Just a bit of a heads up: there are a couple of bugs in this mod. These bugs are in the scripts that attached to the books. The first is on the journal called The Path of Transcendance that you're supposed to find during the Dark Brotherhood quest called "Affairs of a Wizard". The journal doesn't appear because the author (not sure which one) didn't copy the original script that was on this book, so the book never appears when you are doing this quest. The fix is to grab the appropriate section from the original script and copy it into the book placement script. I'm using the Book Jackets version of book placement, so I copied the fix into that plugin. This is minor - the quest can be completed without the book.
The second bug is more significant. The Oghma Infinium script from the original game has a bug in that the increase to Willpower is not applied properly if the Path of the Spirit is chosen. This was fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, but the BP version doesn't have this fix (no doubt due to timing). Once again, the fix is to copy the fixed script from the UOP and integrate it into the BP script.
I don't know where support of this mod stands, so I have simply passed along the fixes.
Thank you so much for making this! Makes my study so much tidier :) As others have mentioned, I had some problems finding the spellbook as it didn't show up in some of the bookshops (couldn't find it in Cheyindal) but it was in Leyawiin.
Hmm, i remember I had this mod and happened to be in Chorrol and did not see it there either. Will check with 1st Edition. It's not the only mod that isn't quite firing correctly tbh
Edit: Found it in Leyawin. Maybe it just isn't in Chorrol?
I can't seem to figure out what's causing this particular issue, but here goes:
I have activated both files, per the readme, as I am using vanilla books. I've obtained the spells correctly.
When I activate librarian's helper, and then interact with the books, I don't get the menu! It only reads them.
The only book in the game that seems to interact with the spell is the tome introduced by the mod. It is the only time I've been able to get the orientation menu to appear.
Am I doing something wrong? Getting a fair bit frustrated by this.

Edit: Found it in Leyawin. Maybe it just isn't in Chorrol?The telekinesis spell is a slightly more finicky alternative.

bookplacing.esm Version 1.2 Active
Warning: Check you are using v2+. If not, Update. v1 has a severe bug with the Mystic Emporium disappearing.
It is version two from this page but is reading as an earlier version I guess.
