1. Description

*****************************

This is an espless book replacer using Lady Nerevar's Book Jackets resourse, Phoenix Amon's Book Jackets, Rob_b's Book Jackets Oblivion: Mysterium Xarxes Texture Replacer, and Grimbot's DLC Book Jackets - SI. This mod will overwrite the default book textures and icons. The benefit of this is any mod added books that use Oblivion's default books will use the new textures. Now all book can be beautiful!

This mod covers all of Oblivion's books, plus unique books added by Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. All other books from the DLCs use Oblivion's stock book textures and meshes. These books still get replaced, but are not unique.


*****************************

2. Requirements

*****************************

Any version of Oblivion.
Knights of the Nine book texture does nothing unless you have Knights of the Nine installed.
Shivering Isles book texture does nothing unless you have Shivering Isles installed.

Many thanks to:
throttlekitty for helping me so much in learning to work with Oblivion's meshes and textures.
Everyone at NifTools. Without their work, I couldn't have done this mod at all.
Everyone who made suggestions or just comments to keep me going on my WIP threads. Very very helpful stuff.
Bethesda, for taking the extra time to create a world so rich in lore when most game companies don't bother."

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6978
Credits from the original readme:
"Firstly to Bethesda Game Studios for developing such a wonderful RPG. In spite of Oblivion's minor faults, it still is one of the best RPGs to date.
To Phoenix Amon for creating BJOB, and replacing the dull shite that Bethesda gave us.
To the GIMP, a wonderful little image-editing program that's almost as good as PS.
To my own brain for thinking up something like this."

"Gothic251 for fixing all of my ka-ka and actually making this thing function, yo.
Cheers to you, Gothic!
Thanks to Odin_ML for providing me with alphas for the SI icons. The mod should be totally compatible with Darnified-UI now.
Thanks to PhoenixAmon for her original mod, and for providing the two-sided meshes I based my book jackets on.
Thanks to all you other modders and fans who keep Nirn alive.
And thanks to my spoon. My shiny, shiny spoon."


Special thanks to:
The folks at the ORE Forums for their friendship, ideas, and support. It means a lot to me.

Bethesda - for creating such a great and involving game, and for the ability for us players to modify it as we see fit.
