Book Covers Skyrim is a high quality retexture of all the readable books, journals, and notes in vanilla Skyrim and all three DLC. It gives each book and journal its own unique cover and adds many additional paper styles to the notes. As of version 3. 0, Spell Tomes are included in the mod with optimised meshes and a replacement texture for each school. All spells of a given school share the same texture.
To help distinguish skill books from other books, they have had a star added to the spine of the book.
