This volume ostensibly created by the "Order of the Golden Quills" is a faux nonfiction encyclopedia illuminating the proper method for attracting benign hobgoblins and avoiding their evil opposite, the goblin. Collected from folklore and literature around the world, the book is richly illustrated to feel like a lavish rare text. Occasional flaps and foldouts further the visual interest.
