A book of this sort is totally impossible to tell from a
normal one, although if a detect magic spell is cast, there will be a
magical aura noted.

Any character who opens the work and reads so much
as a single glyph therein must make 2 saving throws versus magic. The first
is to determine if 1 point of intelligence is lost or not, the second i s to find if
2 points of wisdom are lost. Once opened and read, the vacuous grimoire
remains, and,it must be burned to be rid of it after first casting a remove
curse spell. If the tome is placed with other books, its appearance will
instontly alter to conform to one of the other works it is amongst.

I'm sure you must have heard of them back in mid to late '70s.

If so, what are your thoughts?

I saw them when they were originally published.

Ever see my magic item "The Vacuous Grimoire"?

Baby fat indeed 

Cheerio,
