Book Pages fill named collections in Phantom Blade Zero. They can be found along exploration routes, awarded through quests or bosses, or added to the Archives as the story begins. A collection can require several pages, so a single pickup does not necessarily complete its book.
Collections and listed page counts
The collection list below records the available named groups. Three totals remain unspecified, and the pickup table covers documented routes rather than a complete world map of every page.

Mystery of Transcension | 8 |
Investigating the Villagers' Belongings | 11 |
Wulin Tales | 17 |

The first three Order pages and the first three Reflections pages are already in the Archives after the prologue. Check the archive before searching the valley for those entries. The other routes below are concentrated in Weeping Creek Valley.

Quest documents and collection progress
Some documents also advance a quest. Four Fierce Axes uses a seven-file investigation sequence, while the book catalogue lists eight pages for The "Four Axes" Case Files. Follow the quest's requested documents rather than treating every page in the collection as an interchangeable handover item.
Festering Secret supplies Gu Lingran's Letter, while the later return to the valley opens the route to Xu Feng's Secret Letter. The Dread Axe and Hunter's Chain Sickle also open paths used by document routes, so a missing page may belong to a return visit rather than the first pass through an area.
Using the chapter route
Against the Flow covers the early valley and Outpost, while Steel and Steam continues through the archer camp, tower and waterfall. Use those routes together with the named Bell landmarks above. The book table lists pickup facts; it does not assign an unverified ending reward or combat bonus to completing a collection.
