I've just updated the OP with a 4th retexture and also tweaked the other ones a little bit more (nothing major, just a few pixels here and there. This mesh is driving me nuts -- everything that fits on one side comes off on the other side and vice versa. And wtf is up with the err .. tops warped around the outside of the covers in the upper row?).

The new texture is probably best suited for very single-minded fortune sims, or perhaps for an office environment. Screenshot below =) you'll need to redownload the whole thing if you want only that, I've included it in the zips.

Oh Yay! *Throws Confetti* This is so, so..erm, fabulous. Thank you for making an item that I always cringed at into something I will look forward to using. And Simlish...can't get enough of that in my game either.

Stewie (after tripping Peter): Ha ha ha, oh my God! I almost didn't do it, I almost didn't do it! I thought, is this in bad taste? But you know what, I went for it. I went for it and I'm so glad I did! Ooooh, worth it, totally worth it.

Wonderful, I always thought the old books were washed out and dull too. These are a great alternative. I only wish I could use them for all my bookcases!

Great! Looks like it was meant to look. Why doesn´t an ingenius creation like this replace all the imperfection of how it was before?
Thank you very much!
