Annoyed that you don't know exactly what the perks do in T3nd0's Perkus Maximus? Don't want to alt-tab every time to look up the documentation? Then I've got the perfect mod for you!
(Technically not required, but this mod is useless otherwise)

Changelogs
Version 2.0
Removed Bookcases from their scattered locations (Jorvaskrr, High Hrothgar, College of Winterhold, etc). Only the Helgen Bookcases and Alternate Start Chest remain in place
Two new 0-cost Conjuration spells have been added: "Acquire PerMa Documentation" and "Banish PerMa Documentation" which use very small scripts to add and remove books from your inventory
"Acquire PerMa Documentation" adds ONE copy all Skill Documentation books you don't already have in your inventory. It does not add the "General Notes" or Skill Tree overview documentation
"Banish PerMa Documentation" removes ALL Skill Documentation books found in your inventory. Meaning if you have 100 copies of "Light Weapons", it will remove all 100 copies. This spell does not remove the "General Notes" or Skill Tree overview documentation
Removal of previously mentioned bookcases make both versions of this mod compatible with Immersive College of Winterhold, Open Cities, etc. Compatibility with "Helgen Reborn" or any other mods that modify Helgen is unknown, but can ultimately be worked-around by manually adding the new spells via the console.
Version 1.7
Fixed Wayfarer book to not cut off at "Camouflage Tincture" (the "<=" symbol cuts off text)
One-Handed and Two-Handed books now say the proper skill name for PerMa
Removed/Detached the poorly made script which created a pop-up every time you opened one of my bookcases.
Version 1.6.4
Changed Mod Title for better clarity of Mod's function
Added pop-up messages when opening bookcases which can be disabled
IMPORTANT Please read the Sticky post for running the Perkus Maximus Patcher. I've encountered many of the same issues others have complained about with this mod and have figured out many work-arounds and "fixes". Please try these methods and see if they help you. If it still doesn't work, I will try to help if I can, but please be patient. There are times where I'm inactive on Nexus for a while due to IRL responsibilities and commitments.
--Why this mod exists--
Immersive Perkus Maximus Documentation seeks to eliminate the need to leave your game to fully understand the perks in Perkus Maximus.
This mod is standalone, so TECHNICALLY you don't need Perkus Maximus for this, but if you don't have it, there's no reason to have this mod.
This mod adds in-game books which contain the documentation T3nd0 provides in his download page, as well as two spells which allow you to view any of the documentation books at-will or remove them from your inventory for de-cluttering purposes.
ALL CREDIT FOR THE DOCUMENTATION ITSELF GOES TO T3nd0! I HAVE NOT USED ANY ACTUAL IN-GAME ASSETS FROM PERKUS MAXIMUS TO MAKE THIS MOD!
I have simply cleaned up the documentation so it's easier to read and understand.
There are bookcases in areas that players are most likely to pass through which contain certain sets of documentation that will fit your needs most.
There is a bookcase dedicated to each of the 3 main sections of skill sets.
The spells cost 0 Magicka and the books have no weight! Huzzah!
If you add this mod mid-playthrough, use command "help documentation" to quickly find and add the spells or spell tomes to summon and banish the documentation at-will.
--Where they're located--
All 3 Helgen - Helgen Keep
Alternate Start Prison Cell - In a chest at bottom of stairs leading to the bed (Requires Alternate Start and the Alternate Start version of this mod, NOT the main file)
-REMOVED IN VERSION 2.0- Throat of the World - High Hrothgar (Greybeard Faction Tagged)
*NOT the Ragged Flagon, the actual HQ. I hadn't been in the Thieve's Guild for a while so I forgot that the Ragged Flagon wasn't actually the guild headquarters. Figured I'd add this just in case someone didn't know/forgot like I did.
Mage Bookcase Winterhold - College of Winterhold Arcaneum (College of Winterhold Faction tagged) -REMOVED IN VERSION 2.0-
--Bug Reporting--
-Please check the "Bugs" tab for known issues and for new issue reporting!
--What's In Progress (Non-Bug Updates)--
-Fixing Spelling/Grammar issues as they arise*
*Skill names created by T3nd0 are excluded since changing them in the skill tree would require me changing/using assets from T3nd0's mod and therefore break the rules of my current permission state. If you wish to submit those error for changes, please submit them to the Perkus Maximus mod page.
