Question about ESO books

SirBalin

So, I've never been one to read quest's and pay attention to lore in game...I just want to advance the levels and pvp.  However, I'm loving this game and I'd love to read the lore from the beginning.  Is there a actually set of novels or books that someone can buy somewhere that start off at the beginning of ESO time all the way through skyrum or where ever it ends?  I'd love to read those.

No I don't think there is, they have a Loremaster (yes that is his job title apparently) who with a team of people creates the books for each game release in a manner consistent with previous releases.  Here is an article about what he did for this game http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-04/04/loremaster-eso

You don't by chance have the links for all of the games in this series do you?

I don''t want to spoil anything, but eventually every book you have opened in the game will be available for you to read at your leisure in game.

Sorry must have missed your post. It looks like there have been a few posts about good sources of information on the lore.

To answer your question regarding the previous games in the Elder Scrolls series they are all listed and described on Wikipedia, link for the series of games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Scrolls

There is also the excellent Wikia site for a vast body of ES background info:

All the games in the series are covered there in depth.
