Explanation
Links with "(Book)" in parentheses are used to distinguish between articles about a subject and articles about a book with the same name as the subject. Articles about books without ambiguous titles do not use (Book) in the title. Articles with (Text) in parentheses indicate all or some of the actual text of the document. Title Links are to articles about the document, not to a full text copy of the document or book. The actual text, if available, would be the title followed by the word text in parentheses, for example: 'Kaphrimmoth (text).'

Guide to Availability Icons
The seven icons of availability rate a given text from zero to six, with zero meaning not extant anywhere and six meaning very common. The availability is relative and somewhat subjective. Availability means the likelihood that the given text will be found in a setting where it could reasonably be found, such as a library, a wealthy collector, or a merchant. The Incarnature is rated as '6' very common, but this doesn't mean you'll absolutely find it in the personal library of a wealthy collector who is secretly a chaos cultist. It is deemed very common because devout and harmonist Incarnandists are fairly easy to find in the Pallathantic and most all devout Incarnandists of any merit have at least one copy of the Incarnature, the seminal text of their religion, in their possession.
Many factors can affect availability, including the demand for the book, the year it was first published, political favor or disfavor towards the text, and institutional demand. A book may be deemed rare, but may be obtained with some effort by a powerful, well-established wizard through her network of colleagues and institutions. Finally, it is important to note that this availability rating reflects Pallathantic bias. The Book of the Tamdari is very common in far east, but very uncommon (3) in the Pallathantic. However, it is rated (4) as it can be purchased from larger booksellers and there is not risk of supply running out.
It should be kept in mind that books on Asdar cost anywhere from three to ten times as much as books on Earth. The rating system refers to availability of a legitimate copy of a text. Original copies are another matter and are often very rare, even if numerous copies exist.
