Read the release thread on the Elder Scrolls forum HERE for more details.   More download sites will be added, and I will update as the links become available.

As Phoenix was putting the finishing touches on this much anticipated release she took time out to answer a few questions:

Guilded Lily:  What is the official name you are giving this mod?

Phoenix Amon:  Book Jackets: Oblivion (to distinguish it from my Morowind version and additions that I may do for the earlier TES books that have been added).

GL:  How much time do you think you put into this modding project, or would you rather not think about it?

PA:  Well I guessed when I was starting that it would take a little more than 3 months based on the time I'd spent on the Morrowind version and the added complexity of Oblivion's graphics. That turned out to be accurate. In terms of hours, I haven't a clue. :)

GL:  Were you surprised by the response to your mod on the Elder Scrolls forum while you were working on it as a work in progress?

PA:  Very. I didn't expect to get so many responses.

GL:  You have said that you wished you had waited to announce the mod on the forum until it was closer to completion, but do you think that the interest generated was helpful in providing encouragement for such an ambitious project?

PA:  Considering how long it took to complete the project, I think if I'd waited until it was half done to announce it there still would have been time for a lot of people to see the WIP threads. But I would have missed out on some great suggestions too, so I'm not sure which way would be better.

GL:  Now that the Oblivion Book Jacket Mod is complete, do you have any plans for additional mods, or will you be taking a break?

PA:  I do want to relax and play the game a bit. I've been asked to contribute books to a few mods in progress and to make covers for those Morrowind and Daggerfall books added by mods. For the Morrowind books, I want to try creating new meshes to fit my old textures rather than doing the textures again.

I am very happy to have this mod to add to my playing experience in Oblivion, and it represents an opportunity for a big increase in enjoyment based on a relatively small aspect of the original game design. Additionally, I will have the pleasure of seeing one of my original Celtic knotwork designs that Phoenix incorporated into the design of the Children of the Sky book cover included in the mod.

If you are playing Oblivion, you owe it to yourself to add this mod to your playing experience.  You will see why Ashley Chang, producer for Oblivion, had this to say about Phoenix Amon's Oblivion Book Jacket Mod:

"This is one of the most creative mods I've ever seen."

Thanks to Phoenix Amon for all the time and effort put into making this very creative mod -  it is sure to become one of the "must have" Oblivion mods available.
