Notes

• When a book is "used" in the player's inventory, it will trigger any OnEquip blocks in the book's script (providing the Teaches field is set to NONE).
• The Book Menu Restored Plugin restores a great deal of book functionality from Oblivion.
• Fallout: New Vegas introduced skill magazines. These are not books, but instead Ingestible which can be differentiated from other ingestible items with IsSkillMagazine.
