Skyrim:Skill Books
< Skyrim: Items: Books The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The first time you read a given Skill Book, your level in the associated skill will be permanently increased by one
point. You do not actually have to read the entire book—simply opening the book and immediately closing it again
is sufficient. There are five different books for each of the 18 skills making 90 in total. Unlike trainers, there is no
limit to how many skill books you can read at one level.

When you pick up a skill book, you automatically start to read it, and therefore you immediately obtain the skill
bonus. You can read any skill book without it being considered theft—theft only occurs if you select to "Take" an
owned book while reading it. If you want to save a skill book for later, you can ask your follower to take or steal it
for you.

If you find an additional copy of a skill book that you have already read, you will not receive any skill bonus for
reading the additional copy.

Skill books are only available at the places listed in the following table, or as quest rewards (e.g. Hitting the
Books). They are never found in random loot, and they are never part of a merchant's inventory. Skill books can
be easily distinguished from most other books simply by looking at their value, which is usually around 50 gold or
higher. Most other books are substantially less. They can be sold to any merchants who trade in books, i.e. spell
and general goods merchants.

Achievements
The achievement related to skill books is:

Reader (20 points/Bronze) — Read 50 Skill Books


To unlock this achievement 50 different skill books must be read, out of the 90 available.
Books count towards this achievement even if they are read after the related skill has reached 100. In this
case, no message appears on screen informing you that you have read a new skill book, but the game's
counter is still increased.
You can track your progress towards the achievement using the "Skill Books Read" statistic on the General
page of your journal's General Stats.

Bugs
On rare occasions, reading a skill book will report the skill being leveled, but not actually increase the skill's
level. Being close to leveling the skill may increase the likelihood of this happening.
Save your game and check the skill's value before reading any books. If it doesn't increase after reading,
reload the save and increase the level of the skill before reading the book.
