It was easy to see those who liked this idea and those who did not. In terms of rulers, this idea was catching their interest. They had ideas about the ways that Genesis would expand education for various races since merchants had been bringing books already. However, in some kingdoms like the human kingdom, books were considered expensive. Or in the demi-human kingdom, books were only considered valuable if they were related to training in battle.
It was just about the cultures themselves and how they put value to a book. If it were another kingdom the reasoning would change, let alone if it was a race living within the elemental panes. Some of those races might not even see a benefit in having a book whatsoever since they did not even live near the races mentioned in it. The chances that someone from the elemental planes was to meet one of the races in such a book was so low that they might go their entire life without even seeing or hearing rumors about them.
