My vote is: The Book of Lost Spells, by Necromancer Games. They basically ported the 2nd edition spell list to 5e, trying to maintain balance. As DM, I like dropping them as spell scrolls or my party. I’ve attached a sample photo from my hardcopy.
When in doubt: The Net Libram of Random Magical Effects -
10,000 random magic effects for ALL occasions!
Just don’t blow up the sun.
Notable events that occurred during use;
-BBEG and the Party Druid fighting over a (Macguffin ) causing mirror universe counterparts to join the fray. (Note to DMs, try to avoid using terms like “Evil -x- party member” if they don’t know the alignment. They turned on her SO fast.)
-A unfortunate Warhound now has 4 arms instead of dog legs. Last the party checked, the dog gained employment as a chicken keeper.
-The Cleric now fears the combination of Canary Yellow and Royal Purple more than they love their god.
-The Barbarian won a cooking contest with their dandelion salad that tasted like chili. They were quite upset their dandelion salad tasted like chili. They like both, but it was a whole thing, you know how barbarians get.
All in all, a great wacky time.

Is this the document in question? https://centralia.aquest.com/downloads/NLRMEv2.pdf
Or do you use some other version? Do you know what the copyright status is? Can I print it? :)
Actually, I just emailed the author (e: their email bounced – apparently excite.com is a discontinued mail server. Only other way to contact them is on facebook, which I don’t do.)
Yep! That’s the most recent one I think.
I still have a copy of 1.20 kicking around somewhere, that’s the one I’ve used the most and have printed out and bound.
