It doesnt say where one can get them on stratics unfortunatly. Any answers would be most appreciated!

You purchase them from any Provisioner at the different provisioner shops ... 15 gps each ...

Thanks Queen Mum - that worked a treat, I thought the ones they sold were just the primer on arms and weapons, as thats what they said, I didnt realise they were randomly generated. Thanks again!

You can also steal a lot of them from the library with a thief. They are in the bookshelves. Just try not to get guardwhacked.

Sounds like fun, is that felucca only or trammel too?

I think that at least one of the books written by Lord Blackthorn is also found as a drop at Blackthorn's Castle in Ilshenar. Betrayers or Juggernauts drop it.

I've seen them in Tram, but haven't tried to steal them there. So, I dunno if you can or not. I guess you can strip naked and give it a try.

Ive got practically a full set of those you can have with pleasure ,if your on Europa Shard and havent already bought them

I got them all thanks, I bought them all off a vendor for 15gp each couldnt go wrong. Thanks again!

Also this is a great source of books. You can scribe your own in-game. Ctrl-c and Ctrl-V work in the client.
