I've found a whole lot of libraries to 'borrow' from, but I'm not sure which books are worth stea..borrowing. Where can I find a list of books that increase skills when they are read? Preferably with their locations.

The wikia has a tiny list, which I assume will be populated as books are found. elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Skill_Book_(Skyrim) – Arkive Nov 11 '11 at 17:38

Also, you can read skill books without stealing them, unless of course you wish to 'borrow' them for your own library. – Arkive Nov 11 '11 at 17:40

Of course I would never steal a book, just borrow them and move them to my own residence until the owner asks for them back. – Rapida Nov 11 '11 at 17:42

Also for books in you inventory (or laying face up):

Books that increase a skill have that skill's icon on the cover

If the value is about 2 to 15 gold, ignore it.

If it is worth 50-70 gold, then read it - it's a skill book.

This does not take into account a few books that give you quests.
