 65-100 Book of no significance**

*In MyWorld, there occasionally are found books containing spells not found in the AD&D rulebooks, created by the Dungeon Master and released into the game as a spell unknown to most spellcasters of the class.

**For creating randomized libraries, books of no significance are usually in sets of d30 volumes; this increases the number of insignificant books found in the location, while minimizing the work on the referee, who need only announce that the characters found a 13-volume set of dwarf cookbooks.  Books of no significance need not be useless or worthless.  Instructionals in various skills (such as riding), histories or journals, theses on various religious or political questions, bilingual dictionaries and grammars, and legends of maps or treasures in an area can all have great value in the campaign.  You might include a copy of Hargin of Selna's Cults of the Past, if you're using them for background material.  This listing only indicates that the book is neither magical itself nor a book of magic spells.
