That particular manual of wisdom is part of a small quest in Baldur's Gate, so you might want to wait to pickpocket it until after you've finished the quest (you'll be stealing from someone else).

If you're evil enough, you can keep the book and still complete the quest, although you'll have to wait to get the quest first for it to work.

I think that particular Manual of Wisdom was always given away as part of a quest, and then I righteoulsy beat down a certain wench...he he he...
