Dragon Types

You pick up a worn down journal you find on the ground. It's covered in mountains of dust that swirl around in a mini sandstorm when you blow it off. Brushing away the last of the filth obscuring the cover, you read the title plastered on it. "Dragon Types" it says. You've never seen this book in your life, and when you turn to the first page, you discover that it's written by hand in a neat print. The first page is titled the same as the front cover, the words and pages worn as if it's been read by many eyes, yet untouched in years.

The author's name is long smudged out from rubbing, as if someone ran their finger lovingly over it so many times, it's barely visible. Where did this book come from? How come you've never seen or heard of it before? You turn the book over and inspect it from all angles. It looks like a normal journal someone would use for taking formal notes.
