Unable to use the housing editor to place Shalidor's books

Haruspex

The books are in my inventory but they are not listed in the housing editor.

You got from the vendor a pack of books. Unpack them before you can use them.

Thank you, I assumed they went into the shelf as a multivolume set of books. This will make putting them on bookshelves frustrating and space consuming, glad I did not buy them all yet lol

Also, the books are supposed to be interactable. they are a tad too large for a bookcase so they are hard to place and even though they are green when placed the cannot be interacted. they DO work well on normal shelves, in stacks, and random tossing them around the room though and their interaction works like that fine. just not if placed in the bookshelf.

I did notice that they were too big for my bookshelf to be placed upright. I also started to stack them on the shelf and around the room. On a related topic, does anyone know if the books you buy from the crown store are the same or decorative? I remember seeing a 'stack of books' but the server went down so I cannot check atm.

Edit: For those interested, there are rows and stacks of books that you can buy with crowns in the housing editor which are decorative and not functional. I tested the longer row of books out and they are a little big for my shelf but it's not noticeable after placing them.
