I am running two bishops and was running into the same problem until I realized that all I had to do to get other books available was to do a bit of camping in Arnika and then save right before talking to Braffit and Anna to make sure they had books I could use. I also have been having my Alchemy specialist make Heavy Heal, Restoration and Pickmeup Potions in order to maximize my return, though I've been saving my Sneeze/Flash as well. I entered Arnika with only 1st level spells (I didn't level up above 6 on the way over) and left it at 8th level with them knowing all 2nd level spells and using 2 spell picks apiece to get two 3rd level spells for each of them. So far, so good. I'm on my way to the cemetary now. Remember -- there's only about 10 7th level spells so you don't need to save every spell pick, just most of them.
