If Xander hears Sean's musing, "First, you need to go over my first level
spells and learn what you can, then study this book and get a second chance
at any that you wanted and fail at."

That is Elmore's assumption as well. These books do not appear to have
deteriorated like the spell books on the table.

Okay, so her stay got extended by three weeks. But she still wants the
book checked out for what the magic is on it, though she's suspecting a
preserve spell of unusual duration. (PSUD)

If Xander studies it for 15 days, uninterrupted, he will gain a
percentage to learn any spell. Most likely, you would want to use Hagar's
tower in Aarell and obtain a guard or two to keep the hoi polloi out.
The charm text would work for druids, given the same 15-day requirement.
Hagar might run out of money by that time to make payroll.

Xander perks up at Elmore's find, "Thank you! I was wanting to go
through some of these, but time isn't on my side. You just made it that
much easier!"
Xander will be spending his spare time and ship time studying that
book.

If it works for druids too, Carandolana takes Charm Person or

Elmore would bring the book The Clavis or Key to Magic by
Peterson to Xander and ask his perusal, maybe even read it in depth,
stating Elmore's hope or belief that it might be of benefit to our favorite
mage.
Xander did not seem to like Charm Person and other mind robbing
spells as his master abused the power and tossed his charmed victims aside
when he was done with them. Elmore's own former guardsman hasn't had that
experience though. Unsure off the top of my head if clerics have spells
that charm might be of benefit to. Wally however might benefit from them
after checking with the group. The Clavis book seemed like a no brainer and
wouldn't likely require consultation with group.

As Elmore goes through the books, the following:
Elminster’s guide to the dread planes and shadowfell -
probably valuable to the correct collector or sage
The Complete Guide to Undead Creatures by Bob Curran -
worth something, but less than the above.
The Lesser Key of Solomon by Joseph H. Peterson -
probably valuable to the correct collector or sage
The Grimorium Verum in the original elvish with notes by
Ethelbert Athlebertson worth a couple gold, not much information here -
The Clavis or Key to the Magic by Joseph H. Peterson -
study by a mage might increase their ability to learn spells.
Making new friends: A beginners guide - It is not a
necromantic tomb, study would give a plus to charm abilities.
