Bill,
I get with your criticism of scrolls. Overpriced (assuming list price) and player never seek them out.

Books on the other hand are very useful. I have had players go this route. A wizard just needs a backpack with his kit in it and a book of a handful of spells. These are all non-combat spells that require no rush. Unlocking a chest, detecting magic, and so on. It makes the wizard so much more helpful in this situation and allows the wizard to pick more combat spells since the book is for the less urgent stuff.
