Locations of all the repeatable learning books
There are many books you can find which can be read endlessly to learn stuff. I believe this is the complete list, but any farther ideas are welcome:


Chapter 1:
---------------
Sleaze Armor: Surely Shocking Jokes (Complete set)
Purchased from a travelling salesman in a random ocean city encounter (chapter 1)


Chapter 2:
---------------
Stench Armor: Flora Foetidae
Found in junkyard (chapter 2), really easy to miss, gotta pull it out of the ground here

Chapter 3:
---------------
Max Health: Encyclopaedium of Bloode
Found in the Root cellar in Sandwich Museum, (in the past not the present)
You have to finish the whole quest there to get into this place (requires chapter 3)

Hot Armor: Short stories of Long Winters
Found in SIT university (requires chapter 3), enter the BBQ wing maintenance from the Steam Tunnels (requires 8 moxie check) and the book is in the corner of the room above
(This should really be cold armor not hot)

Meat Gains: 111 Delicious Mutton Recipes
Gained from uncursing (and solving the curse of) the book you get at the end of Chapter 3

Chapter 5:
---------------
Spooky Armor: Scary stories for spooky children
Found in Gilmore house, Gray County (Chapter 5)

Cold Armor: Posthumous Works of the Romance poets
Found at H*** Hole (Chapter 5) by throwing in His Majesty's Least Favourite Poems, purchased from Ovid in SIT University
(This should really be hot armor not cold)

Item Drops: Expensive Luxuries, Inc Catalog
Gained from Papusascu house/Black gold mine (Chapter 5), by winning the fight


Is this all of them?

Does anyone know where others can be found?

There was a book for max HP gains in the basement of the Sandwich manor and a creepy book seller who lives in chapter 3's university will randomly pop up to offer used textbooks for physical, ranged and (I assume but haven't gotten it yet) magic damage. I also have a book on the psychology of panhandling for boosted meat drops that I think I got from SIT's stacks and Short Stories for Long Winters, the hot armor that really should be cold, but I'm only guessing I found that in the university too.

All of these are one-offs where the book gets consumed after you learn from it. I don't count those

Any chance of being more specific?

The book from the SIT stacks requires 14 Hobo Alphabet rating and it's the top most racks.
