Gamehelper - Spell Tomes Review
"Installing the Spell Tomes mod is not going to make you feel like you’re playing a brand spankin’ new version of Oblivion, as you’ll likely play for several hours before finding your first volume, but it does provide a soupcon (look it up) of freshness and really, the more loot in the game, the better, right?"
