All Tome Locations in Warhammer: Vermintide 2
Tomes are hidden all throughout the Warhammer: Vermintide 2 main campaign, and we know where to find them.
In addition to a host of collectibles like weapons or upgrades, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 players will also be seeking out Tomes. Not only are these powerful items able to provide players with additional experience, they also reward them with extra bonus points toward the loot boxes earned after completing each mission. Considering their benefits, players would do well to seek out the Tomes spread throughout each of the game's missions. Luckily, we know where to start the search.
Tomes provide Vermintide 2 players with considerable boosts to end-mission loot chests, but that benefit doesn't come cheap. Not only do players have to find each Tome, they also have to equip them in their inventory's healing item slot. Fortunately, it is possible to drop the Tome in order to pick up and use a dropped healing item — just be sure to reclaim the Tomes afterward and carry them toward the end of the mission.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Act 1 Tome Locations
Both Tomes and Grimoires are a great way for players to increase the amount of experience and the level of loot gained at the end of each mission. Unlike Grimoires, Tomes don't actively inhibit a player's health, though they do prevent them from carrying healing items. Still, players willing to trade safety for experience would do well to nab all three Tomes in each Act 1 mission, where the odds aren't stacked so highly against them.
All Tome Locations in Righteous Stand
Righteous Stand - Tome #1
The first Tome in Vermintide 2 is hidden in exactly the sort of conspicuous location seasoned game players might expect.

The second tome in Vermintide 2's first mission comes shortly after players cross over a narrow wall. In the distance, players will spot a gatehouse structure in the distance just beyond a short drop into the new area. Approach it, climb the stairs, then turn to the rightmost door and walk through. In the room, a hole can be noticed in the wooden platform, and the Tome will be hiding inside.
