On the left below is one of my shared bank bags, in which I have stored all the recipes for adornments and mount tack. As you can see, it's impossible to determine anything useful just looking at it. On the right below is the same bag, but I have color-shifted some of the icons a bit. The pink book has red adorns, the green books are nail adorns, the unchanged books are white adorns, and the blue books are mount tack. Suddenly, I can tell at a glance which books I need to scan to find whatever recipe it is I am looking for. I'd like to see this done on all recipe books that are HEIRLOOM or NO-TRADE. The books that can go into a spell/book depot are fine as is, because you can just use a text search to find what you want!
Or even use the colored closed book icons that come in red, orange, yellow, green, and blue! Pretty much anything that will differentiate the type of recipe for the HEIRLOOM and NO TRADE recipes.
Yes!! But, I always thought the open books (or scrolls) were for recipes, and the closed books were for everything else (upgrades, house items, etc.)? :-/ I think your idea in the original post was an excellent one, though folks with color differentiation issues might, indeed, be better off with the more obvious book covers.

Remember the books with brightly colored covers that had purple rune recipes? I still have some sitting in my GH scroll depot. So there's precedent. I've also seen recipes from rolled scrolls, yellow pages, etc., any "written item" icon could work. There's already 36 or so icons that would work Just Fine.
Cool! Yeah, I agree. And nope, never gotten into the rarefied air of purple runes (what are purple runes?). ;-> Uwk
