Is this a bug? Should the recipes be added when I read them or only if I actually craft them? Seems like I have to keep the book in my inventory for now

The recipes from books that I don't actually craft should still be recorded for me?

Either it isn't declaring the learning on screen but is granting the recipe or it isn't even granting the recipe, either way it needs to be fixed.

I think they have separate recipe books, it's extremely annoying and it requires you to pay attention which character uses the book. No idea if it's a bug or it's designed that way but I officially hate it

No idea if it's a bug or it's designed that way but I officially hate it I read books for the first time on a particular character only and there are still crafting books that do not transfer to the recipe log. The book you find by the drunk guards at the bridge on the way to Cyseal at the start of the game is one such book.

A lot of the books don't really contain a recipe , but just a vague description of how to create certain items. If it would unlock all recipes it would be a nightmare! Think about it this way: You can boost every weapon or piece of armour with a tormented soul, so reading that book would make you unlock 40 recipes. Last edited by Styno; 02/11/15 11:59 AM.

This is a book showing how to make pizza, or poison, etc (for example) that isn't translating into a recipe. Very specific things. Other books that do the same seem to get entered into the log. It's like some books are just missing the proper flag to trigger that transfer.
