The books are system-agnostic and will work with most systems. The different tomes are described in detail, including such as their name, author, description and when they were published. There are suggestions as to what amount of knowledge each book might contain and what effect they could have on the reader’s sanity, as well as more specific suggestions as to particular knowledge or spells that might be contained.

Most of the tomes pre-date 1930. Most of the books’ authors are fictional, but one is not nor are some of the events.
