This isn't a book - it's a little 25 page manual that represents an in-universe student handbook.

I was impressed by the quality, and by the size of it. Most preorder bonuses are piddly things, but this one was actually worth reading.

A really fun bit of bonus Scholomance content.  I don't think anything in here will be a surprise if you've read all three books and I don't think there's anything in here that you need to know to enjoy the books, but I figure anyone reading this is reading this as a fan and not a newbie to the Scholomance world.  However if you are, there are several spoilers if you haven't read all the books though so definitely do not read it until you have finished them.  I particularly enjoyed the illustrations and letters/notes.
