1. Take a look at the Phantom Plate spell (summons a bag with items in it) and just have the client cast a custom version of that spell.

2. Use EVENT_CONNECT and EVENT_TIMER with an hourly timer:

sub EVENT_CONNECT {
    quest::settimer("Reward", 3600);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {
    if ($timer eq "Reward") {
        quest::stoptimer("Reward");
        $client->AddAlternateCurrencyValue(CURRENCY ID, AMOUNT);
        $client->Message(315, "You have received AMOUNT CURRENCY for staying online for an hour!");
        quest::settimer("Reward", 3600);
    }
}

3. Books table in the database, then set the book information in the items table.
