89 A Style Book is a one time read consumable. Right click the book in the inventory to read it, and the entire set of designs it lists is added permanently to that character's Wharf customisation menu. After reading, the book is removed from the inventory but the designs stay forever, applicable to any ship that character owns. Other characters in a shared base must each read their own copy.

2526 Read the book at the dock before opening the Wharf customisation menu. Browsing for the new design before reading the book will leave the menu blank where the new options should be.Style Books are bound to a character, not a base or a clan. If a friend wants the same designs they need to buy and read their own copy.All cosmetic designs are stat neutral. There is no mechanical reason to prefer one design over another, only personal aesthetic and the visual signal it sends to other crews at sea.
