    @ZOS_Kevin ... :'(

    Edit: I am going to shamelessly keep bumping this, unless you pin it of course. I don't plan on going anywhere so this list will be maintained for the forseeable future, and is a valuable resource for both ZOS and us.

    Well, since you are adamantly positioning yourself as the highest authority on what is and isn't a bug, and what is and isn't related to the Eidetic Memory, I guess I'm going to be forced to create YET ANOTHER thread that is "not a duplicate" to list books which are found in-game but do not have Eidetic Memory entries so there is a list for ZoS to use as a resource.

    🤷🏻‍♂️

    We obviously all have ideas of what the forums should and shouldn't include. This often causes disagreements.

    Can I suggest the UESP Wiki pages be a platform to support this endeavour?

    If we make a property on each book to categorise its availability, we can still discuss on the forums, but using UESP, we can filter the list by tag.

    I'll make a start at a new page with both included lists that have been provided from both MreeBiPolar and Gabriel_H, and lets see how we go from there.

    The main page currently sits here, so I will add a new heading as "Known Issues". This will cover both and that with have multiple subheadings.

    So I've made a start and added in a few headings. If you guys can support with the adding of information, hopefully we'll be able to better bring attention to ZOS in a more organised manner where they can help us all.

    You get ZOS don't need that as a resource. They know how many readable's there are, and they know what is in EM. Where as with books in EM that cannot be collected for whatever reason requires players flagging them.

    Good Luck.

    I have now finished putting the page together. At least now it hyperlinks through for additional information whereas we cannot do that on the forums. :smile:

    It's very helpful to players, but ZOS don't read the wiki. If you want them to notice, its either the bug forum or raising tickets.

    I am having troubles with Crow and Raven: Three Short Fables under Tales of Tamriel.
    I have the Shalidor's library version.

    I went in the Evermore Inn location, like wiki suggested, but it wasn't registered as read.
    Do I have to find it in bookshelves or it's bugged?

    It's not down on the bugged list: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Lorebooks_Known_Issues

    Does it work if you go to any of the other locations?

    Bangkorai:
    - Inside Anchor's Point Inn, Evermore (where you said)
    - Sacred Springs

    Clockwork City:
    - On the lower level of the Mechanical Fundament

    Cyrodiil:
    - Second floor of the estate at Shurgak Clan Estate

    Reaper's March:
    - Crescent River Camp
    - Thormar

    Coldharbour:
    - Bookshelves

    Others locations are for the Shalidor's Library version, so its not there for me anymore.

    It should show as read in both. Unlocking it in SL should mark it as read in EM. I'll add it to the list, but try Coldharbour and see if it marks it as read if reading from a bookshelf - will help ascertain the reach of the bug.

    An oddity to be sure. I've kept it on the list, but it definitely seems bugged. Glad you got it though.

    Yeah, Dread Lady's Letter. This problem once was fixed, but appeared again 1 or 2 patches later.
    The locations mentioned at UESP are not longer valid. They once were (tested it), but no more (can't find them there again).
    Both:
    Dread Lady's Letter (Mysteries and Clues)
    Dread Lady's Letter (Daedric Cults)

    @ZOS_Kevin is there an update regarding "Dread Lady's Letter, Daedric Cults"?

    The new thread is a great idea. It lets us track easier what is and is not bugged, since the OP of the original has not been online for years.

    Appreciate the compliment. I'm not planning on going anywhere any time soon either, so I can maintain this. Would be nice for some ZOS feedback. A thread always loves a @ZOS_Kevin comment.

    Have any of these been fixed with the u47 pts cycle? I have not personally been able to check but I know I and my friends have a few of these bugged and are waiting for an update. It isn't directly in the notes but some of the lorebook fixes are omitted.

    I've not seen anything in the patch notes, nor anyone posting about them being fixed; and I've not had time to re-check any locations. So maybe, maybe not. I think we'll just have to wait for live and a larger player base to flag now fixed books.

    Seems there is another one, Aldimion's Journal from The Five Companions.
    Have checked the Dominion Harborage (should be post quest location according to UESP), it's not there.

    Edit: and the original place of finding (The Worm's Retreat) is no more accessible.

    Jewelry Crafting Surveys:
    Jewelry Crafting Survey: Wrothgar I

    This lorebook is listed twice in this EM section. After reading the appropriate survey, it only marks one of the two entries as read and leaves the other still as unknown. Unless the second "Wrothgar I" is a typo and should actually be for somewhere else, this entry should be deleted and the section should only have 25 total entries, not 26.

    Mine is showing I, II & III. Are you on the English client? (If not could be an error in the locale string)

    I'm on XBox NA. Here are two screenshots that clearly show duplicate entries for "Jewelry Crafting Survey: Wrothgar I".

    An account with "Wrothgar I" learned. Shows one learned entry and one unlearned entry:

    An account with "Wrothgar I" not learned. Shows two unlearned entries:

    Yours also shows xx/26 - on PC EU it's xx/25

    Odd duplication, may be server or platform specific. Will add it too the list.

    Perhaps ZoS fixed it in U47, but I'm still on U46 for few more days. I didn't see any note about it in the PC's U47 patch notes.

    There are a few undocumented changes. Would you be so kind as to update me once U47 hits?
