The Ruined Book is a misc item in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
This book cannot be read like some other books. You just pick it up and add it to your inventory.
You can use this to make Spell Tomes at a Atronach Forge.
These books can be found in various dungeons across Skyrim. A bunch of these can be found in the Temple of Miraak in Skyrim Dragonborn
