Description summary:
The description varies with 
Apocrypha Sought.
| Apocrypha | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Von der regeronge der stede | […] pierced through, neatly, with a silver needle. It seems like a desecration, thought the attempt has been neat: none of the text is harmed and the needle can be withdrawn. Within, each page bears a hollow mark like a medieval wound of Christ. |
| 2 | The Last of its Kin | […] The Last of its Kin grouped amongst other stories of finality: last testaments, wills, excised gospels to doomed faiths, the final roll of kings of a vanquished dynasty. The book is badly damaged, left to moulder here amongst other inadequacies. |
| 3 | The Other Half | You find The Other Half in a collection containing astronomy, astrology, prophecy and fortunes that never came to pass. An orrery whirrs overhead while a thousand clocks of every type slice away the hours without pity or compunction |
| 4 | Should it have been Otherwise | You find Should it have been Otherwise amongst a great gallery of hagiographies and martyrologies. The walls here are crimson, stuffed with paintings and tapestries and brass pedestals on which stand the effluvia of saints and prophets. |
| 101 | Symmetries of the Deep Zee and Sky | Here it is: the book you seek. […]
I imagined such a place had to exist, just as the Is presupposes an Is-Not, law presupposes a prison, […] […] All routes are valid, […] make your way to the Reading Room, and then effect your escape thereafter. S |
| 201 | Index of Banned Works, 1899 Edition | Here it is: the book you seek. […] Its neighbours are fellow travellers in censorship and bureaucracy – indices of banned poets, legal treatises on the sentencing of debtors. This section of the library has an unpleasant cast to it. |
| 202 | Annal of Lost Stars | You find the registry in a section filled with malleable and mutable books, the work of Shapelings and Starved Men. Scrolls made of still-living flesh, books that unfold across different directions […], texts written in ink that fluoresces like glim. |
| 203 | Le Précipice de la Tombée | You find Le Précipice not grouped with novels, but with accounts of disasters. Pompeiorum Historia. The Last Winter. The Yellowstone Affair. |
| 204 | A Codex of Unreal Places | FATE |
| 205 | The Book of Proper Speech | You find The Book of Proper Speech not grouped with hagiographies, nor with other manuals of etiquette. At last, you locate it: a modest red-leather volume, shelved alongside didactic fables of talking beasts. |
