Background[]
A series of books/magazines about trading and barter written by an unknown jerky vendor from Junktown, California.[Non-game 1] The book was popular enough that issues could be found in the Capital Wasteland in 2277 and the Commonwealth and the Island in 2287.
Characteristics[]
The Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor series is a collection of books found throughout the wasteland. In a manner similar to the Wasteland Survival Guide, it is a post-War publication, and the covers are hand-illustrated with simple black ink brush strokes.
Effects[]
Each issue grants the player character a level of the Junktown Vendor perk, up to a maximum of 8, which decreases the prices of items bought from vendors by about 3% per level. By reading all issues, prices at dealers improve by a total of 24%.
