Description summary:
The success description varies based on the Apocrypha Sought and who you are Wandering the Stacks with.

ApocryphaDescription
101The book is midnight blue, its pages water-damaged. […] it hurts to look at. As though it came from a place far from here, a parallel where the light is brighter and perhaps kinder.
201The book is the size of a large folio […] it resists being opened. […] lists of names, categories, authors, dates; commentary from Special Constables and Ministry bureaucrats. But it's hard to keep the words in focus; the letters seem to jump and sway.
202The book is bound in […] Living human skin – it's warm, and the hairs stand […] as you handle it. "A work of a Citadel-Archivist," says the Shepherd, not explaining whether he means an archivist that lives in a citadel or a citadel that is also an archivist.
203The book has an unassuming blue cover. Some agent used in the binding makes the eyes water. It's much heavier than it looks.
