Hey there,
So it seems, much to the annoyance of some who have bought this item, that you can get the rewards from the book without actually spending the 1000 silver. This kinda seems like a pretty major bug that people can exploit, and so I thought that it would be worth mentioning.

Gotta laugh about this. Destiny has been plagued with issues since launch yet they rush to fix a problem where a micro transaction item drops for free. If only they cared about the quality of their game or their customers as much as they do about their bottom line.
