Skill books are located throughout the wasteland, and can be read to improve your skill in a given topic. Each skill normally has 25 books associated with them, and can be used once for their boost in skill.

When read, books improve a skill by one point. With the Comprehension perk, you gain an additional skill point when reading books.

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.)
