Author notes
Permission is granted so long as the original sources are also still open to reuse. Make sure to first check both stoverjm and Blary's two previous versions of these book models to ensure that permissions are still granted there. (Essentially, you have my permission so long as you also have theirs.)
File credits
stoverjm for the incredible artwork on the Open Books Library! I’m in awe of these books, and had a great time writing their titles and just glazing at these pages all starry-eyed! Blary for the original Open Book model! This mod is from your foundations, nearly four years ago!
Cheers to the both of you. And to the following artists who are responsible for the amazing brushes and stamps!

Changed the loot list used back to the Vendor Miscellaneous loot list. This loot list extends to cupboards, but only at a 4% chance. This change prevents a bug where duplicate books were being spawned under the Lockpicks list.
Version 1.2.1
Fixed my calculations for chance to find the books in an end table. I had accidentally set it to something outrageously high, like 8% chance NOT to find a book, rather than the correct 8% chance to... Yikes! Updated both English and Italian versions.
Version 1.2.0
Added the proper Wrye Bash tag, so that now the added books can now be merged with any other list that affects vendor item lists!
Version 1.1.1
Changed the loot list that was allowing the items to appear in vendors, since it was unfortunately also giving the books a rare chance to spawn in a cupboard.
Now the items are instead in the 'Vendor Lockpicks' loot list, which is identical to the 'Vendor Misc. Items' loot list in every way, except that this list does not have a chance to appear anywhere but vendors.
Adds the 24 books from Open Books Library as skill books available to find in-game! I’ve added collision physics, titles, skills, inventory meshes, and added them to vanilla loot lists.
If you’d like to see more of this sort of thing, then endorse! I’ve tested the mod for over 12 hours with adjustments to loot rate, collision, and the inventory mesh. Your endorsement fuels my motivation, and helps others like you separate the cream from the crap.
DROP RATE These books can be found randomly at the following rates:
15% - Warlock Chests / Warlock Boss Chests / Vampire Chests / Vampire Boss Chests / Explorers’ Wilderness Chests
8% - Regular Chests, Upper-Class End Table, Cupboard
4% - Regular End Table
This means you'll typically find one per related dungeon. It would take around 156 chests or 400 end tables before you find them all.
I’ve separated the books into Common books and Rare books. Rare books include corrupt and sinister-type tomes, and so those are found only in warlock, vampire, and wilderness chests (and not in Belethor’s nightstand).
MERCHANTS You can also purchase the Common books from general item merchants. The chance of a merchant stocking a painting ranges from 8% to 41% (Khajiit Caravan). I’ve integrated the books into the vendor lists such that even custom merchants may sell them.
If you want a specific book, reference the name from the images and type into console 'help "<Book name here>"'. Be sure to put the book's full name in quotations. This will give you the ID of that item. Then type 'player.additem <Book ID> 1', which will give you one of that book.
INSTALLATION
