I go all the way to winterhold to sell books. I ugh, stole a lot of books.

No merchants are willing to buy it.

So I should just drop the books?

    The problem is that they’re stolen. Lots of merchants buy books.

There are a few ways you can sell books:

  1. Urag at the College of Winterhold (which you already know about).
  2. Selling books to a fence (requires some progress in the Thieves' Guild questline - fences will buy anything, even if it's stolen).
  3. Getting the Merchant and Fence perks in the Speech tree. Merchant allows you to sell any item to any merchant. Fence allows you to even sell stolen items to merchants that aren't normally fences.

  • Looks like fences won't buy most books. I have a stolen "Song of the Alchemists", but Tonilia won't buy it.
