There are over a hundred books in Oblivion, and when first opened, some will grant either a quest, a level in a certain skill, teach a spell, or add a new location to the map. Other books vary from simple stories, to journals that assist in quests and lore that helps to become familiar with the culture and history of Tamriel. A few books are on the Daedra. The lore books have no real in-game use, but can be sold to certain merchants for reasonable amounts of gold or put in bookcases for decoration.
