There seems to be a reproducable crash with the item collector regarding books. I purchased the following book from Chronicler Bixbot in PoK:
Item(18475): Meldrath: Balance Sundered [*Meldrath: Balance Sundered]
LORE NODROP NORENT
Book: meldrath1
Whenever I attempt to read the text of the book (right click it), the item collector crashes:
BACKEND caused an invalid page fault in
module BACKEND.EXE at 0167:00434cb1.
