ie: while the book is in the world and disregarding the small window where it's being dropped, always run a random timer to 'reset' the book position to the saved coordinates if the book isn't on its 'native' form.

What's the point, does the book fall down if it's not reset often? Clearly not because setting a book on top of a object and then removing that object doesn't cause a fall, so why the performance loss of keeping this running whenever the book is not being player dropped?

Also btw, this part of the code should really run only on 'not in inventory'.
