Pre-War Book (Fallout 3)

A pre-War book is a book that has not been destroyed, burned, or otherwise rendered unreadable. It is a fairly rare miscellaneous item.

Characteristics
Pre-War books in the Capital Wasteland come in two different versions, green and rare blue. Aside from use as Rock-It Launcher ammunition, the green books are desired by the Brotherhood of Steel. Specifically, the Brotherhood Scribe Yearling, located within the Arlington Library, who will give 10 XP and 100 bottle caps per book for contributing these to their archives.
