I just found a solution and it's soooo simple. It's been staring us all in the face the whole time. Give it back to the Butler as a gift. Select the Butler, go to Friendly > Give Gift... > Friendly Gift... then choose the book. I found it when I was giving a gift to another Sim. I gave them the freebie earbuds so I could get a different colour and the book was on the list. I tried it with the Butler and it worked. The book is gone now.

Just wanted to say, I found this thread since I had a similar problem... and the giving the item as a gift solved it!!
I had a painting that a guest started, and then abandoned, at my painter sim's house. It couldn't be moved or finished. I put the easel in my painter sim's inventory -- and the painting went in and got stuck, since it wasn't his. I would have just accepted this -- except now every other large painting that went in got stuck "behind" the bugged painting in the stack. This would have been disastrous, since my painter sim loves to do large paintings from reference all over Sulani, but he would have not been able to get them back to his gallery to sell. (And you can't put them in the household inventory when off the lot, and you can only put them in another sim's inventory when they are present with you.)So, iamsweetmystery, thank you so much for this elegant solution!

@flotsette1So I have this problem too then found this solution and was very happy. Only I don’t have Seasons and apparently you can only do the gift thing with Seasons. Really? I don’t want Seasons and I shouldn’t have to buy it to fix a game glitch.
I even moved my sim to a new house, still stuck. I repaired the game, I use no CC or mods, I tried testing cheats but that didn’t work. Can this please be fixed, EA?
