HELP

This might be super late, but just in case - you need to complete a set of puzzles to reveal riddles that lead to the next challenge. The book puzzle is the second-to-last puzzle (if i remember correctly). There's no one way to explore Croft Manor, but some of the Puzzles have to be done in a certain order as they activate the next puzzle. And some puzzles require certain tools (pistols, grapple, etc) to be able to complete them.

Here's a quick guide to help, if necessary:
I hope this helps! Or if you've already figured it out, maybe it'll help someone else =D


SPOILERS BELOW!!




Library - Shoot the alcove by the door and pull-out the rolling bookcase. Push it onto the depression by Alistair, then use the grapple to to pull down the shelf near the base of the stairs to release the other bookshelf, and push that onto the next depression.

Tunnel - This opens a tunnel between the Library and Lara's Room, and in the tunnel there is a golden face with its tongue sticking out. Press the tongue to reveal an inscription and press interact so Lara can read it (she has to read it for it to activate the next puzzle).

Pool - Across the entrance to the pool is a balcony; find your way up there and turn the the two statues to face each other so their spears cross (as shown by the tiles on the floor) to reveal another golden face - press the tongue. Then, as the riddle explained, turn the two statues so they're facing away from each other to reveal another inscription. Again, Lara has to read it to activate the next part.

Library (again) - Now you can interact with the books. They've popped out and Lara has to push them back in (in the correct order as stated in the riddle) to open a hidden alcove.
