Book Collecting

[Mr. Cherry]

I have a recent screenshot. Does anyone else bother to collect all the books? Turtle? Pinecones? What does a fully decorated tower look like? Thanks!

I think I have collected all of the books in the story line, but Im not sure, I will definitly collect them in freeroam as well, but I must say, carying one at the time is pain in the ass, it is shame that we can't place them into our backpack or something.

I'm collecting all the books too.

Collecting all the books seems too boring to achieve it.

About the books... Is it possible to get all the Richard Sturgeon books? Did'nt go for the books in storymode - because I wanted to focus on the story of the game. But I tried again in Freeroam mode. And cant find or get the last 4 books - I'm missing nr 3, 6, 8, and 9.. Can you only get them via the mainstory?

uh, what are you doing with the pinecones?

I collected all the books for fun in a recent playthrough. Problem is, your bookshelf looks like all the books will fit, but there's some sort of invisible wall of sorts keeping you from placing all of them. (I think 2 didn't fit in the end).

Haven't done this in the Free roam mode, as far as I know, certain ones may only be obtained from the main story (near the end in the bunker). There is also a "lending library" cache box that will get more books added to it at a certain point in the story. Not sure what day triggers this, but it's maybe around half way through? (for those who want to know: it's cache box 307).

For the Richard Sturgeon books:
#3 is located in cache box 308, the cover is ripped partially off
#6 is located in cache box 302, by Beartooth Point
#8 is located in a desk drawer in Two Forks Lookout, but it may bug out sometime after the lookout gets vandalized - have had this happen to me on one save game..
#9 is located in the bunker at the end, by the lawn chair

Not sure if you found #10 of the Sturgeon books, it's in a weird spot, and not very easy to pick up as a result (the prompt doesn't always appear).

Also, interested in how many people completed their lookout decorations by putting the Forrest Byrnes cutout back into his "rightful place"?

As far as the pinecones, you can always collect them and pile them up somewhere in the lookout. I like throwing them near the stove, or in the sink, personally.

Hope this helped!
