Working as advertised, within the limits of the game's clunky interface. Buying the book dumps photos of all the bobbles in to your Notes tab, and using the book to activate an individual quest gives you detailed information including whether or not the target can be become unavailable a la Raven Rock. Plus of course a quest marker slap bang on top of the little bugger.
I like the approach to keeping it as lore-friendly as practical, with the in-game explanation for the book's existence written from the perspective of a somewhat eccentric wastelander. It does feel like an in-universe guide book rather than information looked up with Nukapedia. Nicely done.
Well, I'm slightly dissapointed because all locations aren't pointed at or mentioned in the 'details' notes. All that gets added to 'notes' is a picture of the item.
It's the first Bobblehead I went after (the Energy Weapons one) and I had to go look-up on the net where to find it and then check online where Raven Rock is. Once gotten there I couldn't enter the damn place. Back to checking online why and it turns out Raven Rock is part of the main quest and cannot be entered before or after the point in the main quest.
Maybe that's why information was scarce... Oh-well, off to do the next one.
Y'Know, this should be a quest where you have to find all 20 bobbleheads, and you complete the quest once you've gotten all of the bobbleheads!!! Also, if you loose the oppertunity to get it, such as not grabbing the energy weapons bobblehead in Raven Rock, you fail the quest. I think that it should be called "The Great Bobblehead Hunt", to start the quest, you either have to buy the book from Moira, or find a Bobblehead.
I know this is a rather late responce and probably a moot point for you now and nayone who saw this when It wa posted, but I'm seeing it just now and if you already know then this can be for those other late comers like me. There actually is a mod now that is a quest to find all of the bobble heads and when it starts the locations are listed on the map. It is simply called Bobblehead Quest. Once again, this is a reply to ChevyRW's comment not an attempt at either endorsment nor traffic gaining. I have no connection to the mentioned mod and have not even downloaded it, so I truly have no vested interest in it.
Well once you get the book you'll see this is a quest mod. It updates itself, keeps track of found bobbleheads, gives way points, gives you written directions, and even gives you pictures. Once you have the book a quest called "Bobbleheads" appears... finding and closing the quest is up to you.
Help! I can't get the thing to work. It won't show in the data files when the initial splash screen comes up and I am not finding it at Moira's, short of risking turning the town against me by stealing in plain sight. Any ideas what is going on.
You have the option of buying it from her. It should be in her inventory. Easy way to steal .... Below

Use z to grab it, then take it upstairs and go into stealth/steal mode. Move around until you find a spot where you can steal it. Wa-la successfully stolen with out being detected.
Fantastic Idea for a mod. Question, I installed a mod that rearranges the locations of the intelligence, science and medicine bobblehead. Will both mods work together?
They should work fine together. You will have to take personal note as to which bobble heads have been moved and address them accordingly. The book will not update to the new moved locations of said bobble heads, so it would still show them as if they hadn't been moved. Once you have the moved bobble heads in your inventory the script should update accordingly.
Addressed a few issues and made some changes. Hope you guys like them. I'm using fomm and generally download manually then install through fomm. Let me know if there are any issues with any other methods.
P.S. When you obtain the book you will find an old Vault Tech memo in it. On the back of it is a description of how the bobbleheads came to be spread out all over the wasteland.
I'm very late here, but I figured it's never too late to report some bugs.
Leaving Vault 101 for the second time after Trouble on the Homefront causes the quest to close prematurely and count all remaining bobbleheads as lost. The only one I had not picked up yet was the energy weapons one which isn't in vault 101 at all.
I guess it's an issue with how it detects bobbleheads that can be permanently lost such as the medicine, strength, energy weapons and whichever one you find in Evan King's house ?
