Really would like to know what are the plans for the book store or places with books like poopy pants day care since that was a go to for books if the town had no crack a book. Now that traders sell mods i see less reason to go into these places.

They won't really be needed for paper either if you find a paper mill. The paper mills have 1000s of paper in them by destroying the rolls on the first floor.

 
It depends. Sometimes there's that 1 mod that's been evading you... or me for that matter. Because of that, I'd still religiously search these pois just to get my hands on em.

Bandolier for example :D

 
I think magazines need a buff. So you get a magazine and it gives you 1 point in a skill and stat for 30 minutes? That is ok. Now if they gave an xp boost or some xp when read, that would balance things out again.

Outside a few intelligence mags, and the Olympic swimmer mag for the water airdrops, most magazines are meh. The only reason to search bookshelves is for mod blueprints.

 
Options are good - you can either make mods, find mods, or trade for them.

There's no more guarantee that a given trader will sell a mod you want than there is you'll find it or a schematic thru looting, so isn't it nice to have more than one way to get lucky?

I disagree on the magazines. They don't need to be unbalanced and stupidly rewarding. Sell the ones you don't want to a trader. You can use some of them to buff a skill and craft stuff early, which is pretty powerful already. Buffing a good skill for 30 minutes is already pretty solid.

 
I like the idea of much longer lasting magazine buffs. Fewer magazines to offset that is fine.

To reference the question in the title of the thread...

no, not even close.

Bookstores are a hugely helpful mid-late game POI...the schematics available in them are invaluable once you can start crafting them.

I actively seek out bookstores in all my A17 games, either to save and craft the schematics myself in SP, or haul them over to our crafter in MP.
