OTHER BOOKS RELATED TO HALF ELVEN CULTURE
There are culturally related books that must be quested, to obtain them, such as the Sacred, Blessed, Eminent, Seals, Revered, Sublime, Ancestral, Exalted and other books such as the ones offered by Bellfast in Corathus Creep.
However, the only one you really need from Bellfast (required for combines), is the Scrindite's Senescent Scribbles book. For details on the Bellfast tasks, click here.
Then there are the many merchant sold books, noted below.
There are 53 (fifty-three) of of these books... or 61 (sixty-one), if you are a Gnome!
While there are some other books somewhat related to cultural tradeskills, they are essentially lore (or clue) books, and are not required or needed, otherwise.
Some books are just "lore" while others can be scribed. This means that the book has a "scribe" button inside. Once scribed, the recipes related to that book will be added to the recipe list of the appropriate (cultural) forge, sewing kit, pottery wheel, kiln and/or jewelry kit. You may have to zone before they actually show up.
NOTE: The books noted below are merchant sold. The merchants, it appears, recognize your current skill level and may not offer to sell you books that are above your current ability. They also limit what they offer based on your race.
