But generally the idea is that the book is a reference, not something that one reads all at once. So the idea is that as long as the character is able to consult the book, the character gets a +x circumstance bonus on the check.If you want to go with something more permanent, use the guidelines in the DMG for an unslotted item with a skill check bonus. That would be functionally equivalent. But remember that they are guidelines, not hard and fast rules. If you come up with an item that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Use Magic Device, for instance, I would generally make more expensive to increase than other skills just because the skill is so useful.</blockquote>
