How to read a book found from an underground ruins

[melodelic]

Hello! I've got a book (screenshot included) that I cannot figure out how to learn. I've tried to right click, left click, open via the hotbar and nothing has worked so far. Can I not actually get this book into the journal page? Thanks

For anyone having this same issue, put the book in your hotbar, and then right click on a block and it should learn the book.

Have you learned other books successfully in the same savegame?

When you loot a book, it is already determined what it contains. So if you already have learned that same passage from another book, you cannot learn it a second time. In such a case, trying to learn it should display a message somewhere - either on the screen or in the chatlog - that there is nothing new to learn from this book.
