Main article: The Polo Symbols

After completing the memory "Signs and Symbols, Part I", Ezio Auditore found the following books scattered throughout Constantinople with his Eagle Vision.

• The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
• The Travels of Marco Polo by Marco Polo
• One Thousand and One Nights by an unknown author
• The Book of Kings by Ferdowsi
• Nibelungenlied by an unknown author
• Iliad by Homer
• The Flute Girl by an unknown author

After finding and purchasing all the books, a cutscene involving bookshop owner Sofia Sartor and Ezio Auditore is unlocked at the Assassin hideout.

Trivia

• Book Shops and books have replaced the functions of Art Merchants and paintings from Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
• Buying every book available from the Book Shops in Constantinople and Cappadocia, along with finding all the hidden books from Polo Memories, unlocks the "Sage" achievement/trophy.
  • The December 20 2011 patch introduced a bug that prevents the game from awarding Sage after collecting all the books. If a subsequent patch does not fix this bug, clear your cache before obtaining the last book.
