There's only a few stat enhancing tomes. ie you can legally add one strength permanently to your PC if you find the strengyh tome. My human fighter started life with a strength of 18 but finished (and was imported to BG2) with a legal strength of 19. Same applies for dexterity, wisdom etc. I think Nanobyte meant the max' legally available stats after using the available tomes as opposed to maxing the stats to 25 period.
