There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about tome. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

The Goblin King himself has weighed in on tome, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of tome.
