You can use the recipe as long as your stats are high enough and you have the book nearby. Every time you make a recipe there is a change that you will memorize it, meaning you no longer need to have the book nearby.

You can also just read the book anyway. It’s a bit wasteful of time, but if you’re laying about in bed (say, waiting for a broken limb to set or something), it’s a great way to pass the time.

skillbooks usually aren’t a good read, especially the yellow ones. Gives you nothing or sometimes even negative morale. He should probably use a holy book or a magazine or something like this for bedtime stories.

This is no longer the case, you don’t memorize recipes from reading books anymore.
