The tables below are an attempt to catalog the various books. By scanning from left to right, you will see the books you have to 'research' IN THE ORDER SHOWN. Reference numbers shown (preceded with `) were assigned for cross-reference purposes; those starting with a letter (`B12300) have more that one path of research (book required before this one)- you will have to look for that book listed elsewhere in the tables to find the other research paths. Books in parentheses ( ) are [assumed to be] rare books not available in any library (stolen by monsters years ago?), and must be found in the remains of monsters killed. Unlike the library books, these rare books may be placed in storage for later use. (The background color of this page is a reminder that libraries are shown as a red dot on the maps)
Price (in gold pieces) and size (in RP= research points) of each book (research time (in minutes) = RP/rationality) have been added in the form [25g450rp], and cross-links for books that have more than one group of prerequisites (i.e. must read first) are provided. The small hammer+chisel 
symbol (where shown below) provides a link to the appropiate item in the Production (manufacturing) page.
