D&D General D&D spell list books?

I have significantly downsized my RPG collection in the last 24 hours. I am keeping my copies of Ba5ic for my future fantasy RPG needs, though.

Ba5ic, for those unfamiliar with it, is a simple fantasy RPG built on a chassis of 5e but with that old school feel. I love it, BUT the one thing I think it needs is more spells. Let me explain.

The core rules only cover level 1 and 2 spells, with the expectation that you'll plunder other sources for more spells (it's pretty much compatible with all editions of D&D). So... what spell supplements should I be looking into?

I own the Dragon Tree Spellbook, Theorems & Thaumaturgy, and am aware of the old GameScience Book of Mighty Magic (IIRC, that's the title). What other books of spells exist in that same vein? What are your recommendations?

Book of Lost Spells (2021, 5e, Frog God Games): Book of Lost Spells (2021)

700 spells

Tome of Spell Mastery (2024, 5e, Frog God Games): Tome of Spell Mastery

400 spells and various class options. Not sure if the class options will work for Ba5ic. The first book listed, Book of Lost Spells is just spells and there are a lot of them. May be the better bet.

Kobold Press, Deep Magic Vol. I & II gives over 1000 spells. I find Kobold Press content is better play tested and edited than Frog God Games. Deep Magic: Volume 1 & 2 (2023) - Kobold Press Store

See the 5esrd.com site for spells, including third‑party spells.
