The field grew so rapidly and there's so much material... I think this accounts for a lot of the reasons why there's gaps in some areas. One thing I'm interested in is magical knives -- but we can find many more things where the knowledge base is simply a bunch of papers but no real books.

Unlike Victorian times, when they'd buy a book about anything on Egypt, few people today seem to be interested in anything more than "pyramids on Giza" and "Sphinx" and "Tutankamun.
