If the schoolteacher refuses a book, that means you don't have any books he wants. So you need to find some more books.

Raid Bowerstone South and Oakvale for a bunch of books, also the Heroe's Guild library, dorms, and the shelf in Maze's Quarters for the book Jack of Blades. In Knothole Glade get The Balverine Slayer, and in Bowerstone North get The Tailor's Tragedy. I think the only one missing from those places is Eyes of a Killer, I know I've had to buy that at Twinblade's Camp a few times. But those should give you all the books you need to complete the quest.

There are a lot of books like The Bloodline, Book of Spells, Hierarchy of Weapons, A Hero's Journey I II & III that you can't donate.

If you already have the said book, it should be in ur inventory... technically. Try searching through it thoroughly.

It's kinda weird because your books aren't among your Items. In the main menu, go to Logbook, inside you'll find a section called Books. It will list all of your books and you can read the description for each, though you can't actually "read" the entire book.

Reading your books

Go into Hero Status (on same screen as World Save etc) then Log Book and then Books. All the books you have (even if you have given them away to the teacher) are there to read.

Alright, so, this is one of the most difficult silver keys to get, as it is impossible to tell what you have turned in and what you haven't, and how many more you need.

This is probably the most frustrating thing in Fable:TLC there is.

So, to make things much simpler, i created a list listing all 25 of the books you need and where you can get them.


1. Creatures of Albion Vol.1 – Heroes’ Guild
2. Creatures of Albion Vol.2 - Heroes’ Guild
3. Creatures of Albion Vol.3 - Heroes’ Guild
4. The Other Land - Heroes’ Guild
5. Old Kingdom - Heroes’ Guild
6. Arena - Heroes’ Guild
7. A Love Story - Heroes’ Guild
8. Tales of Maxley - Heroes’ Guild
9. Tales of Twinblade - Heroes’ Guild
10. Jack of Blades - Heroes’ Guild
11. Dragons - Heroes’ Guild
12. Repentant Alchemist – Bowerstone SOUTH
13. Pale Balverine - Heroes’ Guild
14. Northern Wastes - Heroes’ Guild
15. Oakvale Raid – Oakvale
16. Trials of Aarkan – oakvale
17. The Guild of Zeroes – Bowerstone SOUTH
18. Balverine Slayer - Heroes’ Guild
19. Taylor's Tragedy – Bowerstone NORTH
20. Eyes of the Killer – Bowerstone SOUTH
21. How to make friends – Inside the Demon Door located at the Heroes’ Guild
22. The Sock Method – Oakvale
23. The Windbreaker Rule Book – Bowerstone SOUTH
24. You are not a bad person – Bowerstone SOUTH
25. The Ugly Guide – Oakvale


Heroes’ Guild – 14
Bowerstone South – 5
Oakvale – 4
Bowerstone North – 1
Inside a demon door at the Heroes’ Guild - 1



There are, of course, many overlaps, and several of these books can be bought at vendors throughout Albion. However, I tried to make it so that the earlier zones to obtain the books are listed, rather than the latter zones.
So, essentially, the towns snowspire village & knothole glade are essentially useless in your book hunt.

I would like to note as well that there is EXACTLY 25 books you can turn in, unlike what other people are claiming. There is no more than 25 books the teacher will accept. Otherwise, this quest would be a billion times easier.

So, if you feel like you've scoured these zones completely, and the teacher keeps telling you "Merrrrrrr, book of spells, I don't like this book!" like he did me, go through and double check them again. It turned out I forgot Bowerstone North (One book! Rawr!).

Hope this helps those avid book hunters out there like me.


Enjoy, and happy questing!

Edit: Thanks to MaxfireXSA for the list of books.
