D&D General Stocking libraries - a brainstorming thread

[Bohandas]

335.) The Rap of Raps
336.) The Book of Punch and Judith
337.) The Book of Questionable Wisdom

Yes to this thread!

Perusing your local library's catalog will present an exhaustive list of titling inspiration. Sort by genre to stock shelves applicable to the collection's owner. For example, a noble lord might be well-served by having histories and biographies define his holdings whereas a collection of arcane tomes might predominantly feature science and nature materials.

[robus]

I’m sure someone listed this but

Pride and Prestidigitation

popped into my head while reading this fantastic collection

 

[Bohandas]

369.) The Book of Ecclescakes

 

[Eltab]

370 Home and Castle magazine - make those cold drafty fortresses more comfortable and cheerful places to stay
371 Playdrow - X-rated material, some drawings, mostly written. Even an advice column (full of bad advice that will start feuds)
372 child's coloring book. The older children are rather skillful artists
373 Ye Olde Recipe Book - several of these, from different lands with different crops / herbs / meat beasts
374 Man vs Food - this guy ate Chimera steak after the fight was over
375 Drizzt's Combat Manual - a total fakery; teaches showman-style, not deadly combat, use of blades to impress the inexperienced

 

[Bohandas]

376.) The Book of Eye Balm
377.) The King With Jaundice

 

[Sadras]

378) The Stalks and Eye (a beholder's memoir)
