AD&D Exploring Magic-User Spell Books Rules...

The Evil Dungeon Master Universe

Magic-user spell books are essential for spellcasters, typically consisting of one or two books upon completing their apprenticeship. There are two types: standard books, containing a higher number of spells, and traveling books with fewer spells. Costs for these books vary based on spell levels, and new spellcasters often receive their initial books from their masters. Standard spell books are made of durable materials and have specific dimensions, with protections against damage.
