The Willamette Parkview Mall has five bookstores, which have 24 books that will increase Frank's abilities in different ways, so long as they are in his inventory.[1]
Effects[]
Different books have different effects, books with a:
- PP+ symbol - give Frank a boost in Prestige Points from photography or defeating zombies.
- Skill + symbol allow Frank to learn skateboarding and cycling skills, or skills that can make the escorting of Survivors easier.
- Heal + symbol boost the restorative power of food (multiple Books can be held in tandem to further increase the bonus percentage).
- Item + increase durability of certain books. Like the Heal+ Books, holding multiple Books with the same effect can increase this effect.
Press 
when Frank is holding the book in his hands to see the book's effects.[2]
Multiple books with the same effect[]
In this list below is the following:
- (x2) = the item can be effected by two books at the same time.
- (x3) = the item can be effected by three books at the same time.
- For Example
If Frank is carrying these three books, the Hedge trimmer (x3) can have simultaneously its:
- durability increased by the Criminal Biography Book,
- durability increased even more by the Engineering Book,
- durability increased yet even more by the Lifestyle Magazine.
As an example of a book's abilities, the hedge trimmer was tested:
- No book: 20 hits before destroyed
- One books: 60 hits
- Two books: 180 hits[3]

Trivia[]
Like other books, the survival book respawns if Frank dropped or lost it in a different load screen area
- If Frank loses all of his possessions, such as in the Cultist's Hideout and in the Photographer's Pride scoop, all of the books will be returned back to their original locations for Frank to pick up later, this includes the Survival and Wrestling books from The Hatchet Man scoop, found in the empty store next to Crislip's Home Saloon. Book Camera 2 can be found again outside of Colombian Roastmasters on the second floor of Paradise Plaza. Like CDs, books always drop on the back cover side unless bumped while they are dropping.
