Notes

• You can actually get a maximum of 25 Speech skill books when you consider the following:
  • You can only get either the Lying, Congressional Style book in your Megaton House or in your Tenpenny Tower suite, not both. This subtracts one book.
  • The "Paradise Lost" book is also a Speech skill book. This adds one book.
• The skill book found in the Scrapyard requires the player to have the Contract Killer perk to be able to obtain it. This reduces the total number of standard Speech skill books available down to 24 for those that are not interested in choosing the perk.
