Lots of books in this list. Too bad we’ll never get to read them – thinking especially of The Shuttered Palace. The alpha version of this list is on this page.
The Cordat – A training manual for assassins.
The Shuttered Palace – The book Teppic knew was translated from Khalian by A Gentleman, with Hand-Coloured Plates for the Connoisseur in A Strictly Limited Edition.
Face of the Sun – The mask that the ruler of Djelibeybi was to wear in public. Possibly an improvement in some cases.
Flail of Mercy – Held by the Djelian ruler in public.
Reaping Hook of Justice – Possibly the same as the Sickle of Justice. Held by the Djelian ruler in public.

Scapula of Hygiene – Held by the Djelian ruler in public.

Sickle of Justice – See Reaping Hook of Justice.
Little Pieces for Tiny Fingers – A book for learning to play the dulcimer.

Unnamed, The – Chidder’s very special ship.
130 Days of Pseudopolis – An instruction manual similar to The Shuttered Palace. Ptraci was quite familiar with both.
