Yeah, I agree with this to a certain extent.  You might need Mind Blank RIGHT NOW because you just pissed off that Demon Prince and now his minions are hunting you and scrying you.  Suddenly that spell becomes very, very valuable to you.   (Once again, Supulchrave's story-hour demonstrated this very well)  I think there's more value in trade when it comes to spellbooks anyways.  I'll trade you this spell that you don't have for this spell that I need.  But maybe that other wizard is a rival and doesn't trust you and barters a magic item out of the deal - or whatever.For non-spellcasters, trading a book for a service might be better.</blockquote>
