:'''Type 1 : Your Fate Is Already Decided'''<br />
:The book already seems to be completely written and appears to have predicted your every move. This may double as a [[Tome of Fate]], depending on whether the book itself is magic (which would qualify under this trope), or someone else merely wrote such things in a more or less standard book (which would not qualify). Sometimes events written in the book turn out to be wrong, or able to be changed by the character's reaction to the information the book provides.
 
:'''Type 2 : Automatic Data Recorder'''<br />
:The book writes itself as you read it, observing rather than predicting your movements. It may contain information merely about what happens around the book itself or things which are pertinent to the plot of the story. Often these books also have some form of omniscience, and have things written in them that the protagonist could never have known about (''"Little does Alice know, that Bob is sneaking up behind her at this very moment!"''). The words might literally appear on the page before your eyes, or as you turn the last page written on there might mysteriously be a next one.
 
:'''Type 3 : Choose Your Own Adventure'''<br />
:The book must be written in, and the things you write about start happening. There may be certain rules attached to this version, or not everything you write will happen, it might be random chance which elements your write down come to pass.
