📋 About This Mod
As someone who enjoys reading books in-game, I’ve brought back the paper textures that disappeared after Skyrim. Now you can finally enjoy real, physical books again!
The 4. 0 update reworked everything and manually tuned many features to make books feel more realistic, and it includes seven high-quality book textures.
Each book has its own unique characteristics and different text positioning.

- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to place it correctly in your load order to avoid conflicts with other UI overhauls.
- Check the mod page for any required dependencies or patches, as the description is sparse.
