This mod adds a chest behind Breezehome in Whiterun with some weightless books that have very handy information, if you're like me and tired of leaving the game to look up Base IDs when you're testing.

So far, it includes these books:

• Main quest reference
• Ammunition
• Enchanting
• Potions
• Smithing
  

For this preview release, there are four books: Ammunition, Enchanting, Potions, and Smithing.

I split them into different books because the page-turning animation is impractically slow for larger volumes (note: I have decided to switch to "notes" rather than "books" because notes have no page turn animation). However, I am also planning on releasing a "master" book for those who feel it would be more convenient.

I want to hear your input on this project: let me know what items and categories you think I should add.

----------------

INSTALLATION:
Download and extract the zip archive, then copy the ESP file to Skyrim/Data and enable it in your load order.
----------------

To Do list:

• Use consistent naming scheme (e.g. 'Ref: Book Name')

• Exterior cells
• Followers/important NPCs
• Enemies
• Stage numbers for buggy quests
  

Changelog:

• 0.2 - add Main Book reference book, use "note" rather than "book" format for faster page turning, use handwritten font, and add zip file with HTML documents plus the ESP
