Batwing book
Batwing book is a tier 30 free-to-play off-hand weapon for Magic, with a high alchemy value of 360 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Batwing book is to buy it: Zaff's Superior Spellcasting in Varrock sells it for 600 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.
“Full of arcane riddles.”

Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 36 Crafting and 30 Runecrafting and gives 24 Crafting XP, using 2 × Batwing and 0.2 × Thread. Where the materials come from: Batwing (dropped by Giant bat (level 14)); Thread (sold by Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 4 coins). Reaching level 36 Crafting takes 24,815 XP in total; the Crafting calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Crafting guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the off-hand weapon slot at tier 30 as magic gear; compare it with every other piece on the Off-hand weapons list. Batwing book is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 360 coins, which is 240 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
