This looks interesting, but from the preview I notice a few things:

1. This looks like it's intended for fantasy or pseudo-historical play, but a children's book is out of place in any society without mass printing. On the other hand, religious writing will only come up as a rare essay topic, when I would expect the genre to have a lot more writing dedicated to religion.
2. There is no early entry to have the contents encrypted or enciphered. Yet this is something people did, especially if they wrote about criminal methods (like forgery) or a forbidden religion. Without an explcit encrypted book option, the contents are never a mystery and making it encrypted has to be decided by the GM after seeing the contents. Likewise, there appears to be no random option for it being in a language the party can't read. Without a way to generate mystery it's of less use to solo players, too.

For example, if you roll 2 - 8 - 3 - 4 - 1 -12 - 3 - 6, your players could find a book whose cover is lacerated and whose title reads “Spellbook”. The book was bound by gluing and then locked by a locket. The pages are torn up and actually contain anatomy boards. A page is folded, serving as a bookmark, and leads to the most important page.

I hope this will help you !

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
