Why not make the books containing formulae more common in treasure piles, or
less costly in bookstores?

Personally.. I'd like it if those books had a purpose.  Say for example, you
have a recipie book.  When you get a formulae, you can use your writing skill
and literacy to transcribe the recepie into your book.  Then the players have a
nice little reference available to them for future alchemy use.  In addition,
if you ready the book, and it contains the recepie you are attempting, it gives
you a bonus.

Maybe it could also automatically attempt to write down anything you discover
by fiddling.
