<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'On [Subject]' books are a popular style within the [[Alliance]], possibly beginning with [[Dendra Otzi]]'s [[On Wizardry]] during the early [[Ages#The Golden Age|Golden Age]]. In the later eras, works such as the [[Accepted Histories]] followed the same format. Most use the author's name followed by the subject, such as [[Scalgdorf's On Dragonology]] or [[Metchef's On Arogulaaology]]; but are often known colloquially by their subject names.<br />
<br />
In most cases, if a book is added to an expanded upon, the original title will be kept. [[Herbet Patric Galactis]]'s work was initially written during the [[Ages#The Fourth Age|Fourth Age]], but revised and added to throughout the rest of the [[Ages]] of the [[Alliance]]. The formal title, ''H.P. Galactis's On the Accepted Histories of the Alliance and Known Worlds'' is still maintained on the printed volumes, even though the book is colloquially known simple as ''The Accepted Histories'' and Galactis's original work now comprises less than a tenth of the total text.<br />
<br />
The lengthy print-cycles of such books reflects a tradition of the belief that knowledge belongs to everyone, and that competition for credit cheapens its value.<br />
