Description
The piclist reading code reads 3 items, separated by a space: [Book] [Reference] [Rest of the line]
If the user forgets to put a space after the book, PTXprint can end up writing a line that is interpreted as:
[BookReference] [Rest] [of the line]
Leaving the user scratching their heads about why things aren't working properly.
