What books increase skills?

There is a lot of books, I'm only interested in them for skills.

How to know what books will give you any skill?

Without looking it up I tend to judge them on their value. i.e. books worth 50 gold (or more) more often than not tend to level me up. The ones worth less don't. – IttyBrittyGirlGamer Nov 18 '11 at 22:12

Agree with above most books worth 25+ septums will have a chance at leveling a skill. (this is the same as it was in oblivion although the books tend to be worth less IMO) and it never hurts to try also if your a thief and you know about shadowmarks I have found many marked contain a book

In short you can't. A certain rule of thumb might be that the more expensive book, the more likely it is to level you up. No guaranteed approach though. You should just go opening+closing the interesting books

expensive books has been very reliable for me – David Fullerton♦ Nov 18 '11 at 22:24
It's proven reliable for me as well. I do believe I've come across one expensive book which didn't give me a skill point, but it did give me a quest. – Wipqozn Nov 18 '11 at 22:33
