Watch the video of the tutorial in my original post (that is the how the game UI looked and acted at launch) and you will see that there is a spellbook button on the first/original/classic UI.
Right, but for technical reasons (Titanium just can't re-make classic) they aren't actually trying to re-create that classic UI. Instead, they're trying to re-create the UI that came after classic, but before custom UIs.

So it would be 100% consistent for the devs to say "Kunark UI had no book button, so P99 own't either." They could decide "we're not trying to re-create Kunark UI, we're trying to get as close as we can to Classic", and if that was the case I think leaving the button in would make sense, as a sort of "1.1" UI between classic and Kunark.

But thus far it sounds like they're just giving up on the classic UI 100%, and starting everyone with Kunark UI ... which (classically) had no book button.
