Notes
- The Big Book of Science and U.S. Army: 30 Flamethrower Recipes each have one copy included on an entity that occasionally respawns in their location. As such, you can obtain an infinite number of these books.
- Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor has only 23 copies. An additional copy can be rediscovered in Tenpenny Tower after you get the Ghouls into the building.
- You cannot obtain all skill books with a single character, since some of the available books are mutually exclusive depending on the choices required to obtain them (e.g. the quest resolution of The Power of the Atom.)
