Find the tower of books below the market, then follow the 31-move Tower of Hanoi sequence to rebuild the stack on the rightmost table.
The Suncraft book riddle is the tower of books below the market. Move all five books from the left table to the rightmost table. You may move only the top book, and a larger book cannot sit on a smaller one. The shortest solution takes 31 moves.
Use the table names as they appear when you first reach the puzzle: Left holds the stack, Middle is empty, and Right is the destination. The book order from smallest to largest is Blue, Red, Green, Pink, and Orange.

At the end, the right table should show Orange at the bottom, followed by Pink, Green, Red, and Blue. Steam's current achievement page counts this as one of three Riddle Master requirements.
If your stack no longer matches step 1
Do not jump into the middle of the table unless the books are in exactly the same positions. The 31 rows are a complete solution from the original left-table stack, not a recovery sequence from an arbitrary partial state. The checked sources do not document a reset method.
After the book stack is complete, use the torch puzzle and pillar puzzle, then check the Riddle Master checklist if the achievement does not register.
