1. Introduction
This article was written under Lost Eidolons Ver1.5.4.R29.eb474865.

I am happy to make any corrections if more accurate information is discovered. If you have any comments, you can either post here or post on my HIVE blog version of this guide.

All of the screenshots in this post were taken by me.



During the camp phases of Lost Eidolons, there are various shining points of interest that can be read and are organized under "Books" in your Storage section. While a handful of these items are used to complete sidequests or prestige quests, the vast majority of them do not provide a gameplay benefit and are only there to provide narrative flavor.

These easter eggs can easily be missed since sometimes they are found in non-obvious locations around camp. None of the existing Steam guides seem to catalog their locations, so I thought I would contribute by compiling a comprehensive list.

Note that this is a work in progress and it is quite possible I have missed some! Also please keep in mind that it is possible for some books to be available in multiple locations.
2. Location List (Chapters 1-22)
Locations with an *** may be easily missed. Take a look at the screenshots section at the end if you are having trouble finding them.
