This article is about an older version of DF.

Books are a type of item. They cannot normally be created by players either in adventurer mode or fortress mode, but will be written during world generation by necromancers and various demonic rulers. While it is possible to create books using custom reactions and add pages to them, the pages will always be blank.

Books are currently found sitting on tables in the tower or keep of the entity that wrote them.

One must be a Reader of at least Novice skill in order to read a book.
