Do you need them all in one playthrough or does it carry over into NG+?

It carries over. I got the 2 I was missing in my second playthrough.

Not to bad of a achievement to do, I personally did all the collectables on my first playthrough. Here is a link to the video I used Credit goes to PowerPyx who always does a great job. Also I can confirm that if you miss any of the files your first time then everything you did read will carry over to the next game, and it does not have to be on the same save game. Once you complete the game if you go into the challenges and find this achievement listed it will tell you how many you have counted and how many you have missed.

Edited:@FrankCastle492 You can open your map, go to journal, down to files, and press Y, then cross check the ones you have with the ones you need.

Do they have a method to check which files you're missing in the game like they did in RE3?

No. You have to find the one's you missed with no clue as to which except what you can remember.

Correct, although once you complete the game if you go into the challenges and find this achievement listed it will tell you how many you have counted and how many you have missed. But unfortunately you really just have to play back through the game until the achievement pops.

I played this without a guide, and I managed to get them all except the fridge memo too. LOL. I'll pick it up at the start of my next playthrough and hopefully this will unlock.

I’m guessing this can be glitched. I had all the files but the achievement didn’t pop until my second play through and it randomly popped while playing.

I wonder if it matters that when I read a document whether I flip through each page or not.

It unlocked fine for me after looking through the list to find what I was missing. I was missing one file, the one right as you enter Dimitrescu's Castle titled Guest Book. I know for a fact that I read that one before, but I guess it must not have registered for some reason so I was left at 46/47. After I got to that point again though and read it it unlocked. Also if it helps anybody, although there are 47 files when you're looking at the files in your journal there should be 48 pages.

This video is a guide to help you get the bookworm achievement in Resident Evil Village.
The video will take you through one of the collectables inside of the game which are the files that you need to inspect and read throughout your time playing. You need to find and inspect all 47 files in order to get the "Bookworm" achievement. This video shows you the order that you can find them and the location of each of the files and where you can find them in the game.

Here is a guide from Gamerant with all the file locations. If you are like me and ended the game with only 2 files missing you might be missing the same as me. In the very beginning of the game there is a note on the fridge and after you leave the castle head back to the church and read the laptop in there. Those were the two I missed after two through playthroughs.

There are a total of 47 documents in the game. I would like to note that if you want to get the first playthrough, you cannot return to the PROLOGUE and Dimetrescu Castle. If you missed something, don’t worry, after completing it a special menu will open where you can see what you missed. Unlike windows and toilets, documents do not need to be collected in one playthrough.

The trophy has been fixed and now it is not necessary to collect documents in one playthrough. You can collect the remaining ones in other walkthroughs

Save at the end of each new location, then check the list of found documents with the text guide (ru) and collect the missing ones by loading suitable saves.

There are only 48 documents in the game, one is easy to miss, it will be found during the second entry into the village after Dimetrescu Castle, you will need to go to the church again, a laptop with files will appear there... I myself thought that the trophy was buggy, until the second I didn't look there during my walkthrough...

There are several types of collectibles in Resident Evil Village:
- files containing details of the game world (47 pcs)
- weapons (the video shows only those types of weapons that need to be found. The remaining types are purchased from the Duke)
- goat amulets (20 pcs)
- weapon upgrades (the video shows only those weapon upgrades that need to be found. The rest can be purchased from the Duke)

There is a lot of backtracking in the game, however, I recommend collecting everything at the first opportunity.

Video guide (ru) with a collection of everything.
