Book's interface is from JiFFY Morrowind UI Revamped. Personally I like Dark UI more as UI replacement, but in the end I made custom mash-up of a few different UI mods, maybe I'll upload it someday. It is here.
I made this mod for myself, because I wanted to have an immersive way to learn how to read in Daedric within the game. I learned how to add new books and format them, by studying Alchemy Book mod, editing its files and spending lots of hours figuring out how this cursed text formatting works. If you would like to make your own book, check source files that i'll add in the download section, it may help you, also feel free to write to me if you would have any question.
PS. English in not my native language, so I am sorry for any misunderstanding and language mistakes<3

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Great for lore nerds who want to actually read Daedric inscriptions.
- Small but dedicated following (28 endorsements) — it's a niche gem.
- Simple concept that adds a unique educational twist to the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches.
- Only 28 endorsements, so it's not widely tested by the community.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, install it like any other mod and activate it in your load order.
- Look for the books in leveled lists or check the author's intended location — since the description is vague, you might need to use console commands to find them.
- Since it's a book mod, it shouldn't conflict with most mods, but always check for compatibility patches if you have other book overhauls.
