Fallout: New Vegas skill books

Skill books
Reading a skill book permanently raises the corresponding skill by three points (four if you've taken the Comprehension perk).

Skill books include:
 * Meeting People
 * Patriot Cooking

Skill magazines
Skill magazines temporarily raise the corresponding skill by ten points (fifteen with Comprehension), but wear off after a while (longer with Retention). They are much more common than skill books.

Skill magazines include:


 * Programmer's Digest
 * Today's Physician
 * A Lad's Life
