Lost Book Menu
🌟Mod Overview
This mod adds a new menu system that allows you to easily read all the lost books you've found, no more rummaging through library shelves looking for a specific book! The menu can be opened in two ways: by clicking on Gunther's new book in the museum, or by using a configurable shortcut key (not set by default).
🎨 Visual effects
The mod itself uses the cover texture from the original Lost Book. However, it is highly recommended to use the Random Lost Library Book Cover module produced by Airyn to make your reading experience more colorful!
⚙️ Installation Guide
- First, view the image for version 1.1.0+ and choose the style you like: "Original" or "Minimal"
- Note: The image is captured at 2560x1440 resolution, if your resolution is smaller, the actual menu will appear larger
- As of version 2.0.0, both styles are included in the same mod download and can be switched via configuration files
- Manual installation: Extract the mod to the Stardew Valley/Mods folder
- Install using the mod manager: download through the manager and install normally
- Uninstall: Delete directly from the module folder
🔧 Configuration options
After installing the mod and running the game, you can adjust the mod settings via GMCM or directly edit the generated config.json file.
✅ Compatibility Notes
There are currently no known issues! By using "scaled down" and adjusting configuration settings as needed, the menu should work fine at any resolution. The mod also supports multiplayer (including split-screen mode) and controllers. If you find any problems, please provide feedback in time!
🙏 Acknowledgments
Special thanks to Airyn for allowing me to incorporate his cover sprite into this mod, and to aedenthorn for creating the Mailbox Menu, which I used as the basis for this mod.

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
