Special Collections: A Library of Magic Tomes

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Looking to add a little extra magic to the shelves of a library? This 51-page supplement details over 40 new magic tomes, scrolls, and maps drawn from every previous edition and also including many original items unique to this guide.

Are you about to try solving one of the Candlekeep Mysteries, or are you passing through Candlekeep on your way to Avernus? Do you find yourself on a hero's quest to the Thaumaturgic Athanaeum of Dekatia on Theros? Perhaps secret guild business has brought you to the Ismeri Library or the New Prahv Law Library on Ravnica. Or your campaign might lead you to one of Eberron's great libraries at Korranberg, the University of Wynarn, or Morgrave University. Whether visiting such a vast repository of knowledge or simply poking around in the dust of a wizard's personal study or a ruined tomb, be sure to take one more look at those shelves before you leave. You might be surprised what you find!

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.
