The icon I can see is always 'open book' regardless if I have read it.
I know the proper books in 7's,batter up,sniper can be seen in player ui
But schematics,recipes and the like.......
There's a little white icon in I think the top left or top right of many different items; Like the little gear wheel for 'Mods installed', the explosion icon for 'explosives', the shapes icon for 'this item has shape menu' and so on; In this same place is where a little white book icon appears for recipes and such. It should be either a closed book, or an open one depending if you'd read it or not.

An important thing to note here is that you can -always- read a book, even if you've already read it. So be aware of that before being certain that you haven't read something before.. Reading a book subsequent times gives a small chunk of exp, though it doesnt do anything else.

In this image, the top two items in the inventory are recipes; You can see the little book icon there in the top left of their individual icons. It's open because they'd already learned them. Those lil icons are also visible in the top center image when the item is selected.

Open book icon, you’ve read it. Closed book icon, you haven’t read it.

You're better off selling books you've already read. Using again gives what? 50 XP or something?

I cant’ remember ever having seen one, but one of the Machinegunner books allows you to craft m60s.

good to know.. I've been going by the sound effect it makes.. there's like an "AH HA" sound when it's new.. otherwise it's just a crumpled paper sound.
