Dude I am struggling with these books too HAHAHA
Scholar is just so good I simply must find them all... No clue on Rocker or the Kugane book either. They are frustratingly close but so far!

Found Rocker. Seaside cliffs, The one who gives you like 3-4 clamshells. at the past the camp.

Ah yes the one far to the east of the encampment in seaside cliffs. Good catch!

Kugane's... five tiles away and two steps up/down from the cheap innkeeper, in some... direction (can never remember which direction the coordinates in crystal edit actually go), checking. It's lying on the ground, been a bit but I vaguely remember it being behind something? That one (and the tall tall heights/blacksmith one) gave me fits, too.

My strongest suggestion is to just turn on coordinate display for the map and crack open crystal edit. All the ones on the ground are "LibraryBook" npcs. The "under a tree" (which tree? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) one is also a pain in the hindquarters.

Gimme a minute and I'll write up a full spoiler for it.

Edit: Okay, here you go, at least at this point in time:

#A014: Lord of Vermilion
The summoner quest nan has this.

#C120: Dungeon Encounters
Capital NPC named Morton, paladin patrolling around on the east side, passes by the exit to tycoon hills.

#B089: Blood of Bahamut
Clam hating black mage looking critter off on the east side of the seaside cliffs.

#E099: Front Mission
Tycoon hills, thief looking critter outside the quintar nest entrance.

#F230: Racing Lagoon
Buy it from one of the thunder plains quintar shops, one of the ones outside of the shrine. You need the babel for this.

#G001: Hanjuku Hero
Cheap kugane inn, behind the wall two squares up and five squares west of the innkeeper.

#H201: Brave Fencer Musashi
It's under the big tree just to the northeast, at the bottom of the cliff right besides the triton shrine in gagazet heights. Little tree just to the north east, big tree on level below to the right of that, book under big tree. You can get a clue about it in the shop up the cliff to the west of the shrine.

#I333: Wonder Project J
Abusive mother with the lost kid in Sara Sara Bazaar, right side entrance from the desert.

#J453: Chaos Rings
Sitting in a (south wing, iirc) cell in the capital gaol.

#K175: The 7th Saga
Talk to the Nu outside the labyrinth, it's inside the tent to their east.

Hope that helps, heh.

I think i broke my game with another mod. The tent you are referring to is the one in the abandoned camp right? All I got there was a chest with the blood of heroes... i guess that's what I get for using expanded equipment. Oh well, perhaps in another run.

Yeah, it should be. I'm running EE, too, and found the book without trouble even before it was supposed to be patched, heh.

... does occur it might be a difference in mod order, iirc the load order matters somehow or another. Should be fixed regardless, at this point, but did you happen to have EE loaded before FF?

The book isn't in any kind of chest, so load order shouldn't matter.
I verified you're able to reach the book now even with EE installed. It sounds to me like you might have turned in that book, and are missing a different book. Can you check Fowlinaud to see?

I just looked. I posted my problem at 8:12 AM. before the update at 1:04 PM, Now I can get it. thank you.

Edit: to answer Jack, Maybe I just missed the spot? I don't know. it never happened for me until the patch.
