In the PH - immediately before the section quoted in the original post - it says, "You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest..." as an example of when you might find a new spell.It's not covered in the recently released errata either, even though there are two other clarifications to the spellbook rules on PH p.114. Not that that necessarily means the PH is correct and the DMG magic item listing is wrong, of course.TBH, I like the suggested meal vs recipe analogy which makes sense: the additional detail (plus scribbled notes, corrections, etc) you'd probably find in a spellbook would make it a more reliable source than a scroll version. Maybe it'll show up in PH Errata v1.2 ...</blockquote>
