So, the in-game literature that usually by the second opening we skip through as fast as possible in order to proceed with the hacking and slashing? Well, Oblivion has that type of stuff, everywhere!

It has more in-game literature than you could possibly imagine, from compendiums on monsters, to literary accounts by bards of particular religious movements in their local town.

What better way to celebrate these remarkable writing feats... then to print them in a leather bound book, completely unabridged and in color!

That's what reddit user 'notadoctoreither' did and he has posted up snapshots for everyone on the Internet to admire (and be scared of!)

He includes Cyrodiil, from The Biography of Barenziah (all three volumes)  as well as The Lusty Argonian Maid, classics we have all read, to be sure!

The amount of in game literature in Oblivion was astounding anyway, but to come across it in the real world, beautifully put in to custom print and leather cover, it's a remarkable achievement (when you take the 'wow that's a bit scary' feeling out of your thinking).

Oblivion was released in March 2006, so presumably 'notadoctor' has been compiling this tome the whole time ("Look at the size of that thing").

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is out on November 11, so the challenge is out there for gamers around the world to repeat this weighty achievement.

Congrats 'notadoctoreither', you're officially the most dedicated gamer around this week!
