Basically what I am picturing is a big book that has metal interchangeable plates in it that are almost like a puzzle. If the plates are moved in the right way then they reveal patterns that might show maps, words, diagrams and so on. I pictured that the book has three parts--a sort of frame, and two inner parts which connected together enable the reader to use the 'puzzles' to determine things. My question is mostly this: how can I make this work in a game-mechanical sense? I also should add that I want the book to reveal secrets of a cult of Tiamat.

Try looking at the Dragon Magizine with the Spell Weaver Ecology article, it had a 'tome' that required a similar setup...
