			• '''Easily Missed But Important Rule''' – Your books count resets to zero at the beginning of each round. During a round, you 'possess' only the books shown on the action cards you have played to your Study board so far this round, plus the one or two conferred by the Liebniz and Fahrenheit Master cards. However, these books are never 'spent' (unlike potions), so you can use a blue book, say, to pay for a bookshelf tile in one turn of a round (or in two or more different turns), and then to move to an Objective tile in another turn, and also to take a coin from the bonus action of a relevant action card.
