Someone in my guild said he found 25 by going to a mages guild and logging in and out. I tried this but had no luck so far
There should be a list in Eidetic Memory>Skill Books. Prior to Summerset there were 84 books in that list.
I am now taking regularly two last jewelry crafting levels with books. The route is:
Simmerene: Monastery, Kinlady's house, Inn, Mages Guild.
Alinor: Mages Guild
and i usually have both. Repeated by now about ten times.
Traitor's Vault (in Artaeum) has been last resort on few cases when even after Alinor a book was missing.
Few times i have tried other locations and it feels that the books can be everywhere and often. Summerset is full of bookshelves.
Oh, i thought the bookshelves stay the same. I try this next time, thanks!I am now taking regularly two last jewelry crafting levels with books. The route is:

I've been doing the final two levels with books as well. It's a lot simpler for me, though. I first visit the Augury Basin for the guaranteed spawn of one of the books. And then just go in and out of the Shimmerene monastery. Since that is a separate zone, each time you enter/exit it, it will reset all of the bookshelves. Though I did make a few MG/manor runs too, but the monastery loop seems a bit faster.
