    They're not in the editor. I can confirm that, If you've completed a lorebook set, the stack is buyable from mystics.

    I checked this on my Master Wizard, and saw the cheapest set was 5,000 gold, so, for me, filling up my library may need to wait a bit. :D
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    Spoiler
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    did you go into your inventory and click on them to open them? There are several individual books in each set so you have to open the set to retrieve them all before they come up in the editor

    Yeah, those books are probably one of the biggest disappointments for me. I was hoping they'd be designed to interact with bookshelves... nope. :\

    5k per series, each containing about 9-10 books when opened. Sold at every mage guild. I gave up on my library after 10 minutes when could not align 3 books nicely on a shelf. Maybe just need more practice.

    Can anyone provide an image of what this looks like in a home?

    Also, once you buy the collection from the mage, do you need materials to make the bookshelf etc too or does it all come together?

    Many thanks!

    The bookshelves can either be crafted from recipes you loot or you can buy them with crowns. There are shelves they fit in better than others if you want them to stand up. But if you want to just lay them down like they've just been being read-you can put them in/on anything

    i put them on shelves on the pts but didn't take screen shots :/ i haven't done it on live. But it is possible to get them aligned. Not perfectly but it looks sort of realistic actually.

    Yes as noted you click and open them from inventory and then they are added to housing interface . I bought a whole library yesterday and one book got stuck in the wall of my house . I can't remove it from half way in the wall so I'm just pretending it's one I threw and it got stuck in the plaster .

    LOL! this was so funny i wasn't sure if i wanted to point out that you can go to the "retrieve" tab in your housing editor window and find it and remove it that way. But i dunno. Maybe you should leave it :P

    I'm a bit disappointed that some books don't fit in bookcases very well at all, and it seems no matter what I do once it is placed on the bookcase it is no longer readable. If I place the book on the floor or desk I can read it

    Also here's a slight look at some in a bookcase. It wasn't the focus but you can see what I've done with books so far, which isn't much because it takes some time placing them just right.

    Each book counts as a separate decoration, which means I can't fill my castle the way I had hoped.
