    Right. So, to summarize for anyone looking to do future bugfixes:

    The following books, as of 9 August 2023, are in quest-only locations that you cannot re-enter unless grouped with a person who is at the correct quest stage - 1 from "Firesong", 2 from "Necrom":

    (Archipelago Books and Almanacs)
    Arnoit and Lisette: The Truth (Castle Mornard Library, Vastyr, Galen)

    (Apocryphal Pages)
    Chronicle of Apocrypha (Cipher's Hall, Cipher's Midden, Apocrypha)
    Cipher Akacirn's Journal (Cipher Akacirn's Study, Quires Wind (delve), Apocrypha)

    (It is possible, but annoying, to get these books by grouping up with someone who is in the same, very brief quest stage, since the relevant areas all open and then close within the course of the same quest. In the case of "Necrom", the relevant areas could productively remain open after the quest: in the case of Castle Mornard Library in Galen, this could also be done, OR the book could be added to Random Bookshelves in Galen, or both.)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And the following books, as of 9 August 2023, all six from "Necrom", are currently not appearing at all in the game anywhere:

    (Telvanni Tomes):
    Closed By Order of the Abbot
    Communications Between Nilphas and Thoryn
    Survey of the Alavelis Mine

    (Apocryphal Pages)
    Ilasaba's Excuses
    Onri Murien's Hidden Wishes
    Zeirinia's Silent Admission

    For anyone looking to do future bugfixes: since most of these locations are still accessible if you group up with someone post-quest, and nothing bad happens, looks like the better option would be to just have them freely accessible post-quest.

    Not really, just happened to coincide with nearly giving up on finding someone online and trying here!

    Hi, i play the german version (PC EU) and saw this book today in a bookshelf in the town hall/east of Velyn Harbor/Malabal Tor.
    In the small one straight in the middle.

    Don't know if all shelfs changes their content or when. But you should be able to find it.
    Good luck.

    Updated multiple issues with books in the zone not being in the proper collection, being unobtainable, or otherwise having visual issues.

    ... And the hunt is on.

    After the U39 patch, my Apocryphal pages collection is cut by 6 books.
    Before, I only needed 3 books, now I'm missing 9. And I'm sure that the books that are now missing I had already known, such as "The Never-Woven" during the Azandar quests.
    I do not know if these books are still available

    6 books went from the Telvanni Tomes section into the Apocryphal Pages section.

    I got 4 additional unread books, two of which were read previously (The Never-Woven and Song of Fate), but at least two others just weren't on the list before (I keep a list of all of them, and I didn't do the associated quests yet):

    The Never-Woven
    Song of Fate
    (N) The Curse of Blackscale Island
    (N) Uluscant's Manifesto

    Edit: Checking the locations online, looks like all of other three are from The Disquiet Study delve.

    If you already did the quests, now The Never-Woven and The Curse of Blackscale Island are no more available, so now our list of bugged books is incremented. Compliments, ZOS

    Could someone check if The Year of 2920 vol 21 is still in Tal'Deic Keep, in Deshan? I can't see it, and I don't know if it's bugged just for me or if I simply missed it...

    Edit: nvm found it!

    Hi! Thanks for reaching out. It’s funny because these are the first one so always go to in Velyn Harbor and I never get anything but I shall keep trying thank you so much for the clarification that it indeed does show :)

    Found "Uluscant's Manifesto" in The Disquiet Study".

    Since U39 three lore books were removed from my Eidetic Memory Collection, being part of the zone quest "Fate's Lost Dream":

    - How Rahjin stole the Book that Knows
    - Herma-Mora: The Woodland Man?
    - Uluscant's Manifesto

    I am positive that those were in my collection before the update, you find them while collecting the three tears for Scruut to open the next portal. Each book is directly next to one of each tears.

    Now, as posted above, I just rediscovered "Uluscant's Manifesto" in The Disquiet Study Delve.
    I wonder if the other two now appear someplace else in the world, not connected to their quest.

    The book "Journal of Justiciar Avanaire" is not appearing for my character (created at launch, 2014) but appears, and is even able to be interacted with on newer toons created more recently, possibly after it was fixed.

    I don't know if it's a bug for just my toon, or characters created before a certain time, but I wanted to bring it up in case it helps the devs.

    @ZOS_Kevin would you be able to pass this on directly to the team that fixes the bugged books?

    The tranquil catalogue can be entered post quest by grouping with a player on that quest step, so you can go back and get "how Rhajiin stole the book who knows", and the other two mentioned above.

    The only one I have not found from the books that were relocated is "the curse of the blackscale" Not sure where they moved it to.

    Other than that, the seven bugged Necrom books have not been found yet, and hopefully someone else might have seen them.
