Description
Tamriel Compendium adds 177 books that were present in past Elder Scrolls games but not included in Skyrim. Books of fiction, theatrical plays, jokes, metaphysics, guides, poems, debates, religion and more. Many of those books come from another province of Tamriel, allowing you to learn more about their views on societies, politics and religion. Some tales are written in twelve volumes or more. If you're the player who loves to forget about Skyrim and dig into Tamriel's lore, you'll find that visiting bookshops, looting dungeons and browsing through the College of Winterhold's library will greatly reward you.

The new books are added to the game's book leveled lists. This means that they randomly appear in dungeons, general goods merchants, homes or any locations where books are spawned. But the best way to find them is to browse through the College of Winterhold's library or purchase them from the librarian.

The writers of the Elder Scrolls team have given us excellent reading material in the games but many do not make it in the next. Tamriel Compendium brings this material to your character's reading table.

Grab yourself a candle, browse through your book collection and take a seat. Stories of honor, gods and Tamriel myths await you.

Installation Note
=============

If you want to have a Skill Book version of Tamriel Compendium, which changes 11 of the books into skill books, you can download it on one of the file mirrors below. Because the Workshop does not allow for multiple files on the same page, I could not include it here.

Thanks, man. I was about to make a mod like this myself, but I'm glad I checked first to see if anyone else had done it. Bethesda hired a number of professional authors to craft all the in-game lore, and I never understood why so much of it got discarded from one game to the next. Great work!

@Big Daddy:
Yep!
All for your argonian-spear-polishing pleasure!

iv had this mod for a good long time now since it came out infact and this mod is truly amazing it adds so much imersion to the game I am stunned and I truly admire it

The 'hitboxes' on the added books appear to be a little wonky. For instance, when using the Unlimited Bookshelves mod, these books often end up inside of each other, whereas the vanilla books work just fine.

Nice reading and collecting the extra books, cheers. gotta agree with everyone else. it was great sneaking through the caves and dungeons or hunting in the wilds with the sounds from SoS. if you ever get them back up, i for one will be very appreciative.

where is sounds of skyrim?????? why do you no longer follow your steam??????????? Please respond I loved sounds of skyrim, oh and btw to anybody else who wants them you can get them from the skyrim+ collection I think. You can find most of them if you search sounds of skyrim under collections.

Im not sure but it still works, if you add it from a collection list. The synchronisation needs some time but I could install the "sounds of wild" mod with this very atmospheric sounds.

@Cliffworms:
The called mod was/is great and gives the game a great feeling! :)
