PC Is there any point in the game stage where you're more likely to get a book from a bookshelf or stack?

I have been disappointed w/ the early lack of schematics and books in bookstores in A20 - I try to remember that we *will* run of paper in the future once shotgun turrets start going up but I sometimes I don't want to fill an inventory square w/ paper we don't need yet. I think that going fwd I'll channel a bit BUT I'l have the attitude that my guy really doesn't know what he's looking for yet and save bookstores/crypt archives for a bit later.

I agree with Roland here. There will always be more loot containers. As you progress you will find more bookshelves. There will be more locked chests. There will be more wall & gun safes. Eventually there will be a crackAbook POI you could reset numerous times at the trader. Just loot them as they come!

I recently watched a popular streamer not looting cars during the first few days because cars are valuable loot containers with higher gamestage. But there are hundreds or even thousands of cars on a map so why save for later? Doesn't "waiting" somehow rob fun and exciting moments of the early game?

I know this robs fun and exciting Viewing Moments of the early game. 

Most times I don't even loot the cars that much after the day 14. It's those first few crucial days when you need a mining helmet and knowing you can possibly loot one from a car that makes me look at every. single. one. I can find.
