Bookshelves! Scroll Racks!

[FaithfulToadd]

Dear J&L: Please consider adding bookshelves and scroll racks to the game!



The addition of the Fine and Grand Study Desks reminds me very much of a library, and they look like they belong in one. I'd love to have rows of bookshelves lining our village Study Hall alongside these new desks, even if only for cosmetic purposes.

Utility could be added later. I know there are already some ideas - offhand suggestions, mind you - floating around involving modifications to the Study Desk objects, to allow for things like a 5% boost to flowers, and so-forth. As I recall, an 'alchemy station' was one such suggestion floated by Jorb in a recent stream? Perhaps some objects like Bookshelves could be 'linked' or simply placed nearby, to modify the items placed in that study desk. I'm not precisely sure how that would work when the items are transferred to your hearthling's Study, but I'm sure there's some reasonable idea there.

There is a whole other thread from back in the day about adding more depth to the Curio system. Anyhow, back on topic: bookshelves!

A requested feature by a few of the community members is books where you could put material accounts into and clicking on the book would learn all accounts within the book, same with memorizing hearhtlings memo.
Wanting books that were 3x3 up to 12x12 worth of pages varying on the typical "leather pages", "wool pages", and "fine paper".

A bookshelves would also be a welcome feature, with the display s lot like a study desk so that we might we might be able to throw a trinket or two on them.

Books themselves sound awfully interesting! I'd love to have books as curiosities, too, in three varieties; with Small, Medium or Large page counts. Bonus points if you can equip them in the hands slot and read/write in them.

The larger the book is, the higher LP and mental weight it has, similar to the different kinds of Easter egg curios. Would be extra neat if we could optionally name the item after crafting it.

Studying 'Toaddy's Grand Cattle Rancher's Almanac' to gain LP seems very fun and flavorful for my apprentice cattle ranching character.
