Each profession has an elite and non-elite skill tome that allows the character who reads it to learn a skill for that profession that they have already unlocked elsewhere for the account. Skill tomes can stack with others of the same type and profession. It does not cost a skill point to learn a skill using a skill tome.
Skill tomes can only be used while in a town or outpost, not while in an explorable area.

[edit] Skill tome
A non-elite skill tome can be used to learn any one non-elite skill associated with that tome's correlated profession if that skill is unlocked on your account. These are named after their profession, so a tome for a monk skill is named a "Monk Tome".

[edit] Elite skill tome
An elite skill tome can be used to learn any one elite skill associated with that tome's correlated profession if that skill is unlocked on your account. Where standard skill tomes can be dropped as loot from any hard mode foe of the appropriate profession, up to two elite skill tomes can drop from locked chests or as loot from hard mode boss creatures of the appropriate profession. Learning an elite skill through a skill tome adds a point to the Skill Hunter title for the character that reads it. These are named after their profession, so an elite tome for a dervish skill is named an "Elite Dervish Tome". Like regular skill tomes, it doesn't consume or use an earned skill point.

[edit] Notes
- It rarely happens that one can get two tomes (either regular or elite tome) of the same profession from one Locked Chest.
