This is essentially "12 Libraries, Books and Library Furnishings" and wouldn't stand as the best or the worst of the Dozen series.

The libraries each list several skill checks to navigate the library without problems, of which the Deepenstore has the most perilous and interesting variant. They share a common problem of serious damp.

The books are mostly magical with different effects. The items are magitech filling in the places of modern devices - if you like that sort of thing you could easily come up with these on your own.

Very interesting pdf on libraries and books. There are some great ideas for my next campaign, even if it is rather vague in a few physical descriptions. Then again, I guess that just leaves more room for change. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Good variaty of libraries, books, and objects. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: No pics to show what some of these places look like! Oh well, better fire up the imagination...<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

The PDF is a mix of fantasy libraries, books of interest to adventurers and a few new magic items. There's not a lot of content here, but what there is tends to be well-detailed.

That said, the PDF has a few ideas that seem like first-draft ideas that shouldn't have made the cut. Nice visuals aside, having a large library in a canal system, where books could fall into the water at a moment's notice, is just too silly to include, particularly as this hazard isn't even mentioned in the PDF. The other libraries are good, although few were as detailed as I might like, other than the druidic library in the branches of a great tree.

While this PDF is a start, the niche is not nearly filled, and it would be nice to see a product that goes into the subject in far more detail.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The books and magic items in the PDF are all quite well-designed, and the unseen servant-based ones were particularly good, and seem likely to be must-haves in any baseline D&D world's library.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Even as a value-priced PDF, this was light on content. I would have liked more books, more magic items and even more (non-silly) libraries.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Excellent ideas, perfect to spur your own ideas. One of them has already given me an idea for an adventure.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

This is a fairly nice little 'niche' addition to a GM's collection. The libraries listed are sufficiently diverse, so that one can be found for most any setting. They are given a good deal of character for the limited amount of space.

The books and themselves, while not badly done, weren't as interesting as the actual libraries.

On a side note, this company seems to print some good products, but they have a maddening neglect for proofreading. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: It appealed to my bookish nature, and the libraries (although not terribly historically chronicled) have a lot of personality to them.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: It felt a little rushed. Maybe they were just trying to keep the page count down, but it seemed like most of the things in the book could have been expanded upon.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
