Decorative Books is small book and scroll props for desks and shelves. Decorative Books are small surface-placed props that fill a desk, shelf, or reading nook. They are craft-cheap and fit both a captain's quarters and a scholar's workshop aesthetic.

Book decorations snap to flat surfaces such as Tables, Shelves, Decorative Tables, and Wardrobes. They are small-footprint items, so several can be combined on the same surface.
Individual pieces range from a single Book to a multi-volume Book Set, plus Open Book, Open Scroll, and Scrolls variants. Every variant in this sub-category shares the same Books comfort bonus, so placement variety is purely visual.
Combine decorative books with a nearby Lamp or Candlestick, an Elegant Desk or Decorative Table, and a Luxurious Bookcase to build a library corner.
Stack and cluster several books on one Table to create a library scene. Their small footprint means multiple pieces rarely collide.
Open Scroll pieces work well on desks next to a Grandfather Clock or Decorative Globe.
Comfort +1 bonuses in a given decoration sub-category do not stack. Placing a second piece of the same sub-category does not add more comfort, it only changes the aesthetic.
