I have noticed that at various points in the AP it is spelled out what the various spellbooks of the NPC casters contain.
I think this is good and is certainly of great benefit to a PC wizard in the party.
But I am running the AP for a party with only spontaneous casters. So I am wondering if I should tweak things to be more relevant to them.
Also if anyone has already worked out the sell value of the various spellbooks that are found I would appreciate not having to add everything up.
Ugh. Spellbook values are a nightmare, especially with the number of spellbooks you get in RotRL. I was extremely thankful in later APs when they started putting in the values.
For spontaneous casters the Mnemonic Vestment allows them to use spellbooks to prepare spells. I felt it was a bit too weak (ONE prepared spell per day?), so I created my own pair of spectacles that allowed my player's sorcerer to prepare up to 3 spells using his own spell slots, whose levels could not add higher than 9.
It was *slightly* too powerful.
But maybe an item that allows a sorcerer to prepare ONE spell from a spellbook per day and use his or her own spell slots to cast that spell would be a nice treat.

Note: These spellbooks only contain the 0-level spells from the CRB unless specified in the NPC's statblock. If you wanted to include the 0-level spells from other sources, the prices would have to be adjusted accordingly.
Lyrie Akenja: 515 gp (257 gp, 5 sp)
Caizarlu Zerren: 954 gp (472 gp, 5 sp)
Mammy Graul: 1,805 gp (902 gp, 5 sp)
Barl Breakbones: 3,580 gp (1,790 gp)
Mokmurian: 71,310 gp (35,665 gp)
These are all I've gotten to, so far.
How are you doing spellbook values? Some of those values are a LOT higher than what I gave my PCs. I used this thread to do the calculations. Basically
0---------------5 gp
1---------------10 gp
2---------------40 gp
3---------------90 gp
4---------------160 gp
5---------------250 gp
6---------------360 gp
7---------------490 gp
8---------------640 gp
9---------------810 gp
Plus 15 gp for the book itself.

These are all I've gotten to, so far.
FYI (pardon the threadomancy) the spellbook in the sawmill (which was presumably stolen) is worth 635 base price (sell for half this)
SO:
Lyrie Akenja: 515 gp (257 gp, 5 sp)
Caizarlu Zerren: 954 gp (472 gp, 5 sp)
Justice Ironbriar: 635 (317 gp, 5 sp)
Mammy Graul: 1,805 gp (902 gp, 5 sp)
Barl Breakbones: 3,580 gp (1,790 gp)
Mokmurian: 71,310 gp (35,665 gp)
