There are currently 14 quest locked books that are documented. Some have been noted for years.
True, but this lorebook is the ONLY one of those 14 that was made available not only during a quest that was active on the servers for just 7 days, but also the content paying ~50% of the active player base was also not eligible to do the quest even if they wanted find it. Basically, 90+% of all players will never have a shot to obtain this lorebook unless they add another source for it, because either they had the content pass or they missed the one week window to do the quest. Whereas with all the other quest-only lorebook bugs, everyone has a chance to get them during the quest if they are extremely carefully in their quest completion. That, in my mind, makes this bug far more egregious than the other ~13 on your list. Don't get me wrong, I want them all fixed.
I appreciate the work you have done to consolidate all the bugs in a single updated list. The ball is clearly in ZOS's court to fix everything you have listed or issue a statement as to the location/sourcing that is unknown to the players. They have NO EXCUSE to claim they don't have clear & concise player feedback identifying all the current lorebook issues.1 -

Oh I don't disagree, I was just airing my cynicism. It wasn't all that long ago that ZOS said they wouldn't keep putting in books without a post-quest location. I think that lasted 1 update.PC EU
Never get involved in a land war in Asia - it's one of the classic blunders!1 -

✭@ESO_player123 I've checked the two books, "Baron Sorick's Orders" and "Note in a Dead Man's Hand". These books are specifically read as part of the quest - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_Sower_Reaps
It may be that they changed it so that originally they were seperate. Can you double check you have done the quest please. There are two static books in the Barracks House that are just part of the scenery. The interactable books dont show until the quest is done and both are notes (look like pages) rather than covered books.Edited by Gabriel_H on December 3, 2025 10:07AMPC EU

@Gabriel_H Thanks, I will check. I finished the base game zones years ago, but tided up my Eidetic Collection more recently. May be a quest slipped through the cracks.1 -

Nothing in the patch notes, but that doesn't mean they weren't fixed. Will take a few days/weeks for people who come here to note any changes.PC EU

FYI: I checked on a new toon. Quest took me less than 5 minutes. So on a fully powered one, shouldn't take longPC EU

@Gabriel_H You were right. Somehow I missed this quest years ago. Problem solved.1 -
Walllessfury✭✭ugh I so wish the RNG would drop the 2 shelve books I need
the one from IC shelves year 2920 volume 20 and maldriths correctors of coldharbour.
is there a map of bookshelves in eastern solstice available?0 -
Tobyja✭✭✭✭✭maldriths correctors of coldharbour i found in in Calindvale Gardens public dungeon (room with Ux)
"Am Beginn einer jeden Katastrophe steht eine Vermutung."0 -
Tobyja✭✭✭✭✭Oh, and year 2920 volume 20 is also available outside bookshelves, in IC, Elven Gardens District.
The game (or an add-on) gave me some coordinates and it's still there...
