I made this list for funsies, as my Mindchemist will probably be toting around a bit of a library in his Haversack soon. Thought some of you might get a kick out of it too. Author names come from Companion books, prominent Society members, some scenarios, and some players in my local lodge. I decided this character himself would author one.

Animal (Nature) - Principia Zoologica, published by the Wildwood Lodge

Though it can hold 9 cubic feet of materials, it is not so securely built as a chest, nor even sealed - one can typically glimpse the materials inside. The bookshelf has only 15 hit points and a Break DC of 17.
