Keep in mind the following: * The books that start catalog quests are House Items that you can place in your home immediately upon finding them. * You must read the book in order to start the quest, but you do not need to carry the book with you as you advance the quest. * You will not lose the book when you complete the quest. Instead, you are actually given a second copy as a quest reward. Additional copies of the book can be repurchased from the city sages including a 1 copper tradeable version that is added to the sage's list of wares once you have completed the related quest.
