I just gave one of my players a choice of spellbooks with spells I compiled from non-OD&D sources. (In-game, these were compiled by a demi-urge from Limbo, so I thought it was appropriate to use unusual spells.) These are restricted to first- and second-level spells, but I thought others might find it an interesting list. Note that the names of the spellbooks only roughly correspond to the source material - for example, I only have the Arduin compendium, and the I, II, and III below refer to the way I broke them into spellbooks, not the way they were originally published in the Arduin trilogy.
Arduin Grimoire I: The Rosy Mist of Reason (1), Anti-Web Aura (2), Trenkole's Web (1), Fafing-Ghar's Spell of the Fiery Flash (2), Quarazilla's Spell of the Wondrous Web (2)
Arduin Grimoire II: Aphrodisiac Aura (1), Lock Jaw (1), Muscle Spasm (1), Dunklemeyer's Spell of the Tarantella (2), Karmer's Spell of Wine to Poison (2), Patch (2)
Arduin Grimoire III: Skorzandon's Mirror (2), Thurldon's Reversal (2), Tinaharn's Blind Spot (2), Torozon's Slippery Spell (a.k.a. The Banana Peel Sneak) (2)
Eldrich Weirdness: Excruciating Cauterization (2), Force of Forbidment (2), Strangulations (2), Tarnu's Collaring Coiffure (2)
Unearthed Arcana I: Alarm (1), Armor (1), Firewater (1), Grease (1), Deeppockets (2), Flaming Sphere (2), Irritation (2)
Unearthed Arcana II: Melt (1), Mount (1), Precipitation (1), Vocalize (2), Whip (2), Zephyr (2)
Unearthed Arcana III :Run (1), Taunt (1), Wizard Mark (1), Bind (2), Know Alignment (2), Melf's Acid Arrow (2)
Unearthed Arcana IV: Preserve (2), Protection from Cantrips (2), Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter (2)
The player chose Eldrich Wizardry - interesting, since it has the fewest number of spells - but wrote "Choosing between these, was... excruciating."
