📋 About This Mod
A small texture replacer to make the Pre-War book props (stacks and single books) look more interesting and detailed. Texture size is 2K, includes diffuse and specular maps. It was made based on antique book covers scanned by the Met Museum. It will also change any objects that use the pre-war books, like Eli's filled shelf shown in screenshots. Don't hesitate to add any pictures you take to the gallery.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in your load order — no F4SE needed.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it through that to keep your load order clean and easy to remove.
- Pair this with other texture mods for a cohesive look, but be aware that other mods touching the same book textures may conflict — check load order.
