Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor is a skill book in Fallout 3.

Background[]

The following section is transcluded from Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor. To modify, please edit the source page.

A pre-War pulp science-fiction book focused on the adventures of an itinerant meat trader from a fictional (at the time) settlement of Junktown, the book contains a surprising amount of insight into trade. Anyone who reads it will surely benefit from the contents.^[1] By 2287, the book has been remade, albeit in a cruder, more hand-drawn, format, detailing many illegitimate, but possibly necessary, means of conducting business in areas like the Commonwealth.

Characteristics[]

Reading this book permanently increases your Barter skill by 1 (2 with Comprehension).

↑ While the title may suggest otherwise, the book is commonly found in sealed areas (Vault 92, National Guard depot) where it could not conceivably be placed by wastelanders. The standard of quality, as well as presence of the book in the pre-War slideshow in the menu are also clues hinting at the pre-War origin of the book.
