OK, so patch 1.4 was supposed to take care of the issues with the bookcases. This is not the case. Something is wrong with the scripting. Example: fill a bookcase with books in one of your houses (doesn't seem to matter what one). Leave and come back later, and try to use the bookcase - *POOF* - all or, oddly, most, of your books are gone! WTH? It is possible to retrieve all your books one at a time by using them and then taking them, but if you use the bookcase to take them all at once, you're more likely to lose all of them instead.
