Lentwick's Arcane Chronicle

This old textbook on arcane matters is not actually magical itself. Studying the book for 1d4 rounds provides a +2 bonus on a Knowledge (Arcana) check, including when used with spells like Detect Magic. While the chronicle is not obviously illegal, it is old enough that some of the arcana contained within may be illegal if it were published more recently.
