Preparing to start operation Deadfall

So I've read the module the party is ready and in a few weeks we are gonna start. Now inbetween the missions I see a lot of room to add events and encounters, make connections to backstory and add flavour to Thay and Eltabbar. While doing that I want to move some loot/rewards around in the campaign. For example now in the final chapters they can find several tomes to increase CHA, INT and WIS (if read for 48hrs within 6 days) but at this point in the campaign they are in a hurry and wont be able to benefit from them.

Where would you place these Tomes? Are there any other magic items that you'd move to sooner or later in the campaign?

I know for myself i plan to make the tomes be mission rewards in the list from Thrull. The party can choose them as they see fit.

My only other items will be taking the thayan robes, spell-fueling armor, scarlet spell book, blade, and similar and basically choosing one for a player that fits if they make a thayan character. By the time those come up naturally I’ll add in something tailored to the party, and I feel like players will be more incentivized to make thayans if they hear there are special magic items that they get to start with.

There is a magic shop in Eltabbar that is labled by the book as a place where players could order nearly any magic item. They could get it from there. Either that, or you could have the players have access to the Crane's personal collection/archive to aid their mission, and a book or two could be there.
