Lets have a quick run down of who is trading with who.
I mentioned Gregor, Tylara, and Alexandra would be the most likely to pry spells from his book.
As long as we have one person that is willing to share with everyone and that everyone will share with that person, we should be able to assume that everyone has access to everyone elses spells.
Well, to my knowledge, Durgeon is the only character who has even hinted that he might not trade with everyone. Perhaps it would be simpler if all those who feel the same way Durgeon feels would indicate who can achieve access to their books?
And there is one more little quirk in your assumption, FX: just because a person CAN access all of the party's spells, doesn't necessarily mean that that person WILL actually copy every single spell. So, say this person doesn't want, for example, three spells. And then say that there is someone else who is dying for those three spells, but the first person is the only one who will tade with this other person. See?
What you could also do is have every character make a "wish list" of spells that he/she wants that he/she doesn't have. Then, someone who has one or more of those spells can say, "Ok, I'll give you spell x." If you only focus on the spells that you are GIVING, instead of making everything a quid pro quo, then it should go more smoothly and everyone will have access to more spells, won't they?
And, incidentally, I've been reading through spots of the Spell Compendium lately, and there is some truly WICKED COOL stuff in there!! Not to even mention Complete Argane and Complete Mage. Complete Divine, Complete Adventurer, Complete Warrior and Complete Champion also have a few wizard spells, too.... LEAVE NO TERN UNSTONED!! (Sorry, flashback to the bad jokes of my youth)
Oh, and it's Gregory, not Gregor. It's my fault because we have an npc named Grygor. Sorry, Gregory.
