Funny, this was what I thought immediately - I don't know if you're 
familiar with Terry Pratchett's discworld novels, but the books in 
the library of the Unseen University (imagine it like a very weird 
version of Hogwarts) are sometimes chained too; and for good reasons, 
most of them are not very well behaved.
