A Dead Man's Guide to the Underdark Written by famed adventurer Samuth Ironback after his fatal encounter with a Purple Worm, the Dead Man's Guide details the creatures and plants of the Underdark and how to safely eat every single one, how to find your way in a labyrinth, of Minotaur construction or otherwise, and how to convince an Illithid that you have brain cancer, among other things. The book's writer, being a ghost, actually wrote the book by possessing several different people over the course of a hundred years, so every chapter is in different handwriting and on different types of paper, and the first page is nearly crumbling to dust, while the last was finished only a few months ago.

The Crystal Wasteland: A Guide to the Creatures and Peoples of the Tundra by Sandrin Chrimbus. A journal style log of creatures, peoples, and major locations of the tundra, with superfluous author Sandrin Chrimbus' mildly egotistical perspective. It is a thorough log, but he underestimates every hostile monster to make himself seem better, and assumes all peoples are more primitive and jealous or admiring of him than they are, skewing what info the PCs may get.
