Bookshelves

Do skill books respawn? Even randomly? In other words, if I looked at a particular bookshelf earlier in the game and there was a skill book in it, is it possible for there to be another one later on?

I seem to have had this happen but I'm not sure if it's an actual case of the phase I was in respawning or just entering a new phase altogether.

Yes, I make it a habit to go back every so often and hit the bookshelves in the Mages Guild. It also seems after you have reached a certain level in a zone that you will not receive any more points towards a skill line from the bookshelves.

My observation has been that bookshelves are randomized; but only after logging out and logging in again.

Through the different experiences I've had, as well as the different experiences those I have played with have mentioned (granted, I don't make it a habit to ask everyone what their experiences are about book shelves, it just comes up), it seems to me that it's all completely random.

I seem to find myself getting ranks in skilllines I haven't even touched before, like Provisioning may hit level 2 or the like. Not that I'm arguing, but seems to hint more at it being purely random.

I have so many characters and try to play different ones with so many of my real life friends that I don't know which I have visited already and which I haven't - I just click on most any ones I see. I can't say by doing that, I have ever really seen a drought in gaining points.

I have had success twice searching the bookcase in the Harborage, so I'm guessing so. Maybe bookshelves go on cooldown when you search them.

They are random 100% i got 3 different skills from exactly same bookshelf in Daggerfall mages guild hall. But not after relogs, just few days later while visiting/doing quests. It happen several times since then. Can be related to server/daily quest restart, as 25 relogs(just to test it) gave me always same book.
