Yeah, though I'm not sure anyone's bothered to catalog them, I think there are essentially 9 books to do regardless of what weapon you're working on. So the first STR book will be the same as the first DEX book or first INT book and so on. I think so anyway. Certainly the VIT books are the same between weapons and the books are definitely static.

Don't worry too much about the dungeons. Those are the least of your worries, though make sure you're alive when the final boss dies. A healer allowed me to die during Diabolos the other day for a book (they were on door duty and just decided not to bother since he was almost dead and then didn't raise me since they could easily do it after he was killed). The lower dungeons will require a longer wait, but certainly Brayflox HM and the like are practically freebies when you see those in your book, and this is from a MNK's perspective.

I think the dungeons people dislike are being abandoned less often (like Pharos) since many people need them for books and they're easier after the nerfs. The worst part of the books are camping the 3 specific FATEs, but an adjustment in 2.3 might have made that less of a hassle.
