QUOTATIONS, REFERENCES AND CITATIONS FROM THE NECRONOMICON (AL AZIF) OF THE MAD ARAB ABDUL ALHAZRED

There is no known copy of the Necronomicon, despite numerous stories to the contrary. All that is known is based on references to it by other authors. Some quote the text, some merely state what the contents are reputed to be with no direct quotes, others only state where alleged copies are reputedly located, others merely state the names of those who may have read them.

This tome contains every known (and alleged) quote, reference and citation made by reputable sources about the Neconomicon.

All that is currently knowable about the Necronomicon, not a mere prop to decorate your library.

Read via Page Textures, Hologram (particles), Hovertext and notecards. 66 pages, 19000 words.

Reading hovertext deactivates when you close the book or if you use reset, otherwise it just keeps on going.

Touch along the right edge while open to navigate directly in the book instead of turning the pages one by one. Touching the edge near to the bottom near the beginning, touching the edge near the top puts you near the end. Flip pages from there.

Hovertext shows the page number appears when you use the right edge to navigate, The hovertext disappears when you click the pages or close the book or reset.

Wear on right hand or right forearm to activate holding animation (hold_r_handgun). No animation if attached to HUD.

The page edges preloads the next three pages as well as the previous page, so the textures render faster. If you use the navigation edge, the pages will render slightly slower because they will not have been pre-rendered.
