- Iliad by Homer, found near the Valens Aqueduct.
- The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, found near the Rose Mosque.
- The Flute Girl by Menander, found near the Myrelaion Church.
Dialogue
After purchasing and finding all available books, Ezio returned to the Galata headquarters and was surprised to receive a visit from Sofia Sartor.
- Sofia: Hello!
- Ezio: Eh?
- Sofia: Ezio, you old snake! You walked right past me.
- Ezio: Forgive me, Sofia. I did not notice. What are you doing in Galata?
- Sofia: Making some deliveries. Is this where you stay?
- Ezio: Ah, sì (yes). It is a kind of... school.
- Sofia: What is taught here?
- Ezio: Come this way. I want to show you something. I have been stocking the library here with rare books. A good start, no?
- Sofia: Ah! These are all so beautiful. And such diversity. So, are these men and women YOUR students?
- Ezio: In a way, yes.
- Sofia: Well, if they ever need a literature scholar, give them my name. In a pinch, I am a pretty good teacher.
- Ezio: If they find the time to read, I certainly will.
- Sofia: Oh! Chaucer! Bellissimo. (Very nice.)

Trivia
- Book shops and books replaced the functions of art merchants and paintings from Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
- The achievement "Sage" could be earned by obtaining every book available in Constantinople and Cappadocia.
- The volume retrieved by Ezio during Signs and Symbols, Part III actually is On Nature by Empedocles, as it is evident by examining the books in Galata headquarters. However, the mission completion message incorrectly states it is Aesop's Fables by Socrates, which had been already collected during Signs and Symbols, Part II.
