I would make these books something that are difficult to obtain, something circumstantial, or something relevant to only one players.Some examples are: a tome that teaches the players how to kill orcs (+2 damage against orcs), or A study book on the mathematical theories of arcane magic (the wizard reads it and gains a permanent +2 to arcana)</blockquote>
