Huh. So much to read. It is true, Gunji and I have discussed this before. The idea is that it is difficult to come up with effects for every book, and not every book is an artifact. The idea is that we make pages for the books. First Edition copies, of course, which are not usually artifacts, receive their own category. There has never really been any discussion [that I am aware of] with regards to whether or not every book listed in the Section is an artifact. So, basically the pages are more or less bookmarks. If, at some point, we decide to make the book(s) artifacts, we already have a base page to jump off of. This also helps to fill blank spaces and without a need to add them to the artifact list.

Since we're on the discussion, I might as well ask Garr about the equipment he had suggested. I thought an artifact that kept the books from deteriorating further was a good idea, allowing people thousands of years from now to read things written thousands of years before we are now living in. I saw it in the comments in the Library Section, but if you can provide a brief summary of the ideas so we can all see it.

Also to add, Gunji has made pages for only 11 books that are not artifacts. Given how many he has made, that's not a big number, and the sections he's worked on look a lot more full. As long as the non-artifact books are categorized as such, there isn't really an issue. Although, given the few books at the moment, perhaps a key on the section to mention which book pages are not artifacts?
