Add a book to a tab
The books are not items per se, but codex that can be represented as items. They are defined in his own .codex file-type, and they have his own unique ID that define them. To make a patch, you only need to use that ID.

The patch, will be in the next form:

[ { "op": "add", "path": "/storeInventory/<category>/-", "value": "<id>-codex" } ]
Were <id> is the unique ID of the codex that you want as a book, and <category> is the tab in wich you want the book to appear. In the base mod, you have three categories, novels, manuals and history, but other mod could add his own tabs.

No, that's the idea of the mod. You could add a patch to put a book in the bookstore, even if the bookstore isn't installed.

I don't think this is working, I'm making a mod that ADDS new Codexes to the game, and when I use the item ID, it isn't showing up in the shop. I've checked everything. Please help!

Hi! Sorry for take to long for respond, I've been a little busy lately. Your patch seems well.

Can you try editing the .metadata file of your mod and add "bookstore" to "includes :"?

Maybe your mod is loading before mine, so it try to apply a patch to a file that is not there yet.
