Every Book in Oblivion Could Be on Your Bookshelf



Every in-game book from Oblivion has made its way into one fascinating collection.


Reddit user notadoctoreither was fascinated by the books of Oblivion which included everything from romances to the history of Cyrodiil. There was just one problem: Reading them all on a TV or monitor was kind of a drag. So he did what any overly-industrious gaming fan would do, and has collected 257 in-game books into one massive tome.

"I thought it'd be nicer to read all the great in-game books from a real book," explains notadoctoreither. Which seems easy enough until you realize the sheer enormity of the task of printing the books themselves then the job of binding the book by hand. The 952-page volume took three years to plan of planning (one and off) and a solid month of construction to complete.

Oblivion has a massive modding community that is still quite alive and strong, which is saying a lot for a game that has been around since 2006. Notadoctoreither has gone one step beyond the traditional mods and has created this collection that any Oblivion fan would pay a sizeable amount to own or just read.

With Skyrim's release on the horizon there's going to be a whole new slew of in-game books that are just begging to be collected and put into a collection of their own.

I want it!

I'm kinda reminded of how I used to have stacks of books in my Hlaalu mansion in Morrowind.

Damnit that's awesome.

I would actually buy this off him. I love the Tamriel lore and can't flipping WAIT for Skyrim.

Here is the big question,"Can you kill a goat with it?"
That's what I would like to know before making this investment.

Er... is Bethesda ok with him doing this? They can get pretty antsy over things like this...

They reposted it on their facebook page, so I think they'll be ok with it as long as he doesn't try to sell it.

On kotaku, where i saw this earlier, you can download the actual book and then print it out yourself if you so wished. Me, i just downloaded to my PC, it clocks in at nearly 950 pages so no way am i printing that. lol

He really should try and get Bethy to give the OK to publish it, or have them publish it themselves. Collectors Edition item for ESVI, anyone?

The time, effort and love put into that is certainly impressive. Too bad the fine folks at Bethesda can't write worth a damn

O_O...Damn that´s what I call a fan. I didn't care much for the books in oblivion exception for those describing the history of Cyrodil since I'm a big history buff.
