The Mysterious Affair At Styles - $100
A Scandal In Bohemia - $10000

Too much of a difference. Wonder how much the others are gonna drain me...!

Or wait to get more points with the faction. The prices go down as your reputation goes up.

They don't get any cheaper than $10000 do they?

If I remember correctly it can go down to $5000.

Ooh, lovely.

You know actually, some detectives have made fun of the London Librarian for paying out $1000 to get a book back instead of just buying several new books, but I suppose Sleuth world book prices hadn't actually been taking into account, as it's at least 5x cheaper to pay that $1000 than buying a whole new book.

DevilishWings in my case it won't get any cheaper . *Sheesh*
My standing was 41 when I posted this, that was the cheapest. :)

Aha! So Aife remembers incorrectly. The librarian is making a saving of at least 90%.

Yes, well, I'm yet to read one from start to finish. I started one, got annoyed and moved on to my Kindle since I had it there too. lol. But this is a fun thing to have in the game, nonetheless, and I keep finding new ones left around in caves, so that's nice.

Yeah.. nice as the books are they're certainly not in a good format to be read. I always thought it'd be nice to hide hidden messages and clues within the books if they were formatted a bit better. For example, discovering a cipher in game which requires you to decode it by using a certain book. Page number, line number, word number, that sort of thing.
