For example; You pick up Grognak the Barbarian from Jacobstown, and later on throughout game play, it disappears from your inventory.

This however is a new bug discovered in the game on the Xbox 360. Needs verification for PC.

Behind the scenes

 * The book could be a pun of "Living: Congressional Style" written by A.R. Larry. While the book was written in 1932, it was never published.

Bugs

 * If you buy the Love Machine Theme, take the skill book and then go buy a misc item for your house (Pristine Nuka-Cola Machine, My First Infirmary) you will get another skill book. Rinse and repeat to get a total of 6 skill books as long as you can spare the caps.
 * It's possible for the book in your Tenpenny Tower Suite to respawn. To have this happen, get the book while the tower is still owned by Allistair Tenpenny and his residents. If you then allow the ghouls to take over the tower, Tenpenny Tower is replaced with "Ruined Tenpenny Tower" and the book will re-appear.
