<< "An Accounting regarding the Island  with the Castle of Iron" >>

- SNIP -

As this book seems pretty much an explorers society (or diggers) dream come 
true, it seems to me the other books are likely on the same vein...

With that in mind, book titles could range from "An Accounting of <insert 
name of little known island, castle, ruin, church, cave system, ancient 
sewer, etc.>, which would include all the same kind of information as your 
original book <maps, trap descriptions, etc...>  to something more specific, 
like "An accounting of Syrenth Traps" (which I wouldn't recommend unless you 
want to make your pc's both paranoind and knowledgable..)  But that aside, 
here are two suggestions:

"The Widow" - by Alana Riguere - an account of various ways to sneak poison 
into a victim, as well as a description of various types of poisons, what 
they are made of and how to distill them.  (The title comes from a song by 
Mercedes Lackey called "Black Widows in the Privy.")  

"The definitive Gargoyle"  - by Hildeguard Aucher  - a detailed study of the 
habits of gargoyles.. including a way to discourage them from attacking, or 
settling in your area  (which no is a common practice in many places - 
setting up a stone gargoyle of your own..).  Should also include commercial 
value of dead gargoyles, a disection of one's anantomy, mating habits, life 
span.. etc.  Should your players memorize the book, they should likely gain 
some Lore Skill in 'Gargoyles'.  Not quite sure where they would put that on 
their sheet though..
