Judging from the pop-up text that shows when you put the cursor on DEF of a character, then read the dex book. The dexterity value shown in the pop-up text does not change.
Dex doesn't always change the def, because it only applies a multiplier. So if you have 15 dex you get a X 1.5 in def.
If you get to 16 in dex from 15 then your def may not change (dor instance if you have 2 def and 15 dex you get 3 def overall. With 16 dex you still get 3 def overall because the game rounds up)
Have you checked what is displayed as icon at the bottom of the info card?
I'm not sure how to find the info card. I'm looking at the pop-up text for DEF which shows how DEF is calculated. This text states the dexterity that is used in the calculation, and it doesn't change after using the book. I see that same thing for a strength book--the pop-up text which shows the calculation for attack value states the strength used and the strength does not change after using a strength book.
I usually make my Str and Dex 20 at start. I've found that the books will not increase those stats past 20. I was thinking 20 was some sort of cap.
when your mouse is over the ovjet, an info-card is displayed on the right of the screen. You should look at the bottom of that infocard.
I have checked the info card for the book of dexterity. In the bottom, for my supercombatant sovereign with 20 Dex, it tolds me that it will increase my movement by one.
