Which FM manager you use? I don't know yet what could be the problem, just I'm trying to figure out. Maybe a wrong fm installation?

FMSel. The fm is in the same place as all the other t2 fms. I'm also using EP2 the latest one. I looked in the directory Books, and I can see the ledgers and the books and parchments. When I click on them I can read them. They just don't show up in the mission...at least the first one hasn't shown up, I don't know if the others are ok nor not since I haven't continued playing

I do not know what's wrong there :confused: . I tried with ND 1.21, 1.22 and 1.23, with and without EP2 and TP, but found nothing wrong, at least in readables.

Ok I just found a Books folder in my Documents folder! No idea what its doing there. I looked and it has the same files as your image does. Should I just drag that folder into the t2 folder?
There's a note in the folder that I wrote and it says that the books folder isn't needed but I just saved it to docs just in case. I think this happened when I was installing EP. I was having a problem and someone said to remove the books folder from the t2 folder so it wouldn't clash with fms books

No, don't put the books folder in your T2 folder. You are using FM Sel. FM Sel does not install FMs into the T2 folder itself. It puts them in a separate FMs subfolder inside the T2 folder. I can see that FMs folder in the picture you posted. Go into that FMs folder and find the Being Thief folder. Inside that, there should be a books folder with the files that are in Ricebug's picture.
Also, I can see in your picture that your T2 folder has other folders in it that it shouldn't, not if you are using FM Sel. You should get rid of the following folders:
Fam
Intrface
Obj
Mesh
Strings
They shouldn't be in the T2 folder. But if you're nervous about deleting them, you can always just drag them somewhere else, as you did the books folder.

If you're using FMSel the 'books' folder, based on your screenie, should be located at ...\Thief2\FMs\being_thief_v1_1\books. Ricebug uses Darkloader which works differently. So look for it there and if it's not then your Thief2 install is messed up and should be reinstalled as probably the simplest way to fix the problem.
I'm an hour into replaying this classic and all readables are working fine (NewDark 1.23 using FMSel with all the graphical enhancements (EP2, etc) from Tafferpatcher). Some paintings are blank though, but appear correctly if I disable the enhancements (put a semi-colon before the line in cam_mod.ini), which happens with some pre-NewDark FMs.
Edit: yes, do what Tannar says and delete/move those folders and I bet your readables/etc will work again. This happened from using Darkloader in the past with this Thief2 install.

Ricebug, I don't have a Books folder in my T2 folder...
Yes yes. You have there a FM installed with Darkloader also, that's a problem. If you want to know which FM is, check "strings/titles.str" file ;) The path to BT readables installed with FM Selector looks like:
yourT2dir\FMs\being_thief_v1_1\books\english\ .
