The goblins have long maintained that tome is not what it appears to be.

A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of tome, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of tome and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
