Although it is possible to edit a book in code view I find that the presence of the tags make this a more time-consuming process because the tags reduce the clarity of the text and leads to errors.

Though it can certainly be perceived as "easier;" nine times out of ten, it is the editing in Book View that more often leads to errors (or at the very least, unforeseen/unwanted code changes) rather than the other way 'round. Mainly because you have no real way of knowing where you're
actually placing the cursor in the underlying "real" document when making edits in Book View's rendered representation of the document.
Regardless of the fate of Book View in the long run, I'd still encourage everyone to make as few edits to existing documents in Book View as possible. You'll only be saving yourself potential future heartache. Using Book View for the wholesale pasting of new content is, of course, a different story.
