Anyone willing to help me out?

Hey just got a quick question. I started the librarian quest for Winterhold college but i already had the first book from long before. The game doesn't recognize it and i cannot continue the quest. The book is Glories and lament to specify the quest. Any way around this?

Also, I seem to not be able to acquire my next quest for the thieves guild.

Sorry if posted in the wrong section.

I believe I had to flag quest stages through the console when I had this issue.

The librarian wants a specific copy of the book.

Yes I have made the quest active and went to the cave the book is at. Went to the chest that was marked in the cave and there is no book. Emptied the chest and it still had an arrow above it. I'm pretty sure i grabbed it there at one point before starting this quest.

Btw, what do you mean flag a quest?

Had a similar bug w/ a different quest and received the advice to 1) leave the cave, re-enter and item might be in chest and 2), of course, load an earlier save and try again.

Have you checked out the USEP site? If you look up the quest on that site, they have a list of known bugs and solutions. It is a really helpful site for this type of stuff.

This may not help at all, but did you try dropping/picking the book back up?

If your on PC look up the quest on the wiki, that will tell you the commands to advance the quest.

I always recommend when you are asked to look for a random item from a random location to save before you continue that quest. Have you tried talking to him to see if the quest can be canceled?
