It is all a bit silly. I mean, you get a schematic for the Dog Tag Fist, but you don't "forget" it once you make one. I guess it would make sense if the "recipe" is all the info from the book, and you paste it into the pages of the Blank Book to create it. Then, when you use the skill book, it goes wherever the other skill books go when you use it (presumably you eat it, to prevent others gaining its knowledge).
Personally I'd rather have seen a method of creating magazines that was repeatable. Granted I'm a hoarder, so I almost never use mags anyway, but it feels more useful having a reusable recipe than a one-shot. Also, most of my skills are maxed at lvl40 so even mags don't do much, but I wouldn't say no to a limitless supply of True Police Stories :vaultboy:
Incidentally, since it takes 25 Blank Books to make one skill book, each book can only be made once and there are 14 skills, you'll never need to have the Book Chute create more than 350 Blank Books. Bit of a shame that there's nothing to do with the excess and they essentially become just another junk item.
