Red Techbook
A Red Techbook is a printed book of red tech points: use it and you gain 25. You print it at the Printing Press from a Blank Softcover Notebook, an Ink and a two-star Story, with the Self-Help Books technology (50 red, 50 green, 50 blue) and Book writing mastery 6.
The same recipe with the same technology prints a Green Techbook or a Blue Techbook instead, so it is a way to turn Stories into whichever colour of tech points you are short of.

Notes
- The technology costs 150 points in all, so the first six books only pay it back.
- Red Techbook II gives 50, from a hardcover notebook and a three-star Story.
- No trader sells it.
