You can never have too many books, I always say.
— Samuel

The Pen is Mightier... is a quest in Fable III that is given by Samuel in Brightwall.

Completing this quest unlocks the achievement Brightwall Book Club. There are 30 rare books in total.

To view all locations of all the Rare Books, see Rare Book Locations.

Description[]

Samuel, the librarian in Brightwall, needs your help recovering rare books which have been scattered across Albion and beyond. Return to Samuel to give him any books you find.

Conclusion[]

  • The Book of Mysteries: You found 'The Book of Mysteries'. Not that mysterious after all, but the title does draw one in.
  • The Invocation of the Watchers: You have collected 'The Invocation of the Watchers', a very rare and important book. Academics everywhere will thank you. Then they will be torn apart by demons.
  • The Pangs of Sunset: Excellent work! You've found 'The Pangs of Sunset', a book which... really says more about its author than its subject. And it frankly says way too much about both.
  • Reaver on Reaver: Well done, you got hold of a copy of Reaver's autobiography in difficult circumstances. But did you keep a copy for yourself?
  • The Book of Doom: Congratulations, you found 'The Book of Doom'! That's amazing. And you read it. That wasn't so smart, but still.
