I just re-read it and looks like you're right, but there is verbiage of "using" the spellbook which also takes up a slot in inventory. Per the rules as written looks like you don't actually have to hold it in both hands and read it (I must be confusing with another system here), but you can cast each spell once per day up to INT number of spells, and your options are limited to your spell books in inventory.
Right again! I mixed up the damage from Maze Rats (which is roll minus armor is hp damage) and Knave (which is each piece of armor in a slot adds +1 to AP which makes your AC 11+AP)
> PCs are also limited to needing to read from a spellbook to cast (requiring both hands)
Nowhere in the book mentioned that spellbooks must be read to cast. The first edition did mention that, though.

> Armor is simple and adds a point to damage reduction per piece of armor equipped.
Armor don't seem to reduce damage, but is added to AC. Armor as damage reduction is from ItO and Cairn, not Knave.

I will update the post to reflect.
