Pre-War book (Fallout: New Vegas)

A pre-War book is a book that has not been destroyed, burned, or otherwise rendered unreadable. In Fallout: New Vegas the books are extremely common, unlike in Fallout 3, and come in a variety of colors, sizes, and overall variants.

Characteristics
Pre-War books are a common item within the Mojave Wasteland, and can be found inside most occupied dwellings. They are one of the first miscellaneous items the player is likely to encounter in bulk (28 of them are located inside Doc Mitchell's house). There are 9 varieties of pre-War books, with 4 different color patterns and 2 different sizes. Although most varieties of pre-War books are worth one bottle cap, a relatively "rare" variety of blue pre-War book is worth five.

In the add-on Old World Blues, you can take them to the Book Chute and have them turned to blank books used for making skill books.

Locations
The G.E.C.K. shows that there are 960 pre-War books in the game, 1184 with add-ons. Not all of them are obtainable due to their placement.
