About this mod
A small mod that adds an evil book to the lowest level of the Dunwich building. Ooooooohhh.

This mod adds the book "The Necronomicon" to the Dunwich building. Through the course of exploration you would expect to find the book but for some reason Bethesda didn't put it there. Now it is.
I have included an extra Pipboy icon texture for those who use item description mods. If you don't know what the Necronomicon is or what that Dunwich stuff is all about I suggest you go to the library or bookstore and pick up some of H.P. Lovecraft's stories to read. It's worth it.
Installation:
1) Copy the contents of the archive to your Fallout 3\Data directory. If asked to overwrite choose "Yes".
2) In your "Data Files" menu or in Fallout Mod Manager, place a checkmark beside the al-Azif.esp (if your going to be using mods you should really get FOMM).
3) If you want to use the optional Pipboy icon, copy the texture folder from within the "Alternate Icon With Description" folder and paste it in the Fallout 3\Data directory. When asked to overwrite choose "Yes".
Compatibility/Known Issues:
This mod is probably not compatible with "The Necronomicon Ex Mortis and Dunwich Expansion" from which it drew it's inspiration. Other than that I'm not aware of any problems (famous last words).
Feedback:
This is my first mod so any comments, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, or pointers will be greatly appreciated. Please leave them in the comments section or send me a message. You can also find me doodling around the Bethsoft forums.

Credits/Thanks:
- Big thanks to the Bethsoft forum members for invaluable scripting help
- A very big thankyou to Santanabusjones Whose mod gave me the inspiration for this and for allowing me to release a mod that is VERY similar to his. The Necronomicon texture and pipboy icon were created by Santanabusjones and graciously given permission for me to use in this mod. If you would like a much expanded Dunwich quest get Santanabusjones's mod here http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3402
- Thanks to Bethesda for Fallout 3 and the tools to allow me to muck with it.
- Special thanks to Howard Phillips Lovecraft, often imitated, never duplicated (or bettered IMO)
(I also removed a stupid light that shouldn't have been there and wasn't doing anything anyways)
