Secure Spellbooks

You could pay someone to cast a Symbol spell on your book.

Great ideas guys! I'll see if I can find a copy of the Dragon issue and will get the Complete Arcane soon.

After reading the thread title, I immediately thought of researching a variant comprehend languages spell which lets you read and write 3DES-coded cyphertext (material component: the appropriate key, written on a scrap of paper).

...no, of course I'm not suffering from professional deformation!

I made a spell called book lock - no one besides the caster can open the book.

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

Wouldn't arcane lock do the trick without any new spells?

Would a Glove of Storing do the trick?

I have a wizard with four spell books, so far the GM has been very nice and not stolen any of them- course if he did he knows what would happen with the character (settle in to make copies from all the old books I have taken from our enemies using money made from Wand and Scroll crafting/making- not the best way to run an adventuring group).

I would suggest making copies, set them in the guild hall library, try to save up some coin for the thing that you know will eventually happen- lost or stole books.

When it does happen try to find it then retreat and start making new ones.
