's picked up along the way.
Obviously, to the wizard, it's invaluable (and I'm betting it'll teach this player to keep back ups from here on), but I'm not sure how to calculate a relative value that the thief should ask for.
Thanks for any advice.
