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.
Except if you're farming mastery books for profit, you'll drop anything you can't sell right away, because it's a waste of 1 slot on your shop mule. And you'd need 190+ slots to keep 1 of every book in stock.
