Skill Book (Skyrim)

The following is a list of all Skill Books in.

Skill Books are unique books that grant a permanent one point increase to its associated skill. Opening a skill book will automatically grant the bonus. They can be read at any time and unlike Skill Trainers, who limit increases to five levels per level, there is no limit to the number of skill books that can be read in one level. However, the same book cannot give an additional skill bonus if read twice. The add-on includes an ability  called Scholar's Insight that grants two points for every skill book read.

There is no tell-tale method to identify a skill book, as they often look identical to regular books. This can often lead to unknowingly raising a skill. Occasionally, the value of the book can be an indicator or the title can often allude to what skill it may be associated with - such as with Advances in Lockpicking.

There are five different books for each skill and a total of 90 books. They can be found almost anywhere and typically appear as a world item.

Given the rarity and usefulness of skill books, it's possible to add them to your inventory without reading them by ordering a follower to pick them up. The book can then be transferred into your inventory and read at a later date.
