I need some ideas for a extradimensional library, /tg/. I'm including it as part of a wizard's tower, if any of my PCs open up a book they either get sucked into it or the contents spill themselves out, Pagemaster-style.
I'm stuck on what to include though. So far I'm thinking of a monster manual, a magical artifact encyclopedia, kama sutra, but even these seem kind of bland and overused. What would you like to encounter if you were playing?

Book of Blackness: creates area of darkness around the book as long as its open. the area affected cannot be lit by non magical means

necronomicon: after perusing a few passages this character can see the spirits of the recently deceased.

the hypnotists handbook: all who attempt to read it must save or fall prey vs hypnotic suggestion.

stickybook: aptly named book that when removed from the shelf instantly fuses itself to whomever picks it up. the pages are blank, and the book is a psychically empowered/ communicates with its 'partner' telepathically. never has much to say though

A truly awful doorstopper trashy Romance novel you are incapable of leaving until you've personally solved the ludicrously complex love triangles..
An autobiography of itself. Every event the book has been part of or witnessed is described in vivid detail.
A self help book which keeps telling the reader to kill themselves, even after they've stopped reading.

This. This. This. Borges is an extradimensional god to be honest.

Big Book: a short read; the text appears so finite that it is barely legible, as the reader continues on the text slowly becomes easier to read as the readers themselves shrink down to the point the text is as easily read as the numbers on an old person phone

>To Serve Man
Bound to this inter-species cookbook is a powerful Demon Knight that will do anything the book's master asks of them.
When the request is made, the book vomits a stream of black ichor that forms a skeletal Demon Knight.
Multiple knights can be spawned (probably want to put a hard cap on that to prevent abuse) but if the Demon Knight finds the request impossible or fatal to its own existence, the book itself will eat the master.
Some say that it can generate an additional knight for each that it consumes this way.
