What is not included in the TWoS install instructions is:

- You should not install the game in protected folders, contrary of what is said in the PDF install instructions. Do NOT install it in the Program Files folder, but install it in a free accessible folder with another name like c:\games\SH5. You will run in numerous troubles if you don't respect that.
- You must prepare your card grafics, say the scaling options as said above, and other annoying things explained in the Win 10 tutorial threads.

Then: Do not ALT-TAB out of the game, it will mess it up, this can be the reason of distorted and missing grafics, crew member 'disappearing', sounds missing, strange sub behavior, Donald Trump writing some twitters etc.
I bet that's the reason of your missing book grafics. I's not permanent however: Saving and reloading the game will fix it.

In the TWoS install you must not forget to run the Generic Patch Enabler and do it correctly, it's cumbersome procedure but simple enough.
