Description
-----------

This mod adds in select books from Morrowind, Daggerfall, and Battlespire.
The excellent Book Placement mod by Jepeter has been applied to the added books so that they
are placeable as well.

Book Placement itself has been modified in a small way. None of the placement code has changed,
however you now learn the spells from a book sold in any of the bookstores in TES4. The
book is entitled "A Treatise on Bookkeeping". Upon reading the book for the first time,
two spells will be added to your spell list. These spells are "Librarian's Helper" and "Restore
Library". Rereading the book removes thespells from the player, so you don't have to burden your
spell list with them.

The bookplacing process is detailed within "A Treatise on Bookkeeping".
Note that the bookplacing process is not compatible with bookshelves not aligned on the z-axis.
There are no bookshelves in default Oblivion that are not aligned on the z-axis, but custom mods
may have them.

I've also added a little "mini-quest" of sorts for the illegal types. Some of the books are held
in chests within the vendors' houses, but they require a key. These keys are placed strategically
in the merchants' houses, so you'll have to find them.

The Book Placement spellbook, "A Treatise on Bookkeeping", is available in Phinias' First Edition
in Imperial City. This is not available for stealing.
The Battlespire books are available in Renoit's Books in Chorrol. Renoit has had these books for
a while, so she doesn't keep them locked away or anything. Just check on the shelves.
The Morrowind books are available in Southern Books in Leyawiin. The bookseller isn't very clever,
so the key can be found pretty easily. (hint)
The Daggerfall books are available in Mach Na's Books in Cheydinhal. He just got them in, and means
to check them out first thing in the morning. He has placed the key comfortably close. (hint)
The First Edition Guide to the Empire series is available in Phinias' First Edition in Imperial
City. Phinias likes to keep these as a handy reference when he is writing. (hint)

Reminder: These are still available for purchase, I've just left the avenue for stealing opened.

Working with the esm

Oblivion.esm AND Bookplacing.esm within the Construction Set.
