correct. I just did the same thing...my partner has two characters...one working as craftsman and one working as scholar...while ive been putting time into outfitter. I bought my lvl 10 book twice and gave it to each of her two..and she bought me lvl 10 from both of hers...and voila...ive got the recipies necessary to make the tempers, cloth/leather, paper, and metal items I need for going from 10 to 20. Not sure if this will last much longer...maybe not even past the next major patch, but for now it is truly helpful.
