The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Skyrim Library, Vol. II: Man, Mer, and Beast

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Skyrim Library, Vol. II: Man, Mer, and Beast is a 232-page book published by Bethesda Softworks on March 15, 2016.
==Physical appearance==
The book has the same basic design as Volume 1 with the notable difference of the colour scheme which is reddish brown instead of darkish blue, even so it has the same faint yet still very elaborate grooved pattern. The title of the book is written in gold at the bottom of the front cover but is hidden by the small dust jacket—which also says the title, but it is in black, and the jacket is mostly silver, excluding an image of a red wax seal of the Imperial Dragon. The back cover contains yet another Imperial Dragon, but no other detail. The side of the book holds an Imperial Dragon, and the title of the book stylized in golden lettering: "The Skyrim® Library: Volume II - Man, Mer, and Beast."
==Contents==
The inside cover—front and back—holds a map of the province of Skyrim, the same one most commonly seen in-game. The next several pages include the copyright information and the Table of Contents —alongside which are two pieces of concept art, one of the Last Dragonborn facing down a bear and another one showing a white furred Werewolf—listing eighty-one chapters, as follows.
