Use Books of Death only once?

[Lucans]

Thanks so much for your replies, I finally got the Book to work again.
I thínk I clicked properly, I haven´t had any other problems with clicking items in the whole game, just the two Books.

No blue scratching hand, just the walking boots, the image of the Book is not lit either: earlier there was a beam of greenish light over it.

I think, but I'm not sure, that this happened after I installed the patch. I did that after the game started crashing a lot.

However, since both of you said that the Books were definitely meant to work, I kept clicking all the time and after a good 10 minutes I suddenly got the pop-up message. Yes! After a long week I was able to continue the game.

Thanks, I'm very grateful. It's a fun game.
