Name: Bibliophilia
Version: 1.0
Date: August 2021
Author: Guinefort1

Description
===========

Increases the availability of books, especially rare and skill books, from book stores

Details
=======

Bibliophilia is the love of books. Books are the lifeblood of the Elder Scrolls series - most of the lore comes from them. And for lore-nerds of the completionist
bent, books make great items to collect. But getting them all is a pain. Some are locked behind quests or only found tucked away in obscure locations. This mod
alleviates this problem a bit by expanding the inventories of the vanilla bookstores to include a randomized assortment of books that the vanilla game excluded from
the merchant lists. Some are common books that should be widely available but aren't for some reason, and others are rarities.

Books that are one of a kind (like people's diaries), or are quest-related like Knightfall (part of the Tears of the Savior quest) and the Commentaries on the
MysteriumXarxes are excluded. Quest-related books like Modern Heretics and The Cleansing of the Fane are included because they are technically attainable from the
start of the game. Skill books are also now available at bookstores, but are randomized and only a few are available at a time. This was a balancing choice so that
the playercan't just buy a bunch of skill books all at once. Making the expanded selection randomized also adds some longevity by justifying returning to bookstores
time and again to see what new merchandise is in stock.

Last, note that books added by the expansion packs are excluded as well.
