How to unlock the Master Librarian achievement in The Wolf Among Us - Definitive Guide
First in chapter 2 you are at Beauty and Beast's apartment. They will ask if you are going to the Lucky Pawn Shop or the Butcher Shop. Select the Lucky Pawn Shop and go there first.
At the start of chapter 3 you will be in the pawn shop. Go through the conversation between toad and jack about the donkey skin coat. After that the first fable entry will unlock.
You will talk to jack a little bit then the option to tell him "that you want to look around" will come up. Select that, then walk over to the pin cushion to the right and select it with . Your second fable entry will unlock.
At the end of chapter 4, the third fable entry unlocks when you finish talking to Johann the butcher at the butcher shop.
If you do it in this order all fable entries will unlock. The achievement will unlock when you meet the crooked man in chapter 5.
When you go visit Beauty and beast at their apartment as your leaving you will be set with two choices you can either visit the butchers or the pawn shop first, you need to choose the pawn shop or else you will miss two fables and have to restart.
When you get to the pawn shop the first fable is story related and will unlock as you are talking to Jack, but the second fable you need to tell jack that you want to look around for a little bit. Now when you’re walking around the shop investigate the pin cushion which will give you the last miss-able fable.
All of the rest of the fables you will pick up naturally playing through the episode and your achievement will unlock in chapter 5.
If you get stuck on anything or want to see where all of the fables are I have included a video below with all of the locations in this episode.
Missable Book of Fable Location #1:
Mid-way through Episode 4. When you have the choice between visiting two different locations, going to the Butcher Shop or the Lucky Pawn Shop! Going to either location first will unlock a Book of Fables entry. Just follow the dialog and you will unlock the second missing Book of Fables.
Missable Book of Fable Location #2:
When you go to the Lucky Pawn Shop first, you’ll need to talk to Jack and make sure you can get a look around. When you do look around check the needles from Rose that will unlock the second missing Book of Fable entry.
Make sure not to look at the the space on the counter where the Woodmans axe was before looking at the pin cushion (needles from Rose) otherwise it will kick off the cut scene and you'll have to replay. The Axe is at the front on the far left, the pin cushion is in the right hand side cabinet.

Asturgis has written an amazing guide for collecting all of the Fables HERE. Following this guide will guarantee you get all the Fables in one playthrough without having to replay any chapters.
*MISSABLE*
Book of Fables entries can be unlocked via natural story progression while at other times, though not all too frequently, for making specific decisions during a crucial moment in an Episode’s Chapter. In Episode 4, there are a total of 12 entries to be collected.
All but two of these entries are obtained through story progression, so go ahead and check out the list below for those that are considered “missable.”
Donkeyskin Coat
- Unlocked if you choose to go to The Lucky Pawn first at the end of Chapter 2. Once you arrive, you will see Toad trying to sell Faith’s coat to Jack. Choose Option B – “Isn’t that Faith’s coat?” to unlock this entry. Take note that if you go to the Butcher Shop first, you will miss this entry since Toad will not be there when you arrive.
Briar Rose
- Unlocked if you choose to go to The Lucky Pawn first at the end of Chapter 2. After Toad leaves and Bigby tells Jack that he’s going to take a look around, head on over to the display case on the right side of the store and investigate the pin cushion to unlock this entry.
Though this may not be entirely missable during Chapter 5, just make sure to be nice to Tiny Tim in order to unlock his entry. In other words, choose to be understanding of his role in working for The Crooked Man and then tell him that while performing a job is great, he should really look for another one. After all this, Bigby will march ahead impatiently. Choose to wait for Tiny Tim and you will unlock his entry!
Once all 12 Book of Fable entries in Episode 4 have been collected, this achievement will unlock.
