Setting Design Report: Reference Library

It occurred to me that as I’ll soon be getting into more mechanical aspects of the setting, it’d probably be good to share a list of the books I’m using. This post will be updated as necessary, and while it’s dry to just have a list hanging out like this, I feel like it’s probably good to have it on record.
