I think it is like this atm ->
Each book contains/allows:
Common/Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare <> Common Starting/ Uncommon Guaranteed/ Uncommon Guaranteed turn 1/ Rare Guaranteed/ Very Rare Guaranteed; other effects
Book 01: 3/ 1/ 0/ 0 <> 0/0/0/0/0; Find/Trade common
Book 02: 3/ 2/ 1/ 0 <> 1/0/0/0/0; Find/Trade Uncommon
Book 03: 4/ 3/ 2/ 1 <> 2/0/0/0/0; Find/Trade Rare
Book 04: 5/ 4/ 4/ 3 <> 3/0/0/0/0; Find/Trade Very Rare
Book 05: 6/ 5/ 5/ 4 <> 4/1/0/0/0; +15 starting casting skill & +17 starting power
Book 06: 7/ 6/ 6/ 5 <> 5/1/0/1/0; +16 starting casting skill & +19 starting power
Book 07: 10/ 7/ 7/ 6 <> 5/2/0/1/1; +17 starting casting skill & +20 starting power
Book 08: 10/10/ 8/ 6 <> 5/0/2/2/1; +18 starting casting skill & +22 starting power
Book 09: 10/10/ 9/ 7 <> 5/0/2/2/2; +19 starting casting skill & +23 starting power, +8% research, -5% casting cost
Book 10: 10/10/12/8 <> 5/0/2/0/3; +20 starting casting skill & +25 starting power, +16% research, -10% casting cost, 2 Guaranteed Early Very Rares
Where "Guaranteed" means that the spell is guaranteed to be available for research later, and "Uncommon Guaranteed turn 1" means that research into the spell can begin in turn 1. Any additional spellbooks you find in treasure will have these exact same contents and effects, although “Guaranteed” picks don't apply - those are reserved to the beginning of the game.
2 Guaranteed Early Very Rares means that 2 of the 3 selected Guaranteed Very Rares will be the first to appear at the time a random Very Rare would normally show up.
Your starting casting skill and power income are 10, plus each spellbook in a realm that has at least 4 books picked provides you with +1 starting casting skill and +1.5 starting power:
Starting Skill <> Starting Power Starting Skill <> Starting Power
1 book: 10 <> 10 7 books: 17 <> 20
2 books: 10 <> 10 8 books: 18 <> 22 < or 4 + 4 books
3 books: 10 <> 10 9 books: 19 <> 23 < or 5 + 4 books
4 books: 14 <> 16 10 books: 20 <> 25 < or 5 + 5 books
5 books: 15 <> 17 21 <> 26 < 6 + 5 books
6 books: 16 <> 19 22 <> 28 < 4 + 4 + 4 or 6 + 6 books
