Some books have non-skill-bonus versions (Vernaccus and Bourlor and Chimarvamidium are a couple like this), make sure the book is worth between 50 and 75 gold. I've sometimes had a small bug happen where I wouldn't get the skill bumped up to the next level, just the exp bumped up to where 1 more exp would level it. This can be fixed by loading a previous save, manually leveling the skill, then reading the book, but it would be counted under the skill books read stat. Most likely, the problem is that you have already read the book at an earlier point in the playthru and forgot. Personally, I collect every skill book and place it on a bookshelf in Vlindril Hall (best library area, imo), I also have a checklist I wrote up and printed to keep track of what ones I have only read, and what ones I have both read and shelved.
