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
There are 962 pre-War books placed in the base game; 1208 with all the DLC. Not all of them are obtainable due to game engine limitations.

The Rare blue version appears only 5 times in the base game, and 2 more in Honest Hearts. Lonesome Road adds a repeatable script after the main quest is finished.
 * 1 in the mining office in Sloan.
 * 1 in the entrance hall to Vault 22.
 * 3 in an unoccupied motel room in Novac.
 * 2 in the Zion fishing lodge.
 * Not a location, but a repeatable dialog: 1 is available every three days from Ulysses, if he survives to scavenge The Divide for you.
 * Vault 21 lockers.
 * Sold by many vendors.

Brown versions can be found in much larger quantities:
 * 118 on a shelf in the Lucky 38 penthouse
 * 19 in the NCR Embassy
 * 16 in the Nellis schoolhouse at Nellis Air Force Base
