There are some highlighted container, what you cannot click, when it's highlighted, as it's partially "hidden" by the background's pixels, so you need find the accurate position, when it's highlighted without 'active perception'. Then you can click on it. (I found a similar book in Chilly Creek, which was on the table, i saw it, yet wasn't able to pick up until i had to go back there, and as just brought the cursor through the table to click on the necessary NPC, i saw for a moment to pop up the 'pick up' option. It took me about another 20 minutes, to find that point again.)
