pull request #761 - writing novels

Pull request by entrez:  don't create a Pratchett novel by writing
"novel" or "paperback book" on a known blank spellbook with a magic
marker.

Blanking a novel produces a blank spellbook; there isn't any blank
novel.  That's intentional.  Writing "novel" on a blank spellbook
and getting a randomly chosen Pratchett one wasn't intentional.

Closes #761
