I believe skill books were mentioned in one of the design journals. My guess is that they will require skill in both scholarship and scribing. The wiki page http://chroniclesofelyria.gamepedia.com/Scribing has a link to a Q&A.

Writing books is a thing.
Skill books are also a thing. They are how you raise a skill from 0 to 1 so you can begin leveling it through use.
These books would be quite valuable. Given that everyone needs them to get whatever skills they need and want, it could become an industry equal to or even larger than, say, weapons and armour. The merchants would jump on the chance to secure the supply and distribute it throughout the world.
Long story short, if you write a skill book, it'd be very profitable to sell the pattern to the bigger merchant companies, unless you have the means to set up production and distribution yourself.
There will be books that will enable you "skilling up" in a certain profession or fighting but only up to a degree. For crafing I believe it was up to apprentice. Then you need to actually start crafting to advance.

Books don't have a hard cap. Just like teaching, the higher the skill the better teaching/book you will need. Although the requirement for book is higher than teaching making it rarer but not impossible to learn from a book past apprentice.
I don't know anymore.
Books are possible, and cartography is possible - cartography might be a subset of a drawing skill class, but I think it's more likely they'll go for separate skills for each. I'd say diagrams are in, though. Even if they're not, people will just be able to create books of "maps" with the pictures they want to draw as their maps.

I'd like to see your source on that. i have never seen anything that states anything remotely like that.
