Research Book not working

[hozz1235]

My rifle skill is around 4.2.  I just found a "Frontier Shooting Guide" and when I attempt to read it, it says, "Your skills are too advanced for this research item."  I thought we could use the book all the way up to skill lvl 5?

Seems not, I have come across the same message multiple times, seems you can only use books to gain skills x amount. after that you need to gain your own. Which sort of makes sense. The information provided maybe not

Yeah, frontier guide is a “basic” shooting book. For the rifle firearms skill there’s another book, called “Guns Guns Guns!”. This book gives you more skill points, and is used to further your skill after a certain point (which you’ve obviously hit). It is very rare though, so you may need first hand experience (ie actually shooting things) to increase your skill until (or if) you find the book
