What ELbab is

The premise, in the publisher's words
It is said that the Library of the Circle holds every book that could exist — across past, present, and future. Among its collection, no two books share the same contents. The Library of the Circle is composed of hexagonal chambers connected in all directions—above, below, and to each side. No one has ever confirmed its boundaries, and I believe none ever will. It is a journey in search of each person's own "perfect book." Some seek fame, some seek truth, some seek a lost soul, some seek themselves. That one book containing "everything" they desire—people call it thus――――... "ELbab"
