can the alchemist learn any spell not just ones listed in the formulae from a spellbook? our interpretation is he can learn any spell except for those with focus requirements.
All classes have a specific list of what they can and can not know as a spell/formulae. A Wizards can not learn the arcane version of Cure Light Wounds. An Alchemist may not learn from a Wizards spell book any spell/formulae that is not included in the class description for what formulae he can know.
