I think there is an upside to secret mastery books, and that's making supply a nonissue. In the current system, if your book drops from something hideously untrainable, or not at all, supply of the book is seriously constrained or nonexistent in fm. With secret mastery books, people can at least farm the least annoying mastery book droppers. Demand effects will still mean the early-max skills of popular classes will be expensive, but at least there won't be any particular weird barely obtainables anymore. Assuming equal probabilities for all books from secret mastery books, the most common book in fm will be the least played class's last-max skill.
