Like any Wares-aware mod, you only need Wares-base.esm (included in this file), but I would recommend you check out the Wares mod page for addons, such as Tamriel Rebuilt, Wares for containers, as well as a few optional wares-aware mods that don't deserve their own mod page.

Illustrations: Many illustrations were hand drawn by Stuporstar. Maps of Vvardenfell includes hand drawn copies of the original game maps. The steel color chart in The Complete Blacksmith has been modified from a book on metallurgy. The alembic illustration in Spirits of Vvardenfell is copied by hand from an 18th century illustration. The Dwemer Orrery and star chart illustrations are copied from The Academy of Dwemer Studies. The Aurbis illustration was inspired by Melchior Dark's map of the Aurbis and medieval woodcut illustrations.
Meshes and Textures:
All of the textures and icons were created by Stuporstar.
A few of the new book jackets make use of some of the textures from William The Taffer's Better Books, though I've altered all of them significantly.
Melian's book mesh and related book rotate scripting are used in the Guide to Vvardenfell series and the Complete Vvardenfell Flora Compendium.
Shwaa's scroll meshes were used for all alchemy recipe scrolls.
