 * You get access to the books in your library when you are docked - Try the '''F4''' interface and look towards the end of the list under '''Ship Systems'''. Note that your library does not give you comparisons of Spacecraft & Orbital Stations - for that you need '''View Ship Specifications''', which is called the ''Ship Library'' when you are inside it!
