Multipurpose war

After the release of the ГДЏИ, which served three purposes, many people have tried to make things that serve even more. This has caused the release of many completely useless books. Only a small portion of the books are legitimately competetive (or, occasionally, accidentally), while the rest are jokes. Usually, it is meant to mock people who take it too seriously. Most only consider it part of the war if it has at least three purposes.

Record holder
Currently, the record-holder is the Vividly Familiar Apparatus, boasting 13 purposes, as follows:
 * Cookbook
 * Religious book
 * Atlas
 * Phonebook
 * Encyclopedia
 * Spellbook
 * Cyron care guide
 * Sticker book
 * Songbook
 * Fictional story
 * Puzzle book
 * Satirical mockery
 * Joke book

3 purposes
A majority of multipurpose books only have three purposes, but given the thousands of volumes produced during this prolific writing period, there were still a large number of more-than-3-purpose books produced. Most book shops even have a section devoted to "MT3P".

Here are a few MT3P example book titles: It is said that the only true winners of the multipurpose wars were the book cover type setters, most of whom became fabulously wealthy and are behind the on-going ever lengthening book title trend. Conspiracy theorists suggest that this trend is being artificially inflated by the so-called "Typographical Industrial Complex".
