Boniface’s Letters
The Correspondence of Boniface, Apostle of the Germans
Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, and his correspondents
He asked an abbess in Thanet to copy out the letters of Peter in gold — not for the monastery shelf, but to hold up in front of people who could not read a word of it.

Base stats
Every stat is a checkable fact about the actual book, not a designer's mood. Bars are drawn against the highest value any book reaches.
Why these numbers
The game's own explanation, as a reader sees it in the backpack.
Thirty years of letters in both directions, kept because the people who received them thought they were worth keeping.
He asks more often than he argues — for books, for prayers, for a ruling, for help.
Every claim in it can be checked against a letter written back.
A collection, and you have to find the one you want.
Cited for this book
Boniface was born in Devon, died in Frisia in 754 with a book raised over his head, and in between wrote and received the best-documented mission of the early middle ages. The letters are candid in a way the biography is not: he is tired, he is short of books, and the people giving him the most trouble are other clergy.
Moves learned
By levelling up. A book that develops keeps what it knew and learns the rest on its new schedule.
